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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
