It bears a little more research, which I will happily be doing in person tonight over a plate of spaghetti bolognese, but The Old Spaghetti Factory chain of restaurants is becoming ever more friendly to the diet-challenged. The iconic eatery, located locally in the old Riverside train depot on Vine, is offering a gluten-free menu. Any of their scrumptious sauces, from marinara to mizithra, are available to top several different variations of gluten free pasta (made from a blend of corn and rice flours).
All red sauces are dairy free and a few dairy free salad dressing options round out the experience. Butter and parmesan cheese are tolerable to some of the lactose intolerant and others can simply refrain. Of course, desserts are still off the table for those needing to go dairy and/or gluten free, but hopefully the future will bring additional friendly menu options. In the meantime, Old Spaghetti Factory seems to be headed in the right direction, taking care in the kitchen to avoid cross contamination and offering dining alternatives. I'll be seeking an interview and more information, so stay tuned!
For now, I'm off to sample the spaghetti...my work is never done!
