The OSF on Watt Ave is NOT Celiac safe at all. Me and daughter got sick even after we said we had Celiac. I suspect they boil the GF pasta in the SAME water as the regular.

Had dinner last night and I usually don’t complain on social media but I felt the need to bring this one out. My dinner consisted of a salad and pasta with meat sauce. I also requested the grilled chicken which was on the gluten-free menu. When I received the chicken it appeared that it had been fried with some sort coating/breading and someone had scraped it off of the top of the chicken but not the bottom. Somewhat disappointed as I am not sure if that breading was gluten-free but it was only on the bottom of the chicken and in certain spots on the top. I do wish that I had taken a picture. But the pasta and salad were fine.

Was scared to eat here but gave it a shot. They claim to have a separate area to cook GF pasta. My food tasted great and did not have reaction, very pleasantly surprised. Also took a chance and had the house Chianti which was also fine.

We ate here for a team banquet while in town playing on the outdoor ice rink at Raley Field in Sacramento. The wait staff was very knowledgeable about gluten issues and explained how they make their GF pasta away from the other dishes. They even brought me a salad and explained that it was made without exposure to croutons. So far, no reactions. I took Glutenease before the meal, so that may have helped eliminate minor cross contamination, if there was any. Now I have another option to PF Changs when in Sacramento. Good job OSF.

I had been at other locations of the Old Spaghetti Factory and was able to order items. But this location does not have enough ventilation so for a person who is allergic to wheat it is impossible to eat there. Just sitting at the table before eating I had an allergic reaction just smelling the bread products. I had to rush out in only about 2 minutes of sitting. My asthma is triggered by wheat in the air.

I have been here a few times since I was diagnosed with celiacs and I've been really disapointed. I grew up going here with my family and while I think they have wonderful food for people without allergies. going back now with celiacs has been hell. I've goten sick 2 of the 3 times and the one time I didn't get sick the waiter asked me if I had an allergy or if it was just a diet. the comment pissed me off why would that matter if I ask for gluten free you should just assume its an allergy. it makes me wonder what would have happened differently had I said it was a diet choice. Was he asking me permission to be less diligent about cross contamination it just made me nervous. I've been going there since I was a kid but I haven't been back since that incident. just be cautious

Gluten free (they call it “gluten friendly”) menu. Was straightforward, delicious and didn’t feel sick later!

The food was just ok, but the staff seemed knowledgeable, and my food did arrive with a “gluten friendly” marker.
