About The Old Spaghetti Factory
Set back from the lake in the built up middle of the city, 1755 Capri Street gives The Old Spaghetti Factory something the waterfront blocks cannot: room, and a parking situation that does not turn into an expedition. Kelowna spreads out rather than stacking up, and for a restaurant sitting away from the shoreline, being a short drive from most districts matters more than being on the water.
Restaurants set back from downtown's waterfront strip work on a different rhythm than the ones squeezed onto the lakefront blocks. Parking is easier to find, turning up without booking ahead is less of a gamble, and a location like this one is often the practical choice when a group needs somewhere everyone can get to and park without circling the block. The trade off is timing rather than space: peak hours on a weekend evening still bring a wait wherever you go in the city, and an hour either side of the rush changes things considerably.
The number to call is 250-860-5111, and the website is oldspaghettifactory.ca. Ring ahead for anything over a handful of people, ask whether reservations are taken or whether the room works on a wait list, and ask about high chairs and accessible seating if that matters to your group. Visitors staying downtown or in the Mission should allow driving time; the city is friendly but strung out, and crossing it at the end of the day takes longer than the map suggests.
