The Old Spaghetti Factory

Had a bit of a gluten reaction from here after eating their mediocre gf pasta…the staff assured me it would be safe :( I personally don’t think it’s worth the risk as a celiac! But the food did come out marked for gf with a flag so I see the effort. Maybe other locations are better.

I get sick everytime I go here which makes me sad because I loved it here as a child and my daughter loves it here.

Super sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

The noodles are really dry, but they can keep you safe. I don’t recommend having the salads because I think they’re cross contaminated a lot.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Terrible food. My pasta with meat sauce tasted like Hormel chili. I felt sick as soon as I walked outside. The waiter brought me a salad with croutons. I should have known better.

Delicious

Decent gluten free offerings. My son loved the pasta and salad. And he loved the flags that say gluten free then he knew for sure it was. Both he and I are very sensitive to cross contamination and neither of us were sick after eating here. Great atmosphere too.

The pasta is delicious and nicely firm for GF pasta but I was so nauseous an hour later. I don’t know if it’s the fat content or gluten but I won’t risk it again.

Edit: 2023 I no longer go here. They switched from “gluten free” to “gluten friendly” to “gluten friendly,” & a food server telling me that nothing is really gluten friendly anymore, cross contamination is rampant. If cross contact to gluten doesn’t bother you, I’ve always loved the taste of the food.

I go here often and have never had a problem. I make sure a manager is aware that I have Celiac. Gluten free pasta is OK, sauces are great. I love the sausage and baked chicken breast.

They have a gluten free menu. Spoke to the waitress who went to speak to the kitchen manager to check on cross contamination. They confirmed the GF pasta was cooked separately and allayed my fears about everything. Had the Mizithra Cheese & Browned Butter pasta and it was delicious. Salad starter was good and they checked the spumoni before serving that. All in all a great experience, they were happy to check everything and it was all good.
