MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay\ntribute to Rocco Sacramone, Chef and owner and of Trattoria L'Incontro\nand restaurateur, for his achievements and outstanding devotion to the\nbetterment of the Queens community.\n  Since its opening in 1999, Trattoria L'Incontro has been a staple of\nthe Astoria community. Under the direction of Chef Sacramone and Jack\nBrucculeri, Trattoria L'Incontro quickly became a ``must place'' to\ndine. In 2005 the restaurant was rated as one of the top two Italian\nrestaurants in New York by Zagat, providing the highest level of\nquality and service in a unique setting that reflects Mr. Sacramone's\nhometown in Italy.\n  Despite his tremendous successes, Mr. Sacramone came from humble\nbeginnings. Born in Orsonga, a small town in Abruzzo, Italy, Mr.\nSacramone came to the United States with his family in 1970. At the age\nof 14, Mr. Sacramone began his work in restaurants as a dishwasher in a\npopular Italian restaurant in Queens. Working long hours in the\nkitchen, he rose through the ranks and quickly became manager at Nino's\nRestaurant in Greenwich Village, where he learned the front of house\naspect of the restaurant business.\n  Throughout his career, Mr. Sacramone has received numerous accolades\nfrom the New York Times, Newsday and Timeout. Mr. Sacramone attributes\nmuch of his success to his team and loving family, especially his\nmother Tina who worked alongside him in the kitchen and taught him his\nrespect and love for the art of cooking.\n  Mr. Sacramone continues to be a pillar of his community by devoting\nhis time and support to many local organizations, including Mount Sinai\nHospital of Queens, United Civic Community Association, SHAREing and\nCAREing and L.I.C./Astoria Kiwanis Club. Mr. Sacramone also plans to\ntravel to Italy to help the victims of the recent earthquake.\nAdditionally, his generous, unending support and charity to the Holy\nName Society of St. Francis of Assisi Church makes the ``Taste of\nItaly'' Scholarship fundraiser a tremendous success.\n  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring Mr. Sacramone\nfor his tremendous achievements and continued generosity, dedication\nand support to his community.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2016-12-27-pt1-PgE1739-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9653659071773291, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
