The pasta was corkscrew with the sauce and was very good. The waiter was good knowing that I needed the salad without croutons.

They have a gluten friendly menu, not gluten free. My server informed me. They cook the pasta and broccoli in the same water as the regular pasta. not good for someone with an allergy or celiac. I was wondering why I was getting sick and couldn't figure it out.

I love eating here. Unlike the Olive Garden closer to me, these guys get it, and the food is worth it. They cook their noodles well and you have access to their great sauces.

baked chicken and broccoli, salad and spumoni! I liked the corkscrew GF pasta with marinara and mizithra sauces with the baked chicken too!

They were great about our GF pasta! They even have a little flag they stick in the GF dishes to tell them apart. On our visit with a very large group it was no big deal to be GF. It felt so nice to be" just like everyone else." as we left I saw several GF flags on tables across the restaurant, so I guess they not only take GF pasta seriously, they do it right.

We had a very enjoyable dinner and experience. Jasmine was knowledgeable, attentive and so kind. Salad, pasta and chicken were all gluten-free! Ask for gf menu.

The food was just ok, but the staff seemed knowledgeable, and my food did arrive with a “gluten friendly” marker.

You wouldn’t think a place called the spaghetti factory would have a gluten free menu, but they do.

Plenty of options to choose from.

Definitely not gluten free. The food comes out tagged “gluten friendly”, but it definitely contains gluten or has cross contamination.

I ordered the gluten free Alfredo and salad. I was okay after eating the salad, but once I got partially through the pasta, I felt like I wanted to throw up. I did share with the server I had Celiac Disease and she confirmed that they could accommodate and it was made separately. It tasted like they used the pasta water for the Alfredo sauce. I do not recommend this to anyone even if you call and ask which I did.
