I visited The Old Spaghetti factory last night and was not disappointed! This was the second location I had been to and the quality of the food was exactly the same. This location uses GF rigatoni (at least right now) - the only rigatoni they use at the restaurant, which always makes me feel reassured. They have a GF menu that clearly shows the variety of sauces, toppings etc. that are safe, and how to order them. Our servers were very knowledgeable and took it very seriously. They use a clean pot and water for the pasta and it comes out with a flag. However my favorite part is always the spumoni ice cream! Writing this review from the next day and no reaction or issues, and I am very sensitive to CC. I would go back if I was staying in town longer.

We had dinner here last night and it was awesome. Entire section of the menu is all GF options and server was super knowledgeable and cautious. Definitely recommend!

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.

It's a corn and rice based spiral pasta which costs $.99 more and can be had with 4 or 5 different sauce choices. Our pasta came out with a little flag in the middle indicating the GF pasta. We had the browned butter and mizithra cheese sauce, and were quite pleased.

It was delicious, but I was poisoned on New Years Eve!!!! Make sure you are very thorough in your instructions to make sure you don't get cross contaminated.

I went with s huge group of people. I love OSF but this is the first time I'd been with gluten allergies. The server gave me info on some GF choices and they have a nice GF menu. I got the Mizithra cheese and brown butter with GF pasta. Was very yummy. I ordered a side of chicken breast that was on the GF menu. I ate it but thought it may have had a light bread batter, looked like skin though. When I got the bill it said breaded chicken so I'm not sure now. Hadn't had any problems though. Just be sure to check, especially when they are busy.

Decent GF selection, the wait staff seemed pretty informed about allergens and the pasta dish came out with a little flag clearly marking it GF

GF options are good. I seem to have had a mild reaction eating here once but that may have been from dairy (cheese) which I'm sensitive to.

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.

They only take it seriously if you say you need them to switch the water, but I still got glutened even though I asked them to. Would not recommens for those with celiac.
