The Old Spaghetti Factory

Staff were knowledgeable. They informed me that their restaurant is not a gluten free facility but they will do their best to eliminate as much cross contamination by making the food in a separate pan. The salad, Alfredo pasta, chicken, and ice cream were yummy. I did not get sick either so that was a plus. Would probably go back here at some point if I was in the area for pasta.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gf menu, waiter took celiac concerns seriously, had salad and GF pasta with meat sauce & no reaction!

I've been glutenated twice there, despite having reported an allergy when ordering the gf pasta.

Went there last month and had the GF pasta. Hour later I had a horrible itch and hives on my arms and chest. Eat at your own risk.

Not my favorite place for gluten free pasta. But it's a nice option if you're downtown. I certainly won't turn it down if I'm in the area. (My fav gf pasta place is Willow Street Pizza)

Limited GF menu, but the pasta we had was good.

I was SO impressed with their GF pasta!! It’s so good!! Honestly tastes like regular pasta from what I can remember haha! Amazing!!

Not celiac safe. They make gluten free pasta in same water. They have a “gluten friendly “ menu. I hate that term.

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.

Not safe for severe sensitivity/true allergy/celiac. Both my husband and I have celiac and got sick from eating pasta here…they clarified that it’s actually boiled in the same water ‘vat’ that the reg pasta is…so it’s only gluten reduced technically. The food comes out marked with a gluten free flag, but it’s definitely misleading, as gluten free pasta cooked in water that has also cooked gluten containing pasta means that the gf pasta is not gluten free after all…and most definitely not safe for someone with celiac.
