I thought this guy was named Matthew Ianello. This is the place Joe Gallo was shot, right?


The original Umberto's location (where Gallo was shot) was on the corner of Hester and Mulberry (today it's called Da Gennaro). Umberto's moved to the corner of Mulberry and Broome about twenty years ago, and they recently moved again to another spot a little further south on Mulberry (between Hester and Grand). The Bronx location has only been there for about ten years. The food's okay. Matty's nephew Bobby runs the place now.

Re Rao's: Frank Pellegrino isn't with anyone. They use that asshole equal opportunity. His partner Ron (who, unlike Frank, is actually related to the original Rao family by blood) is much more well liked by most everyone.

And Rigoletto isn't a hangout, Sonny. Forget about who owns it. That place is that guy's pride and joy, and he and his wife take great pleasure in running it properly.
