| Spaghetti House is one of the 11 restaurants to be found in London. Established in 1955 by when two talented Northern Italians - Lorenzo Fraquelli and Simone Lavarini - opened their first, now famous Spaghetti House in London's Goodge Street.
It was the culmination of a seven-year dream for Lorenzo and Simone, who had first met at Bar Italia in Soho's Frith Street (then called Bianchi) in 1948. In the ensuing years, Lorenzo worked at the original Quaglino's in London and Simone in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he qualified as Maître d'H in 1950. Simone returned to London and secured a position at the Savoy Hotel.
Spaghetti House has kept its original concept of high quality, reasonably priced food and wine served in a friendly and family environment.
Spaghetti House's motto, which still holds good today, was a simple one - 'spaghetti, but not on toast!'
