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.

Services

Lorenzo's services can easily be divided into their legitimate operations (Upstairs) and their shadow services (Downstairs).

Legitimate Services (Upstairs)

  • Fine Italian - The ground floor contains the reception area, bar, kitchen and two wings of patron dining. Chef and Pasticcere
  • Dedicated Bar - House brews and Sommelier
  • Reception and Dining Space - There are two wings of patron dining on the ground floors and a large open area on the second floor that is normally open for patron dining, but can be roped off for large receptions. Wedding parties are common.
  • Wine Bank and Merchant - Lorenzo's sommelier has long offered fine wines to its patrons, both for enjoyment and investment. They will also store the purchased wine in their underground vaults for a small fee. The wine vaults take up most of the basement level (dry storage taking up the rest) and use age-old techniques for preserving the fermented gold within.

Shadow Services (Downstairs)

  • Secure Meeting Facilities - Six secure rooms named after extinguished vintages of famous wines
  • Escrow Agent -
  • Shadow Bank - Banker, moneychanger and tiny storage
