The Old Spaghetti Factory

Celiac friendly?

No

The manager was very condescending and made sure to tell me that they aren't a gluten friendly restaurant, they just have gluten free pasta

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have had the gluten free pasta at this particular Spaghetti factory. I ordered it with the alfredo sauce which they say is a gluten free option. All they do is throw extra cheese onto the pasta with no alfredo sauce. This is the only Spaghetti factory I have gone to that does this. Highly disappointing..the gluten free with alfredo sauce is kind of expensive to only have cheese and no sauce. I will never eat at this particular Spaghetti factory again!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I'm always afraid to have gf pasta in a restaurant because of cross-contamination possibilities, but we ate here last week anyway, and it was delicious! The menu is clearly marked and my server and the hostess were both very knowledgeable about what was gf. My server even verified the cooking process to ease my mind. I was on vacation and did not want to get sick. It was simple, but yummy food. Best of all, no sickness later. And they give you ice cream for dessert. GF of course!

Mediocre food but they have a GF menu and food comes out with a flag, so you know your getting the right meal. I'd go across the street to Cheesecake Factory or Roy's if you are in the neighborhood, but if you have a GF kid looking for Mac n cheese it works. Staff is kind.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten at this particular Old Spaghetti Factor a few times now and have been happy each time. The brown butter sauce and Mizithra cheese is very good. Staff seems very knowledgeable and the menu and website clearly depict what is GF. The menu items will come out with GF flags on them so it is clear. Only reason why I gave 4 stars is I would appreciate more selections on the GF menu. Would definitely recommend to others.

I totally agree with Amanda! I don’t know if I eat too much cheese sauce because the portions are large or if it is contaminated. I will say though that they label the gluten free pasta with a special flag on the plate

Gluten free menu. Server was very accommodating. They have gluten free pasta. I had sirloin, mushrooms and gf pasta. I did risk the sweet potato fries in shared fryer. I have allergy not celiac and it didn’t seem to bother me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

Really enjoyed the meat sauce and rotini. Loved the devour and the service was impressive.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The pasta was corkscrew with the sauce and was very good. The waiter was good knowing that I needed the salad without croutons.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is one of our go to restaurants. They have Mac and cheese for the kids and regular salads and pasta for adults. Pasta is cooked in separate water to limit CC. Waiters and managers are very helpful and knowledgeable, but they will tell you that even though they try their best they can't guarantee it is gluten free. We have never gotten sick with our celiac kids. Plus free ice cream!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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?

No

Our server was incredibly helpful and honest about the gluten free options. They cook the GF pasta in the same water was the regular pasta. They offer broccoli and zoodles- neither of which are truly gluten free. Disappointing and definitely not Celiac friendly, but our server’s honesty and willingness to check everything was fantastic.

Celiac friendly?

No

This is not celiac friendly at all. The gluten friendly pasta is made in the same water as regular pasta. :( I definitely got glutened from eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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?

No

They now offer Zooddles or Broccoli as alternate to noodles... they are NOT GF!!🤬 They are both boiled in the same water as the regular noodles. Seriously, this would be an AMAZING alternative for gluten sensitive folks (do NOT eat here if you're celiac). The supplier for their zucchini noodles and broccoli can't guarantee their veggies are GF, so they don't even try to make these options available for sensitive folks.

Celiac friendly?

No

They try very hard the make a safe meal. The first time we went was ok, the second time I got sick. The food isn't very good so won't be going back.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing food! The staff especially Jessica were super friendly and knowledgeable about gluten and celiac. All their sauces are GF and you can sub the GF noodles. Super good!!! Jessica also brought out vanilla ice cream with brown butter on the side to try. Highly recommend!!! Will be going back!

Celiac friendly?

No

I got sick ordering the gluten free pasta here. It was undercooked and not very good either.

Pasta was ok but the staff was friendly and very helpful. Will return.

The GF menu is small, but I can’t complain because I love that some of my favorites (before my doctor discovered my gluten allergy via blood test) are on there. For what I was expecting, their GF pasta is pretty good. The texture is different, but I like it. Excited I can still have the creamy pesto sauce on my salads, too. Each time my plate has been marked with a special “Gluten-Free” stick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was good. Gluten friendly menu. Manager was knowledgeable and helpful. Double check the sausage!! Would have given 5 stars but the sausage listed on the GF menu was not GF and we ordered it. Thankfully the manager was on the ball and caught it before we ate it, took the plate back to the kitchen and returned with fresh pasta. It’s important to ask the questions! We will return!

Good food. Gf menu. Good service and love the free glass with the Italian soda

Celiac friendly?

No

I informed the server that I required a gluten free meal she responded, “You need to know that we cook the g-f pasta IN THE SAME WATER as all other pasta.” Beware

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Has a gluten free menu. The noodles and clam sauce was very tasty. Great waiter. No issues whatsoever!!

When I called and asked about GF pasta, I was told it's cooked in the same water as pasta containing gluten. What's the point. Disappointing 😞

Gluten friendly menu. No dedicated fryer for celiac.

GF pasta was amazing. Really neat place and staff was super nice.

Celiac friendly?

No

Had a bad reaction after having some GF pasta

Celiac friendly?

No

Had GF spaghetti.. got very sick.

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

Overall, I did not get sick. Nima tested everything GF (salad with balsamic vinaigrette, mizithra and brown butter GF pasta and Spumante ice cream). Our waiter was very rude, not just about GF, to our table and the one next to us. I asked for the manager twice before waiter would get her (menu says to do so when ordering). Rating not sure because of the obvious risk of cross contamination and some questionable risks (such as bringing my food on the same tray as everyone else’s).

Went to a birthday party tonight and was blown away at the service I received. I am Gluten-Free and usually have a problem eating at any restaurant that is not designated totally gluten-free. The waitress asked my selection and I told her, “no, I’m gluten- free.” She told me I could have the Alfredo (which used to be my favorite dish) and just let my server know. My server and the men and women who helped serve my table took care of me so well! They made sure I didn’t have croutons on my salad, and served me with a smile and a great attitude. I left sorry that I didn’t have more cash on hand to tip them. (Our meal was paid for and I ask around to borrow $5 until tomorrow morning at church because these guys definitely deserved it!) Thank you Old Spaghetti Factory. I will be back. You’re team is exceptional and I have never been treated so well at a restaurant. Thank you! 💖

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious, quick pasta dish which was relatively inexpensive!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I always get the gluten free pasta with browned butter and Mizithra cheese (if you cant do dairy there are other options) with an added GF sauted (seasoned) chicken breast. Sooo good. Haven't gotten ill and I've eaten here several times. They have a gluten free menu and wait-staff are well- informed. Unfortunately, this location is now closed, as of Sept. 2018

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.”

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff is knowledgeable and the food is amazing.

Consistently delicious and safe! I've never had a problem with gluten at any Old Spaghetti Factory location.

Celiac friendly?

No

Have gotten sick here twice - do not go during busy times!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Wonderful options of gluten free. Food is delicious and I’ve never had a problem. One of my favorite places to go.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

I used to love coming here but I got sick last time I ate here. There is a gluten free menu but they say they cannot prevent cross contamination. The broccoli is not on the GF menu due to them boiling it in pasta water. I don’t think I will be returning due to our last experience which is disappointing.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great food and the waiter was knowledgeable. FYI the broccoli is blanched in the same water as the regular pasta.

This location is better than others on their attention to detail.

Service was really good. The food was decent. Nothing spectacular but good. Not a ton of gf options.

Celiac friendly?

No

The staff were knowledgeable about what could be made gluten free but the food was horrible! Even the other people at my table that were eating gluten containing foods thought so. I was glutened, most likely by cross-contamination, which I knew was likely at an Italian restaurant. This place has really gone downhill though!!! We will not go back!

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.

The Gluten Free pasta was nothing to write home about. They do have a small”Gluten Friendly” menu. My meal did come with a side salad and desert all for less than $15. The atmosphere is nice and the Servers are great!

I ordered the GF pasta with browned butter and just an hour after eating, I was struck with debilitating pain in my abdomen. GLUTENED. This was one of my favorite restaurants too, but they sent me to the hospital and I can’t take that risk again.

great service, we have eaten here over 5 times and my daughter has never been sick and they are great at understand how serious it is for her :)

They definitely have options for GF so you won't go hungry but the food overall wasn't very good honestly. Atmosphere and service is nice. Appreciate the effort of the accommodation, always.

I appreciate there being a gluten free option here as our two favorite family owned Italian restaurants don’t have any😕

Celiac friendly?

No

I was given a few gluten noodles in my gluten free dish. I was sick for days ;-(

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I give 4 stars because I felt perfectly safe eating there, but to be honest the food was pretty mediocre (would give three stars if we were only talking about quality). I got the alfredo with chicken which came with a side salad and a small ice cream dessert for about $17 so decent value. Family friendly establishment.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free pasta and meat sauce tested gluten free on my Nima Sensor!
