2020 Spirit of Marin Award

The Sausalito Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce Angelino Restaurant as its 2020 Business of the Year Honoree for its incredible resilience and hard work to continue serving the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. When the pandemic hit Marin County, the Ancona family had to pivot their two businesses — Angelino Restaurant and CIBO Bakery — by safely combining their staff and operating both businesses from one location. Within the first few weeks of the Shelter in Place order, sisters-in-law Teresa and Tera Ancona ran CIBO Bakery as a drive-through during the day and then returned to Angelino Restaurant in the evening to assist with take-out and delivery orders. Eventually, the Ancona family made the decision to begin operating both CIBO Bakery and Angelino Restaurant out of the Angelino Restaurant location on Bridgeway. Tera and Alfredo would bake and transport their breads, pastries, and goodies to Angelino Restaurant to serve as a bakery from morning until noon, and then the family would turn Angelino’s back to a dinner take-out venue in the evenings.
