Pius X High School Presents Outstanding Alumni Award to Tony Messineo
On behalf of Pius X High School, Msgr. Liam Barr and Keith May presented the fourth annual Outstanding Alumni Award to Tony Messineo (’59), an owner of Valentino Restaurants, at the Friends of Pius X celebration on August 12.
According to Keith May, who nominated Tony, “Tony’s leadership and treatment of his employees and customers is a testament to his faith. Tony truly takes his faith to work with him and it is very much a part of his day to day efforts.”
A graduate of Pius X and the University of Nebraska, Tony and his brother Ron purchased a local restaurant in Lincoln - Valentino’s – in 1971. The two, along with their cousin, Mike Alesio, who joined them a year later, went on to expand that business and today Valentino’s has expanded to 39 restaurant locations in 6 states.
Brewsky’s Food & Spirits had its 20th Anniversary in August, 2010. Brewsky’s has four locations in Lincoln and two in Omaha. The original Brewsky’s, which opened in August, 1990, is at 16th & South Streets in Lincoln, NE, (just completely remodeled) while the most recent Brewsky’s opened in 2006 at 84th & Park Drive in Omaha, NE.
Brewsky’s was one of the original “sports bars” in this area, and of that bunch probably the last standing with the original ownership still intact. The term “sports bar” has come to be synonymous with a mix of bar and restaurant throughout the entire establishment, where families are comfortable dining in a “bar” atmosphere, with multiple TVs showing multiple sporting events.
