Speziale, owner of Italian restaurant Ciao Osteria in Centreville’s Centrewood Plaza, was recently honored with a plaque from the Sully District Police Station. It was “in appreciation for [his] outstanding support” of the station and its Citizens Advisory Committee. “He donates gift cards to our Officers of the Month,” said Owens, the station’s assistant commander. “And in December, he hosted a free lunch for an entire [police] squad.”
