End of an Era: Old Spaghetti Works Closes Des Moines Location After 45 Years.
The Old Spaghetti Works, a 45-year-old restaurant located on Court Avenue in Des Moines, has permanently closed its doors. The restaurant, known for its hot Italian pie and daily lunch specials, was housed in a converted 19th-century former hat factory. While the Des Moines location has closed, other locations in downtown Omaha and Ralston remain open.
