"Remo Borracchini’s Bakery and Mediterranean Market, beloved by locals for nearly a century, announced it would not reopen after being closed all winter because its cake- and party-focused business collapsed without gatherings during the pandemic." - Eater Staff
"Beloved by locals for nearly a century, Remo Borracchini’s Bakery and Mediterranean Market announced it will not reopen after being closed all winter, with ownership citing the pandemic’s impact and the collapse of gatherings—"Remo Borracchini’s Bakery is known for our wonderful cakes and because of this, we are in the party business," the statement read, noting that without parties the business was devastated. Known for meticulously decorated special-occasion cakes packaged in the familiar pink box with blue calligraphy, the shop also sold pastas, olive oil, sauces, bread, deli meats and other pantry staples; longtime customers recalled buying breadsticks in bulk and butter cookies with sprinkles that helped fuel a passion for baking. The bakery’s history traces back to the early 1920s when the founding family emigrated from Tuscany and Mario Borracchini started baking in his basement before the business landed on Rainier Avenue South in 1939; the shop passed to his sons Dino, Angelo and Remo (who took over fully in 1965), and most recently Remo’s daughters Lisa Desimone, Mimi Norris and Nannette Heye had been running the operation. The closure prompted an outpouring of support online, with the bakery’s Facebook post generating about 2,000 comments and more than 3,000 shares." - Gabe Guarente
"In response to rising COVID cases and Gov. Jay Inslee’s renewed restrictions, I found that Borracchini’s Bakery has announced a temporary closure of all services as part of the wave of restaurants and bakeries pausing operations; outdoor seating and takeout remain allowed statewide while dining rooms must stay closed until at least December 14." - Gabe Guarente
