A Brief History...

The Spaghetti Warehouse was founded in 1972 by Robert Hawk. Our first restaurant was built in the old warehouse district of downtown Dallas. Our menu items are from authentic Italian recipes handed down through many generations of the Petta family. Victor Petta Jr., who was the original Executive Chef of The Spaghetti Warehouse, was also the inventor of our patented system for cooking spaghetti.

Our restaurants are all decorated in a nostalgic theme using genuine antiques, stained glass, tiffany type lights, and usually an authentic trolley car forming a dining room within a dining room. In September 1985, the Company went public. Our stock is currently traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Being a publicly held company provides more opportunities for expansion and growth, which in turn creates more opportunities for our employees, many of whom are stock-holders.

Of course, we actually start with a warehouse
