The Old Spaghetti Factory

Growing up, I was not celiac. I always loved the spaghetti factory. Now that I am celiac it is nice when a company offers gluten-free noodles. Unfortunately I woke up severely sick this morning after eating there last night. Not sure if there is cross contamination or a lack of change of gloves. Any location I have been to of this company has gotten me sick. I will not be returning to the old spaghetti factory.

Great food and the waiter was knowledgeable. FYI the broccoli is blanched in the same water as the regular pasta.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food, GF menu and beer. No issues.

got sick after eating here

I went for my fiancés birthday, the waitress was very knowledgeable and took great care to make sure that everything wasn't cross contaminated. It didn't make me sick, and we've gone 4 times since November. It's pricey, but the service was great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I really like the old spaghetti factory. They have gluten-free items on a portion of their menu. Their gluten-free pasta is pretty tasty, and I like that I can have most of the sauces. A great deal for a three course meal, with the starter salad and dessert. The Decour is dark and full of large pieces of furniture and lighting fixtures. The service is good too.

They have a gluten free option for noodles. I don't know what they do in the back in the kitchen, but I was extremely sick after eating there. I have celiac and I am very sensitive. I wouldn't recommend for celiac.

Celiac friendly?

No

I cannot express how much I love this place. It has the Tacoma historicesque to the building. Their gluten free menu is small, but I have come multiple times and absolutely love their Baked Chicken Meal. It comes with a salad and all their dressings are spectacular. You must try this dish if you can, the mizithra and romano cheese blend with the tomato base sauce on gluten free fusilli noodles and a marinated chicken piece is scrumptious. it also comes with a scoop of icecream, all for just over 10 bucks. The only reason I rated 4 stars is the restaurant isnt GiG trained so the staff and sort of unknowledgable about GF foods at times. Sometimes we have to wait but it is always a pleasant meal and dinner date with my man. :)

Love the gluten free brown butter mizithra noodles.

My meat sauce spaghetti dish was awesome

Basic, decent food. GF pasta had good texture though salad was mostly iceberg and drowning in dressing. My daughters really liked the ranch dressing though. Waitstaff was very careful and clear about GF. My celiac daughter had no problems, so we'll be back next time we're in Tacoma.

Their gf menu is pretty tasty, and I wasn't contaminated by anything sneaky. The portions weren't all that impressive for the price, especially considering the bread everyone else fills up on isn't an option.

They were very accomodating & the food was great.

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.
