Welcome Back, Old Friend... Crowds turned out to attend the restaurant's grand re-opening more than 30 years after Old Spaghetti Factory first opened in downtown San Diego.
But four years ago, the owners decided to try something new when they transformed the restaurant into Dussini's. During the renovation process, the Old Spaghetti Factory changed back to its original look but that wonderful bar put in upstairs wasn’t removed.
“We got so many calls and people have just continued to ask us to bring the concept back, so we are really doing a little bit of both,” said Chris Dussin of The Dussin Group. “We've got the Old Spaghetti Factory downstairs and the upstairs is now Dussini Loft Bar.”

Every time I watch the news or hear about animals being put down at the local shelters, it makes me sad. I am glad to hear Shepard also supports adopting pets as well. Not only in the last year has he given art to the Obama campaign but helped out on the national Adopt a Pet campaign.
