The Old Spaghetti Factory's longtime outpost in Rancho Mirage is shutting its doors, ending the run of a family-style Italian spot that has drawn diners to the Highway 111 corridor for years. The restaurant is located at 71-743 Hwy 111, Suite A, in Rancho Mirage.
News of the closure was first reported by The Desert Sun, which published a report Wednesday titled “Rancho Mirage's The Old Spaghetti Factory is closing. Here's what to know.” The outlet's coverage confirmed the closure of the Coachella Valley location but did not specify a timeline for when the restaurant will serve its last plate of spaghetti.
Beyond confirming the closure itself, specifics remain thin. The exact closure date has not been verified, and the reason behind the shutdown has not been disclosed in reporting on the matter so far. It's also unclear whether the company has notified employees or regular customers of next steps, or whether any plans exist for the Rancho Mirage space once the restaurant vacates.
A Family-Owned Chain With Coachella Valley Roots
The Old Spaghetti Factory bills itself as a family owned and operated Italian restaurant chain that traces its founding back to Portland, according to the business's own Facebook page. The Rancho Mirage location's page shows 1,672 likes, 17,021 check-ins marked as “were here,” and eight people talking about the business at the time of this report, reflecting a steady base of regulars who've made the spot part of their routine over the years.
For now, the restaurant's address remains listed as active on its official location page, with no public indication yet of a wind-down sale or farewell event. Diners hoping for a final visit, or answers about what comes next for the space, will have to wait for further details to emerge.
What Comes Next
As it stands, the closure leaves a notable gap in Rancho Mirage's restaurant scene along Highway 111, a stretch known for its mix of longtime eateries and newer arrivals. Hoodline will continue to follow this story as more information becomes available about the timeline and reasoning behind the shutdown.
