Staff at Da Nico Italian Restaurant have been praised for their quick-thinking actions after a customer suffered a stroke moments after walking through the door.
The incident occurred earlier this week at the popular eatery, known for its welcoming atmosphere and traditional cuisine. As the customer entered, he suddenly collapsed, prompting immediate action from the restaurant team.
A spokesperson for Da Nico said:
“A customer suffered a stroke the minute he walked in. We began CPR immediately, and then the ambulance paramedics took over once they arrived. We wish him a speedy recovery, and hope our response helped.”
The restaurant’s prompt response likely played a crucial role in ensuring the man received life-saving treatment in the critical first few minutes.
Customers and local residents have taken to social media to commend the staff for their efforts, calling them “heroes” and “a credit to the community.”
Emergency services have not yet released an update on the man’s condition, but early intervention in stroke cases is often vital in reducing long-term effects.
The team at Da Nico added they were grateful for the support and kind words and remain hopeful for the customer’s full recovery.
