I honestly have to say I don’t typically complain and I didn’t complain at the restaurant and even gave a $33 tip. Here’s the problem. The prime rib came out looking nothing like the advertised picture that lured us in in the first place. We...asked for mediums rare to rare and the meat came out thin and medium to well done. There’s other places in Penticton that have fantastic prime rib dinners for around the same price, thick red servings with all the fixings, horseradish etc. I think they should stick with the pasta as we have been in numerous times and the pasta has always been of great quality. They should get out of the prime rib. SorryMore

The Pasta Factory is a great option if you're looking for a comfortable environment to have some yummy pasta with family or friends. The portions are large, you get a lot for the price. The food makes you feel nice and cozy. The drinks are...tasty as well, I love the different sangrias!More

We just happen to arrive in town on Monday night and decided to check out the pasta factory, the place was packed they had their Monday night passed a special on but we opted out of that. My husband ordered the spinach and crab lasagna...I ordered smoked salmon with pesto sauce, we started with a Caesar salad and ended with cheesecake the meal was fantastic. Thank you to our handsome waiter, Dan, you made our dining experience 100%. If we ever make it back to Penticton we will definitely come back to this restaurant. This restaurant was following Covid measures. 😁 Thank youMore

Waited 2 hours and 10 minutes to be told it would take at least another 90 minutes for food before being seated. Ridiculous!! When you have at least a dozen other great restaurants in town to lose business to, manage your capacity better.

You should probably eat before you go. 4 pasta dishes off the menu. Didn’t look slammed and you couldn’t get your waitress to make eye contact. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

Food mediocre-overcooked pasta with very little, bland sauce. Poor service-Only one other table occupied and waited nearly 10 min for waitress to greet us. When she did she acted like we disturbed her. Not friendly at all. Overpriced for what you get. Too many great...restaurants in Penticton to waste money here againMore

I brought a new friend to try the reasonable lunch specials only to find they don’t exist anymore. All the items are dinner priced and we are seniors who wanted a great meal like I’ve had many times before. Today was tasteless , the Caesar...salad was fresh but had no taste and the croutons that I could find were store bought without the usual wonderful garlic flavour. What happened? I will not be back.More

One of the things I look forward to when eating out is enjoying a dish I can't make, or can’t make as good at home. So, when my homemade meat sauce, made from my canned tomatoes is better....I end up being disappointed with the restaurant....I had the lunch pasta combo with penne and meat sauce and it was "alright". My main issue was there was barely any sauce on it. I think pasta with barely any sauce is awful. The pasta was cooked well though, so that's why it still got 2 stars even though the sauce was almost non-existant.More

Talked a friend into coming here as he’s not a pasta person. We both had the manicotti, his with Caesar, mine with house salad. He was very impressed and we both really enjoyed our choice. It’s hard to pick what you want because all the...food that comes out of the kitchen all looks so good. Excellent food.More

No I don't believe they deliver. I've never seen any delivery people in all the years I've been going there.
