Spaghetti Warehouse combines Old World Italian traditions with American abundance in hearty, made-from-scratch dishes. A festive atmosphere, large seating capacity and more than 22 locations in nine states, including one in Pittsburgh, make Spaghetti Warehouse locations ideal for family celebrations and group gatherings. In 1972, the first Spaghetti Warehouse opened in the old warehouse district of downtown Dallas. Victor Petta Jr. created hearty, made-from-scratch favorites by combining recipes handed down through generations of the Petta family with American abundance. Chef Victor also invented the company s patented system for cooking pasta to create perfect al dente pasta every time. The Spaghetti Warehouse is a part of Consolidated Restaurant Operations, which operates brands in several states: The Spaghetti Warehouse, El Chico, Good Eats, Cantina Laredo, Lucky’s Caf , Silver Fox Steakhouse, III Forks Steakhouse and Cool River Cafe.
