Rutherglen Café, Buon Appetito, Celebrates 50 Years

Lodged by Clare Haughey (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the café, Buon Appetito, in Rutherglen, on its 50th anniversary of being a popular fixture within the town’s Mitchell Arcade; understands that current owner, Lee Conetta, took over the running of the café from her parents in 1975 when it moved to its current location, and that it quickly became established as a popular local venue; further understands that Lee had considered selling the café, but that an outpouring of support and affection from the local community led her to have a change of heart and refurbish it, and install a mural to honour her grandfather and the support that he provided to families in Cambuslang and the surrounding area during the miners’ strike; considers that "The Bonny" often welcomes customers from across Scotland and further afield when they return to Rutherglen for a "taste of home", and wishes Lee and the rest of the Buon Appetito team all the very best for their continued success.
