The Old Spaghetti Factory

They have a GF menu printed right on the regular menu. I called ahead and asked the manager if they use different pots to cook the GF pasta and she said yes they did. Our server didn't seem up on it--he offered me soup (minestrone) or salad. The soup wasn't on the GF menu so when I asked him if it had pasta in it he seemed confused. So go by the GF menu and not what the server says. My pasta (rotini) came with a little sign on it that said Gluten Free, which I appreciated.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a separate gluten free menu. I did not get sick here but the food was not that great either. It was just pasta that had no flavor and a little bit of sauce that tasted like it was from a jar and some mushrooms that also had no flavor. I probably could have made it myself, and I’m not a very good cook. 4 stars because the food came out with a little flag that said “gluten free.”

We visited Old Spaghetti factory while on a trip to San Jose. Our overall experience was very good. They have a separate gluten friendly menu. You get a choice of about 4-5 different sauces to put over GF noodles. Not a HUGE variety, but still finding GF pasta is always a win in my book!! I have to avoid red sauce due to GERD so my only choice was the Mizithra and Brown butter sauce for my pasta. It was good but a little bland. I did request some lemon slices and used that to help pep it up a little bit. It also came with a side salad. They have 2 GF salad dressings - balsamic vinaigrette or a creamy pesto dressing. I went with the creamy pesto. Once again, the salad was good but not great. The portion sizes are generous. The prices are reasonable. Dinner for 2 (2 pasta dishes with 2 side salads, no drinks or desserts) was $45. Overall, we had good service and good food at a reasonable price.

Great place to eat gf if you’re in a pinch, the service is great and there’s is a gf menu. They recommend you talk to the manager before ordering and he will tell the chef personally. The food was delivered separately and marked with a flag. Overall just decent food.
