The family behind six Old Spaghetti Factory franchises in the greater Sacramento region and the Bay Area has purchased four more of the family-style Italian restaurants, all in California.

The Dariotis family of Sacramento on Wednesday said it had acquired the restaurants from OSF International Inc., based in Portland, Ore., for an undisclosed price. The restaurants are in Fresno, Rancho Cucamonga, San Jose and San Marcos.

Chris Dussin, president of OSF, and the Dariotis brothers – Chris, George and Michael Jr. – are cousins whose fathers partnered in 1969 to open the original Old Spaghetti Factory in Portland. The Dariotis family moved to Sacramento and in 1978 opened California's first Old Spaghetti Factory franchise.

In a press release, Chris Dariotis called the purchase "a family sale" that was more attractive than building new restaurants from the ground up.

OSF International has 38 outlets in the United States, including the 10 franchises run by the Dariotis family and 14 overall in California.
