The Old Spaghetti Factory

I visited The Old Spaghetti factory last night and was not disappointed! This was the second location I had been to and the quality of the food was exactly the same. This location uses GF rigatoni (at least right now) - the only rigatoni they use at the restaurant, which always makes me feel reassured. They have a GF menu that clearly shows the variety of sauces, toppings etc. that are safe, and how to order them. Our servers were very knowledgeable and took it very seriously. They use a clean pot and water for the pasta and it comes out with a flag. However my favorite part is always the spumoni ice cream! Writing this review from the next day and no reaction or issues, and I am very sensitive to CC. I would go back if I was staying in town longer.

Really enjoyed the meat sauce and rotini. Loved the devour and the service was impressive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I used to love coming here but I got sick last time I ate here. There is a gluten free menu but they say they cannot prevent cross contamination. The broccoli is not on the GF menu due to them boiling it in pasta water. I don’t think I will be returning due to our last experience which is disappointing.

Celiac friendly?

No

It's a corn and rice based spiral pasta which costs $.99 more and can be had with 4 or 5 different sauce choices. Our pasta came out with a little flag in the middle indicating the GF pasta. We had the browned butter and mizithra cheese sauce, and were quite pleased.

It was delicious, but I was poisoned on New Years Eve!!!! Make sure you are very thorough in your instructions to make sure you don't get cross contaminated.

Celiac friendly?

No

I went with s huge group of people. I love OSF but this is the first time I'd been with gluten allergies. The server gave me info on some GF choices and they have a nice GF menu. I got the Mizithra cheese and brown butter with GF pasta. Was very yummy. I ordered a side of chicken breast that was on the GF menu. I ate it but thought it may have had a light bread batter, looked like skin though. When I got the bill it said breaded chicken so I'm not sure now. Hadn't had any problems though. Just be sure to check, especially when they are busy.

Decent GF selection, the wait staff seemed pretty informed about allergens and the pasta dish came out with a little flag clearly marking it GF

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF options are good. I seem to have had a mild reaction eating here once but that may have been from dairy (cheese) which I'm sensitive to.

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.
