I know that Genovese captain patsy parello had a restaurant on Arthur ave and operates from there
Look at my post above yours. Rigoletto is his wife's pride and joy. It ain't a hangout. Never has been, never will be. But maybe you heard something in Manchester that I missed living in the Bronx for the past 54 and a half years.
According to this article from 2001 mob business was conducted in the restaurant . At least then.
"Big Frankie foiled the robbery with information he passed to the police. During his undercover operation he was a regular visitor to Patsy's Rigoletto restaurant in the the Bronx, where much Genovese business was done. "
Now I'm not saying it is a mob hangout as such but it definitely would appear more mob business is done and dealt with there then might be on the surface. Just my opinion and if I took what you were saying out of context then I apologize.
