Construction is scheduled to start this spring on a new 320-seat Italian restaurant in Sherwood.

The Old Spaghetti Factory, based in Portland, is in the pre-planning stage to open its fifth restaurant in Oregon at Parkway Village, a large retail development off of Southwest Langer Farms Parkway, said Ryan Durrett, a spokesman for OSF International Inc. The project is expected to create 50 construction jobs.

Old Spaghetti Factory officials have long sought to open a location in Sherwood because the city seems like a good fit for the family-friendly restaurant, Durrett said.

鈥淭he personality of the community is something we’ve always liked and been interested in,鈥� he said.

The Sherwood restaurant will occupy 8,500 square feet in Parkway Village’s northeastern corner along Langer Farms Parkway, just east of Tualatin-Sherwood Road. Construction of the first 20 acres of the planned 45-acre Parkway Village development is nearly complete, said Dianne Danowaski Smith, spokeswoman for Tualatin-based Gramor Development.

The Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant, scheduled to open this fall, will join 13 tenants already operating at Parkway Village; they include restaurants, retailers and dental clinics.
