long-standing  traditions,  this  Legislative  Body  is  justly proud to
commemorate the 70th Anniversary of Alteri's Restaurant; and

large  part  to  its  generations  of  owners,  including John and Laura
Alteri, John's  son  and  daughter-in-law,  Fernando  and  Beverly,  and
current  owner,  Fran  Alteri,  their dedicated staff, whose warmth, and
hospitality are easily recognized by their loyal patrons;  this  dynamic
business is well-versed in customer service and truly makes everyone who
walks through their door feel like family; and

Laura Alteri, the  restaurant  remained  under  their  management  until
John's passing in 1960; and
 
  WHEREAS,  The  restaurant  was rebuilt after a fire in 1963, and the
family-owned business tradition was then passed to John Alteri's son and
daughter-in-law, Fernando, and Beverly, until 1998; and
 
  WHEREAS, Today,  third-generation  owner  Fran  Alteri  manages  his
family's  warm,  home-style restaurant and seasoned bar, bringing people
together with their famous pizza, pasta, sandwiches, soup,  beer,  wine,
and spirits; and
 
  WHEREAS,   The   staff's   involvement  is,  and  always  has  been,
characterized by an impressive commitment, an unbridled enthusiasm,  and
an  uncompromising  standard of excellence in all endeavors on behalf of
the business and the community it serves; and
 
  WHEREAS, For seven decades,  Alteri's  Restaurant  has  stood  as  a
beloved  establishment  which  has provided a friendly, open environment
for patrons to collectively gather and share their thoughts, ideas,  and
life experiences; and

acknowledges this exceptional business  and  its  contributions  to  the
local  and  State  economies,  fully  confident that it will continue to
enjoy  the  sparkling  successes  it  has  experienced  thus  far;  now,
therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 70th Anniversary of Alteri's Restaurant,  and  to  offer
its best wishes for continued success in all their future endeavors; and
