Iconic Columbus restaurant auctioning off hundreds of antiques after sudden closure

Pasta aficionados and antique collectors alike – there’s an auction just for you happening right now.

Spaghetti Warehouse is auctioning off some iconic antiques from their original, 6,000 square foot space at 397 W. Broad St. to prepare for their move to Downtown Columbus after they had to abruptly close and move due to a roof collapse. Their newest restaurant will incorporate some of the antiques from the former space, but you now have the chance to take home some of the memorabilia for your own home, basement bar, or kitchen, to keep the memories alive.

This online auction can be found here. It started last Sunday, the 5th, but you still have plenty of time to place your bids – November 17th to be exact.
