Senate Resolution No. 1972

BY: Senator GRIFFO

        COMMENDING Spressos Coffee House & Eatery upon the
        occasion of celebrating its 15th Anniversary

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this Legislative Body to recognize
illustrious culinary establishments which have positively  impacted  and
substantially contributed to the vitality of their communities; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commend  Spressos Coffee House & Eatery upon the occasion of celebrating
its 15th Anniversary; and

  WHEREAS, A landmark within its community, Spressos  Coffee  House  &
Eatery,  located  in the Community Bank Building on Griffiss Park in the
City of Rome, New York,  is  one  of  the  area's  most  well-known  and
respected restaurants; and

  WHEREAS,  Shortly  after the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York City,
Lorie  Guerrieri  started  the  Small  Batch  Cookie  Company,  a  small
home-based business; after about a year, she realized there was no place
in Rome to enjoy a good cup of coffee with an equally delicious dessert;
and

  WHEREAS,  On May 4, 2005, Lorie and Mario Guerrieri founded Spressos
Coffee House & Eatery on James Street in Rome, New York; on  October  3,
2007,  they  opened  a second location at 160 Brooks Road; in January of
2011, the original location was closed and the couple focused  on  their
Griffis Park coffeehouse; and

  WHEREAS,  Since  its  inception,  Spressos Coffee House & Eatery has
been serving customers of Rome and the surrounding area with fine  foods
and   handcrafted   espresso   drinks,   made  with  top-quality,  fresh
ingredients; they also believe in using natural products which are  kind
to the environment and truly make their drinks taste better; and

  WHEREAS,  In  addition  to  their  creative  menu,  Lorie  and Mario
Guerrieri offer exceptional, old-fashioned customer service; they always
greet each and every customer with a smile, and take the time  to  learn
their names and favorite recipes; and

  WHEREAS,  Spressos  Coffee House & Eatery accepts online orders, and
offers a special catering service for business and small private events,
an  in-shop  cooler  stocked  with  grab-and-go  food  items   such   as
sandwiches, yogurts and quarts of soup; and

  WHEREAS,  The  success  of  Spressos is in direct correlation to the
efforts of its  staff,  whose  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 institution and the community it serves; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  with  great  pleasure  that  this Legislative Body
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
commend Spressos Coffee House & Eatery upon the occasion of  celebrating
its 15th Anniversary; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Lorie and Mario  Guerrieri,  co-Owners,  Spressos  Coffee
House & Eatery.
