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.
Hello very nice experience with a few types of sauce that can be put over gluten friendly rigatoni. However, this is not something they particularly focus on so there was some cross contamination in the kitchen somewhere. Fighting my stomach now.
You wouldn’t think a place called the spaghetti factory would have a gluten free menu, but they do.
Plenty of options to choose from.

Server was knowledgeable food was ok. Didn’t get sick- I’m super sensitive
No gluten free menu but our waiter was very knowledgeable. There is one type of gluten free pasta that is cooked separately but there are many sauces to choose from - I had the Alfredo with clams and it was delicious. You can get a protein - chicken or Italian sausage if you want. The meatballs are not gluten free. There is a meat sauce that they said was gluten free but I wasn’t comfortable ordering it. Nice evening and delicious food.
We went there a few days ago and I order chicken and mushroom Alfredo with the gluten free pasta.
I wanted broccoli and was informed that the broccoli is boiled with the normal pasta!! I had ordered broccoli at another location a few months before luckily without a reaction. But the waiter at that location obviously didn’t understand cross contact, because it was not mentioned. The waitress did confirm by calling the other location, that they cook their broccoli the same at all locations, so I know that not all staff across all the locations understand cross contact.
So don’t order the broccoli!!
The Alfredo is made with rice flour, so it is Gluten free!
I confirmed all this information multiple times.
They did bring out a plate to me that looked like normal pasta (actually looked like Alfredo noodles)- so I asked if it was actually GF and they weren’t sure so they took it back. Found out they had accidentally sent it out to me.
They then sent out my gluten free pasta and it is a fusilli shaped pasta.
They also put a little flag in your pasta to indicate that it is gluten free.
The waitress was knowledgeable enough about GF, and I’m glad she was aware of the kitchen practices for the restaurant.
Days later and I’ve had no reaction. I usually react within 24 hours.
The gluten free pasta is NOT truly gluten free as of 03/06/2025.
Went here for a family dinner and was told the gluten free noodles are also cooked in a the same water as the regular pasta. I told the waiter that I appreciated the honesty!
I ordered a large broccoli, whole seasoned chicken breast, and a side of Alfredo sauce. Did not feel sick afterwards and the food was surprisingly pretty good.
Gluten free pasta is delicious! No cross contamination first time eating there. Ordered exact same meal second time and got sick. Could have been change in servers mid meal that might have been unaware of gluten allergy or protocol. Will try again in future and be clear with each new server or encounter.
