UK Italian Restaurant Chain Falls Into Administration

Administrators shut the chain’s remaining five central London sites and made 101 staff redundant after years of rising costs and difficult trading conditions.

  • Spaghetti House closed all restaurants after Lavval Restaurants Limited entered administration, ending 70 years of service to London customers.
  • Executive Chairman Luigi Lavarini attributed the closure to "years of increasing costs" from the pandemic, Brexit, and "global instability," creating "difficult" conditions for hospitality.
  • All 101 staff members were made redundant as administrators shut the remaining five central London sites, with three locations previously closed in Mayfair, Goodge Street, and Fitzrovia.
  • Lavval Restaurants Limited appointed corporate finance specialist BTG as administrators to manage the controlled wind down, with partner Asher Miller citing the "difficult" decision.
  • Founded by Simone Lavarini and Lorenzo Fraquell in 1955, the family-owned chain expressed "deepest gratitude" to loyal customers and partners for their support over seven decades.
