The Old Spaghetti Factory is closing

by

On June 19th, one of the best spaghetti places in LA is going to be closing it’s doors and will eventually become part of a local project which will result in 38,000 sq. feet of office space, 125 condos, and 10,000 sq. feet of retail locations.

This marks just another Hollywood landmark being torn down, along with the Tiki Bar, and Trader Vic’s which met their end not too long ago.

Sales for the first night were considered a “complete bust” at $171.80, but the Old Spaghetti Factory only got better from there on. Within the week, the store was making $900 a night, and by the end of the year, had reached $400,000. By 1970, owner Guss Dussin started two more restaurants with the same name, and today, The Old Spaghetti Factory has become an international restaurant that serves over 10 million customers a year.

When the Hollywood location closes down on June 19th, there will still be 5 more So. Cal locations, including Duarte, Riverside, and Fullerton, but the Hollywood location will be sorely missed by many.

I highly recommend checking this place out if you already haven’t, and going at least one last time before it’s too late.

The Old Spaghetti Factory is located at 5939 Sunset Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028.
