Cugini’s has built their reputation by providing friendly, professional service and quality products to both public and commercial customers. Floral design styles and techniques have changed through the years and Cugini’s staff stays current so they can continue to provide fresh � owers, beautifully designed that last longer.
Cugini’s selection of � owers includes all the “everyday” varieties and seasonal blooms sourced from the USA, South America and Canada and exotic � owers ship directly from Hawaii.

Renton TransmissionCOMPLETE DRIVE TRAIN REPAIR
A lot of transmission shops have come and gone in Renton during the past 27 years, our shop has remained successful because of our quality and integrity. We make all repairs as if our own family member will be driving the car. We also stand behind our work 100% or more. On the rare occasions that someone has a problem we do our best to make it right. Sometimes that means honoring a warranty that may be expired or simply taking into account that something should have not failed. I also only employ people I can trust to work on my own car. I see work that comes from other shops and I need to know that everything that leaves our shop is done correctly!

Santiago PotencianoVINO RISTORANTE
I worked for Italian restaurants since 1998 while I was pursuing a engineering degree in electronics. I had the pleasure to work along Salvatore Lembo, owner of Firenze restaurant in Bellevue, from whom I learned about wines and Italian food. Throughout the years we developed a very good friendship and we became as family, so we decided to take on the adventure of opening Vino Ristorante. I have been to Italy and tried their lovely cuisine and have learned Italian in the process, I have also traveled to South America and several other parts of Europe such as Spain and France.
We specialize in northern Italian cuisine. Delicious homemade pastas such as gnochi, fettuccine and ravioli. But everyone loves our spaghetti Bolognese. Our veal piccata is to die for and we run specials every day such as pork chops, steaks and fresh seafood. The wine list is mainly Italian but we also carry several local wines. We also have a private room than can accommodate up to 40 people for special events. In addition we invite winemakers and we host 5 course wine dinners for those who like to know more about all the different types of wines from Italy and the rest of the world. Our dining room is very cozy and romantic to impress that special someone.
The house was built in 1937 by George W. Custer and belonged to Dan McGovern, according to the Renton museum. We kept the original structure so, it looks like a house from the outside but the interior is very comfortable with hardwood � oors and Tuscan style decor. It is a two story building and the upstairs is used to host private events. There is also a lovely patio on the front side of the house that is open summer time for those who enjoyed outdoor seating.

Derek SimonsenSOUTH LAKE EUROPEAN
My name is Derek Simonsen. I am the owner of Renton’s premier service and repair dealer alternative - South Lake European Independent service and repair for BMW, Mini, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, VW and Land Rover vehicles. I started my business with the goal of providing a level of service offered no where else that I’ve seen in the 25 years I’ve been in this business. Our service is based on honesty, integrity and mutual trust. Our goal at South Lake
European is to have our customer’s safe and educated on their vehicles current condition and to be made aware of up coming repair items needed. It is our duty and our obligation to let you know what service is due and to help you prioritize it. We’ve developed a legendary system offered nowhere else to help with all the complicated needs of the complex vehicles of today. I enjoy the interaction with our customers and spending the extra time getting to know them. Taking the time to ask what their expectations are when it comes to service and repair. After all...how can you meet or exceed one’s expectations if you don’t know what they are? We take the extra time with each and every one of our customers to do just that.
All customers of South Lake European have my personal cell phone number and I’m available 24/7 for our customers! We act as a concierge service for our customers. A big bene� t of being in the business so long is I know all the companies that will treat our customer with the respect and care our customers deserve! From being stuck on the side of the road with a vehicle that doesn’t run to needing window tint, or dent repair etc… we can take care of all of it for you. Our customers are very happy with this level of customer service.
The service equation is simple – we keep it simple and based entirely around honesty. At times you might not like the information you hear about your vehicles needs but, you’ll
be sure you will get it and get it in a straight and orderly fashion.Personally I have very high expectations and standards when I go to a service related
business because that is the business I’ve been in for so long. I know how it should be. Sadly, I’m very often disappointed with the service level in today’s age. When I began the
journey creating South Lake European I knew that � nally I could create the ultimate service experience. I’ve listened to many customers that have come in saying “It’s just so hard to � nd a shop that cares and that doesn’t make you spend a lot of money � xing your car with repairs that don’t seem to be needed or they don’t take the time to explain what’s really wrong with the car.” So, at my shop our rule is simple “If you can’t show you can’t sell.” If you desire we would be more than happy to bring you into our shop to show you and explain exactly what is in need of repair… not only will we show you but, we’ll help you prioritize the repair needs. I am a family man with a loving wife by my side and a 6-1/2 year old son that is the light of our life. So, from my family to yours I hope to be your one and only service and repair facility for your European vehicle.
