Why would owning a restaurant indicate that Phil is out of the life? I would venture to say that the majority of active mobsters do own and actively operate restaurants and/or bars. It's a heavy cash flow business and thus a great way to launder dirty money. For instance, Patsy Parello who we've been talking about for a while now owns his own restaurant (Patsy's Rigoletto) on Arthur Ave, actively manages it and I've also not only gives interviews with regards to his restaurant but I've even seen video interviews of him on YouTube so I don't think I'd rule Phil Narducci out of the life just because he's opened a restaurant that is getting decent media coverage/hype. As Tony Soprano said "I keep telling these guys, you need to show legitimate income".
