Angelo’s in Burien-51 Years of tradition provided by the Ricci Family

Posted by danita jolly

With so much growth and change in Burien, one thing has stayed the same.  Angelo’s in Burien has grown 10 times in size from when they originally opened as a small Italian deli in 1957.   Local residents can count on the same menu and even the same staff for all these years.  

All of the Ricci kids — Mike, Mark, Ron, Richard, Phil, Kathy, Lisa, Larry and Frank — grew up working in the family business, and most of them still do.

Mark Ricci (above, click on picture for full story) started working at the deli at age 7, when his main job was to keep the cooler full of soda. He’s now manager of Angelo’s in Burien, which has a sister restaurant in Bellevue, as well as a coffee and wine bar, 909 Coffee and Wine, down the street from the Burien restaurant.  It’s not uncommon for the Ricci’s to be on a first name basis with their regulars.  So come be a part of the family!    

909 has some really good news to share! Welcoming a new and talented chef…Tailer Uebelacker.  Specializing in all things edible, you won’t be disappointed!  It must run in the family, Tailer’s mother and father owned an Italian deli when Tailer and her brother Corey were growing up.

And now for the 909 bad news!  We have to say goodbye to our favorite barista and best cheese cake make Corey Uebelacker. 

We will be crying in our coffee for awhile until we can adjust.  I know 909 regulars are going to miss him.  But we are happy for Corey, because he is off to bigger and better things working with his mom, Kim Mazzuca, in the real estate business.  They have a lot on their plate with two huge projects selling.  If you would like to keep up on what they are doing, you can visit them at www.federalwayundressed.com
