Restaurant Kudos: The Old Spaghetti Factory

I'm going to go a different direction with today's post because I feel it is important to highlight restaurants that are Celiac friendly. I enjoy eating at restaurants but you have to be extremely careful because of cross-contamination.

I have had the hardest time finding a GF pasta that doesn't have the texture or consistency of paste. My husband and I have always enjoyed eating at The Old Spaghetti Factory. I learned of their GF menu before I was diagnosed. After the diagnosis, we decided to give them a try. After talking with the server, they dedicate a special area of their kitchen that is dedicated to gluten-free products only. The water they boil the pasta is never shared with regular pasta. Their delicious house creamy pesto dressing is also gluten-free.

Before diagnosis, I would ALWAYS get the browned butter and mizithra cheese spaghetti. Lucky for me, they offer the same dish with a GF pasta. The pasta is divine. I let my husband try it and he was so impressed. You really can't find anything wrong with it. The texture is excellent and the pasta holds up well. It is a rotini style pasta but it still works well with the butter and mizithra.

My kudos to The Old Spaghetti Factory for their dedication to be mindful of gluten but still provide a delicious, quality meal. Do you have a favorite restaurant that is Celiac friendly and delicious? If so, leave a comment and let me know! The Old Spaghetti Factory does have nation-wide locations so if you live outside of Utah you can still give them a try.
