I had the salad with house dressing, GF pasta with Alfredo say sauce, and spumoni ice cream. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. No reaction whatsoever! It was delish!

Fantastic separate gluten free options! No stomach ache after eating either! The spaghetti came with a separate " gluten free" flag on it so the kitchen staff knew!

While they have a gluten free menu, it is not safe for Celiac. They cook the gluten free pasta in the same water as the regular pasta. The only reason I was made aware was because the waitress told me. It is not advertised on the menu.

The staff was extremely knowledgeable about everything on their gluten friendly menu. Pasta, salad and dessert were delicious. There was even a balloon artist coming around to the tables. The only negative is the parking cost.

The dessert is ice cream, the GF menu is not extensive. There is gluten free pasta you can substitute. Flavor was ok. This was not a bad experience but NOT great! Do not think your going to get a great option. Side note I got the breast of chicken Alfredo but I had 7 small cubes of chicken.

I love this place. I'm a celiac and have never gotten the slightest bit sick from here. The manager came out and spoke with me and assured me that they take gluten seriously.

I had the GF pasta with mushrooms & marinara as well as the Italian sausage off the gluten free menu. My meal even came out with a GF flag on it. All was good! I made sure to mention that I have problems with cross contamination....

Although this restaurant was not GIG trained, they did consult with GIG to create their GF menu.

This place made me actually vomit an hour after eating. I have Celiac Disease and I informed the waiter of my dietary restrictions. We ate off of the gluten free menu and the waiter said they were knowledgeable in how to handle this and reassured me that everything would be taken care of. It wasn't. I am not sure what they did or didn't do, but DO NOT EVER EAT THERE!!!!! Not gluten free.

I have eaten here twice and both times were a success! I spoke with the manager and they took me seriously. I was given a gf menu and told that the GF pasta is cooked first thing in the morning with clean pots and pasta is stored separately. My food came out marked GF, it was hot and good. I recommend The Old Spaghetti Factory in Rancho Mirage.

It was okay. There was about a twenty minute wait time to be seated. Once seated the food came rather fast. I got the gluten free pasta (rotini) with meat sauce. It was very bland overall. However, my server did make sure to tell the kitchen I had an allergy and they marked it with a gf flag and brought it separate.
