Spaghetti House, which is owned by Lavval Group, celebrated its 70th birthday last year, has shuttered its five restaurants having appointed Asher Miller and Stephen Katz of BTG Begbies Traynor as joint administrators on 6 May.
Founded by Simone Lavarini and Lorenzo Fraquelli on London’s Goodge Street in 1955, Spaghetti House has closed its five remaining restaurants, all located in the capital, in Marble Arch, Carnaby Street, Oxford Street, Kensington High Street and Cranbourn Street.
The original Goodge Street restaurant closed late last year.
At its peak Spaghetti House operated around 12 restaurants in the capital. In 2024 Lavval Group also opened A Braccetto in Earl’s Court, which it described as a ‘next gen’ neighbourhood Italian restaurant, but has since closed.
A statement on the Spaghetti House website reads: “We’re sorry all our restaurants are now closed. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our loyal customers, partners, and team members, past and present, for your support over the years.”
Miller says that despite efforts to save the business, soaring operational, employment, energy and tax costs had forced the directors to make the decision to enter administration.
