The Old Spaghetti Factory

All the salad sauces were gluten free, unfortunately there’s not a lot of gluten free options as no meat is suitable, the only pasta available was fusilli and only had a choice of about 3 dishes

I always have a great time! The server brought over the allergy menu, triple checked all my allergies including gluten, and even brought me some GF bread sticks to make up for not being able to eat the bread! I love it here

Was surprised to read negative reviews as my family had a really good experience here on July 3rd! The server was knowledgeable about GF options, but didn't hesitate to go ask in the kitchen if she wasn't sure.

My daughter and I both had GF penne with Alfredo sauce as the meat sauce contained gluten. There was no mention of a GF menu; items were marked on the regular menu as GF or could be made GF. We were charged extra for the GF pasta, but this is standard so I don't know why a previous review complains of this. Also, most restaurants often have only one GF pasta option so they aren't an exception here.

The atmosphere was fun and we didn't wait that long for our food. The salad and ice cream included in the price makes this an exceptionally reasonable place to go for downtown Toronto!

The "gluten free menu" lists their feast as having an upgraded desert yet they have no gluten free option. They also list their pastas as spagehtti but the gluten free is penne. The managaer admitted their gluten free menu is incorrect and deceiving. Also, even though it is a gluten free menu, there are still upcharges listed for GF pasta.

Once we spoke to the manager, they spoke to the kitchen manager and let us know what was safe to eat.

Very confused why they published a gluten free menu that is in fact not gluten free.

Ok food and service. Not a lot of gluten free options, pasta was good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is not worth the time. Server was very unfriendly and not sensitive to gluten free diet. When the pasta came out, he wasn't sure which one was gluten free. Would never ever go back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Might have gf pasta but as told by the chief nun of the sauces are gluten free

Bland food. Outdated decor, and bored wait staff. And they glutened me. I recommend passing this one by.

Good food, good atmosphere. A must try.

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten safety. The gluten free menu had diverse food options and the taste was excellent.

Staff was very knowledgeable about gluten safety, down to the fact their paper straws had a gluten disclaimer on the box they came in There was a nice variety of options on the separate gluten friendly menu. Service was quick and good, food was tasty.

I was quite impressed with how accommodating they were and the server was happy to answer and provide questions. I had the roasted garlic lemon chicken and I quite enjoyed it. You could definitely tell the pasta was gluten free, but it’s one of the better dishes I’ve had in a restaurant. Only thing I wish was different is that there was a GF dessert option, they had ice cream but it was a may contain so depends on your tolerance.
