Gov. Baker Delivers Press Conference from Ristorante Saraceno | Eater Boston

"This North End restaurant served as the backdrop for a gubernatorial press briefing, where Gov. Charlie Baker stood alongside owner Frank Pezzano to applaud the state’s small-business relief program and announce the most recent round of grants (1,595 businesses receiving $78.6 million as part of a larger $191 million effort). Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito praised the establishment as a 35-year-old, family-run business — noting that Pezzano’s wife, daughter and son are all involved — and characterized it as exactly the kind of neighborhood institution the state wants to help weather the pandemic and reopen more fully. The restaurant was presented as emblematic of the North End’s communal memory and local character during the crisis." - Terrence Doyle
