I got the GF pasta Alfredo and breaded chicken (yes breaded chicken) for lunch. So much food I had leftovers. Didn’t make me sick. It was delicious and staff was super knowledgeable about my condition. I am taking another person from work here next week as she is gluten intolerant. 🤙🏽

They have a gluten free menu including most of the regular pasta sauces. However, my experience with the waitress was awful. I told her I was ordering from the gf menu and that I was coeliac and she rolled her eyes at me and was incredibly rude, which did not give me very much confidence. A manager reassured me on their cross contamination measures and the food was decent, but it was not a pleasant experience

Very nice GF menu. The pasta was good and they flag your entree as GF before they bring it out of the kitchen. Good experience.

Well, first time I got sick, second time no problem. The pasta is delicious (Heartland brand) but the marinara is unimpressive. Alfredo was much better. I only go here when my friends want to, but they do seem to mostly know what they're doing.

Their gluten free menu provided plenty of options. The server that we had was not at all competent dealing with gluten free menu items (he asked me if I could have bread!), but the dish, when it arrived, was incredible. I'll be going there whenever I have a craving for Italian, but I hope I don't get the same kid who served us last time.

I don't understand the rave reviews. The waiter was ready to offer me minestrone soup although I had advised him I was gluten free. He was unfamiliar with the gluten free options. I ordered the gf pasta with marinara. Honestly it tasted like something a college student would cook with a bottled sauce. If you want a basic gluten free pasta come here otherwise if you want a hearty meal go elsewhere.

Just returned to our hotel after dining here. They have a specific GF menu, as well as all GF items noted on the regular menu. I had the Classic Pasta (gluten free) with the Hearty Meat Sauce and the browned butter and cheese sauce. All entrees come with a salad and ice cream for dessert. The GF entree arrived at our table with a flag on it to identify it as GF. I really enjoyed this place and would recommend it to any of my GF/Celiac friends.

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.
