Popular, traditional treasure Queen Restaurant is BCC milestone member under Scissura
Last week the popular Queen Restaurant, founded in 1958 by the late chef Anthony Vitiello, was honored as the 1,000th new member of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce under its President and CEO, Carlo Scissura.
“This is a milestone,” said Scissura, “because Queen is an institution, a traditional second generation business that recognizes how the Chamber of Commerce is leading Brooklyn businesses into the 21st century.”
In a celebratory luncheon hosted by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Chef Pasquino Vitiello was presented with a plaque by Scissura and Citibank executive Denise Arbesu, who serves as chair of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. Also attending the luncheon were the Chamber’s Rick Russo, senior VP and chief-of-staff and Joseph Shaia, VP for member services.
