A generous Penticton business owner is once again stepping up to help out workers affected by COVID-19 restrictions.

Don Gigliotti, the owner of Corleone害羞草研究所檚 Pizzeria and Caff猫 D害羞草研究所橧talia, first used his newly opened pizza shop Corleone害羞草研究所檚 to offer free pizza to anyone affected by the first-round of COVID-19 layoffs in 2020.

Now, as B.C. announced restrictions that put an end to indoor dining from March 30 to April 29, Gigliotti has once again offered to help people out.

Gigliotti is offering free coffee and a bag of small biscotti cookies from his newest venture, Caff猫 D害羞草研究所橧talia, to people who may now be facing a temporary layoff or fewer shifts at their restaurant.
