Court Avenue's Crime Perception Forces Spaghetti Works Closure.

Spaghetti Works, one of the first major Court Avenue restaurants in Des Moines, has permanently closed after 45 years due to a shift to more stay-at-home downtown office workers and the perception of crime in the area. The owners blame the pandemic slowdown and the changing times. The city of Des Moines hopes to revitalize the Court Ave. district and change people's mindset. Spaghetti Works is considering selling its space to a future business, possibly another restaurant.

Des Moines' Spaghetti Works closes after 45 years, citing safety concerns.

The Old Spaghetti Works, a restaurant in the Court Avenue District of downtown Des Moines, closed after 45 years of serving up pasta, citing a loss of business during the pandemic and a perception of danger in the area. However, the Des Moines Police Department says crime in the district is down in recent years and on pace to be down again this year, and that preserving the safety of those who live, work, and socialize in the neighborhood has always been a priority. Spaghetti Works employees themselves did not express any concerns about safety at the restaurant.
