long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate the 40th Anniversary of Carmella's Cafe in New Hartford, New
York; this momentous milestone was celebrated with a special ribbon
cutting ceremony on Tuesday, April 15, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, Carmella's Cafe, named after owner Mike Ezzo's late wife,
Carmella Ezzo, remains a pillar in its community after four decades of
excellence in cuisine and hospitality; the restaurant's menus pay homage
to Carmella Ezzo, displaying her smiling image on the covers, serving as
a reminder of her countless and meaningful contributions to, and love
for, the enduring business she helped create; and

since its opening on April 15, 1985, Carmella's Cafe showcases a
down-to-earth environment with delicious food, a comfortable bar, and
reliable and consistent service; and

Carmella Ezzo's family's recipes, thusly upholding important family and
cultural traditions and methods, while simultaneously executing
delicious Italian cuisine which the cafe has become renowned for; and

 WHEREAS, Carmella's Cafe offers homemade marinara, spaghetti,
alfredo sauce, and chicken riggie sauce to go along with the delicious
handmade pasta that the restaurant has become known for; and

 WHEREAS, The remarkable success of Carmella's Cafe is due in large
part to its owner, Mike Ezzo, along with his expert and caring staff
whose warmth and hospitality is easily recognized by loyal patrons; this
dynamic business is well-versed in customer service and truly makes
everyone who walks through their door feel like family; 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
