Mayor Patrick Keefe joined city officials and residents in welcoming Revere resident Raffaele Scalzi to the Shirley Avenue neighborhood at the ribbon cutting ceremony for his brand new Koro Ramen and Sushi Restaurant.
Keefe personally congratulated Raffaele, who was joined by his father, Alberto, and the staff for the momentum occasion.
Koro becomes part of the continuing resurgence of the Shirley Avenue neighborhood that features new residential properties and businesses that have brought vibrancy and energy to the area while providing excellent dining and shopping opportunities.
