Summary

Lorenzo's is a very fine Italian restaurant in the Beverley Park neighborhood of Everett that also provides several special services to the shadow community.

Sponsorship

Lorenzo's is neutral territory sponsored by the Ciarnelli Family of the Seattle Mafia. The Ciarnelli's provide protection from the other large criminal and shadow factions in return for a steep discount for the Family on their shadow services, and sometimes a small discount on their legitimate services.

Lorenzo's has their own service force embedded within the staff and there are usually enough made Ciarnelli's and associates present for the food to at least double the security force at anytime with ad hoc response teams arriving within 5-10 minutes from the nearby casinos.

The restaurant and staff are respected by Ciarnelli soldiers and associates for the services provided to the family (and the food), though they know enough to keep their language coded until they know which employees are truly clued in. Members of other factions can often be found enjoying the neutrality and food, though the dress code is firmly enforced.

Lorenzo's neutrality is secondarily enforced by its own clientele. While the Ciarnelli Family and associates are their largest block of customers, they are far from their only customers. There are plenty of individuals from other factions who use Lorenzo's services and no one wants to hit the bank that holds your stash, or your boss's.
