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.

They have a gluten free menu and everything is brought out flagged. The GF pasta and Alfredo sauce was great!

I am celiac, I appreciated everything being clearly marked on the menu.. I ordered a bowl of pasta with different sauces and Italian sausage and a side salad, everything came out the way I expected, it was very delicious, and I did not get sick at all. I believe there is a strong possibility of cross-contamination, given that everything on the menu is normally gluttonous unless GF pasta is ordered

So I tend to avoid Italian restaurants like the plague because of the usually lacking options that I am provides. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the Spaghetti Factory offered a gluten free menu, which included not only pasta, but Italian sausage as well.

The prices were pretty decent. The meal include salad, bread for the carb lovers, and a choice of spumoni or vanilla ice cream for dessert. The service was good. I do have to give the server props for noticing that there was a blue cheese crumble in my salad and got me a new one prior to serving it.

A few sloppy wait staff, so emphasize your needs and watch for crotons. Otherwise, great pasta options!

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.

Don’t trust the GF claims. Either they don’t monitor cross contamination or just flat messed up our order.
