On April 15th Luciano invited Joe The Boss to lunch at his favorite restaurant Scarpatos(some say the name was Nuova Villa Tammaro) at Coney Island.The owner of the restaurant was an old friend of Masseria's, who knew of the ravenous appetite of Joe the Boss, so he prepared for some special meal.Joe was served with antipasto,lunguine with white clam sauce and a few broiled lobsters.He usualy washed his mouth with a few bottle's of Chianti.For desert,italian pastries stuffed with ice cream followed by 3-4 espressos....as for skinny Luciano he just had one espresso!(maybe cuz he was in a hurry whistle) tongue cool cheers
