At 2:00 this afternoon, there was a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Racaltos Restaurant on Seneca Road North, Hornell. Owners Joe and Jay Huang-Racalto were joined by Mayor John Buckley, Fr. Stan Kacprzak, Heather Lisi and several others were on hand.
The doors to Racaltos officially open at 4:00pm today. Racaltos is located in the longtime Club 57 building.
“Our dedication to the community and to each of our patrons is unwavering. We embarked on this venture with a long-standing desire to establish our own restaurant and bar. Hornell and the surrounding communities have consistently shown us kindness, and we are committed to reciprocating that generosity. We understand the importance of giving back. All first responders and military will be given a permanent 10% discount – it’s our way of thanking them for their selfless service. Overtime, as we build, our mission will be expanded to help all agencies that help animals and charities in the community. While striving for excellence, we acknowledge our humanity and the inevitability of errors along the journey. We recognize the value of your hard-earned money, acknowledging that dining out is a luxury. As we lay the foundation of our business, we humbly request your patience. Our aim is not only to excel but also to instill a sense of pride within the community – within you.”
