The Spaghetti House chain, a cherished family-run Italian restaurant in London, has gone into administration, resulting in the closure of all five of its locations. Founded by Simone Lavarini and Lorenzo Fraquelli in the 1950s, the chain claimed to be London's oldest family-run Italian restaurant, known for pioneering authentic Italian dining at a time when spaghetti was often served from a can. The restaurant entered administration on May 6, 2026, as announced in the London Gazette. Despite its long-standing popularity and a commendable 4.4-star rating on Google, the reasons behind the closure remain undisclosed. The chain expressed its gratitude to loyal customers, reflecting on its legacy of homemade dishes and memorable dining experiences.
