Forgive me if this topic has been posted before. I'm just the new guy who thinks Olive Garden is authentic Italian cuisine.

Of course I know of:

Junior Gotti- half Russian-Jew
Tommy DelGiorno- half Polish

Any others of note?

Either or. Actually, the more old school, the better. I know the Full-Blooded-Italian rule was scrapped some time ago.

The particulars made need some correcting but all of these guys were not 100% Italian. Of course, as has been mentioned before, nowadays it's really hard to determine what exactly is 100% Italian anymore. In the mob context, I think it simply means both your father and mother were full Italian - meaning their parents were also full Italian.

Sure does seem the Italians loved their Irish women! Seems they did inter-marry a lot though, one of my Great Uncles went out to California and married a Sicilian woman.

ivy league, I don't understand why you think the gallos are half irish. his father was umberto gallo, who came to the u.s.
from Italy in 1920. his mother was mary gallo, a light blonde Italian,

when joey was young they called him "joey the blonde" but, I never heard his mother was anything but Italian. now the gallos were made in the 1950s by the profacis, would they let a non- Italian in at that time?

The neighborhoods often bordered each other, Dix. Here in New York, anyway. Especially here in the Bronx.

Italian and Polish is also a very common mix because both groups immigrated in masses to the US around the same time period, shared same values (family, faith, hardwork, etc) and then would usually link up through the local Catholic Church....

I've heard that he might not be Italian AT ALL. But I don't know that for a fact.

Best line I ever dropped to a drop dead GORGEOUS Albanian girl who was dressed so sexy with her huge curves hanging out I saw sitting, having her coffee on 45th between 5th and AofA...

Note:(I've never in my entire life seen an Albanian restaurant, let alone even heard of any kind of Albanian dishes)

"Can you please take me to an Albanian restaurant uptown in the Bronx (we were chatting and she had told me she lived in the Bronx), and by an Albanian restaurant I don't mean a pizzeria by your house that's owned by Albanians?"

She was dying laughing, even they think its ridiculous..

In the end, we chatted a little bit via text, but to be honest I am absolutely terrified of Albanian women (she was telling me she was still married but separated to another Albanian guy) and she was older than me and had a 10 year old kid to boot so we never ended up hanging out, there's my sad and pathetic Albanian broad experience!
