Maria Simonetti sat at a table in her family’s new Punta Gorda pizzeria, cradling her cell phone in one hand, massaging her rotator cuff with the other.
“I’m on hold. I’ve been trying to get an appointment for my shoulder,” she explained. “It’s just the three of us working right now. We had somebody apply to do dishes for $15 an hour, but they said, ‘It has to be on my terms, on days I want to work.’”
Sal, Maria and Lucia Simonetti are running Santa Lucia Pizzeria in Punta Gorda by themselves for now.
