Tony Sopranos Gabagool Sandwich

TONY SOPRANO

Says  "FUCK YOU"

Gabagool !!!

 Mob Guy # 1: “Hey Paulie, I got some Gabagool !!!  Paulie : “Hey you STUPID JERK !”

"GABAGOOL" !!!

This is part of a scene in Francis Ford Coppola’s famed Italian-American mob-movie The Godfather. The scene is during Connie Corleone’s Wedding to Carlo. Paulie and Mob Guy-1 are assigned by Sonny to be guarding the outside of the Corleone Compound from any unwanted intruders (FBI, rival gangs, anybody). Mob Guy # 1 got a couple of Gabagool Sandwiches from one of the cooks preparing the Wedding Banquet for Connie and Don Corleone’s guests at Connie’s Wedding. Paulie and Guy # 1 can’t eat with the guest, but they are hungry. “Hey they’re Italian-American!” And Gabagool will definitely fit the bill. Gabagool, aka Gabagul, or similar, is an Italian Salumi pork-product made from the neck-meat of a pig. There are several variations of the name, including; Capicola (most common), Ham Capicola, Coppa, Capocollo, and Capicollo. “Gabagool” is slang for Capicola? It is not “slang” but Neapolitan dialect that many Italian-Americans use for Capicola, including Tony Sopranos and those real-life guys who don Big Pinky Rings. A Gabagool Sandwich So you wanna make a Gabagool. The preferred sandwich is on Italian Bread or a hero-roll from a great Bread Baker like, Parisi Bakers in New York’s Little Italy. Then you gotta get the Gabagool! You get yourself top-quality Capicola from your favorite Pork Store, Satriale’s if you’re in North Jersey, at Di Palo’s in Little Italy, or Faicco’s if you’re downtown New York and Greenwich Village or at their Brooklyn outpost. You’re gonna want Provolone or Mozz, I prefer Provolone. Get some peppers, Hot Cherry Peppers like Tony, Paulie, and Silvio, or as others like myself, with Roast Sweet Peppers. That’s all you need. To make a Gabagool Sub, you need a good sub roll or crusty Italian-Bread, and Gabagool (Capicola) of course, thin sliced Provolone, and either, Genoa Salami, Mortadella, Prosciutto (Proshoot), or Sopressata if you like. Put the Gabagool, Provolone and any other if any Salumi product on the bottom half of your bread, top with shredded Iceberg Lettuce, add a slice of ripe Tomato, then thin sliced Red Onion, and sprinkle on Salt, Black Pepper, Oregano, Olive Oil, and Red Wine Vinegar and “you’re set!” Set if you don’t want it “Hot.” If you do? Then again, get yourself some Hot Italian Cherry Peppers and throw them. That’s a Gabagool Sub.    If you want just a Gabagool and not a Sub, get a nice smaller roll, some roast red sweet peppers (or Hot), the Capicola, and sliced Provolone. Pile everything on between the bread, and Voila, you’ve got a Gabagool, just like Tony.  Excerpted From SUNDAY SAUCE  by Daniel Bellino Zwicke ...  Available on AMAZON.com   PS … For a great Gabagool Sandwich in New York, go to either Parisi’s Italian Deli in Little Italy, or Faicco’s Italian Specialties (Pork Store) on Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village, for the best Italian Sandwiches on God’s Good Earth!

Lucky Luciano House East Village NYC

 

LUCKY LUCIANO

CHILDHOOD HOME - 265 East 10th Street New York City

This is the childhood home of Italian mobster Charles "Lucky" Luciano.

It is located at 265 East 10th Street in Manhattan, New York.

Luciano was the first official boss of what is now known as the Genovese crime family. Following his rise to power, he established the Commission, which remains the governing body of the Italian-American mafia.

For this reason, he is considered to be the father of modern organized crime in the United States.

His family emigrated from Sicily to the United States when he was just 8 years old.

After arriving in New York, the family settled in East Village, which was a popular neighborhood for Italian immigrants.

Luciano lived at 265 East 10th Street with his parents, Antonio Lucania and Rosalia Capporelli, and his four siblings.

Salvatore Luciano was born in the town of Lercarra Friday, Sicily - November 24, 1897, the same town that Frank Sinatra's father Martino Severino Sinatra was born, as well as Italian Cookbook author Daniel Bellino.

Luciano's parents immigrated to the United States in 1906. The family settled in the Lower East Side of New York City, with young Salvatore and his siblings. Young Salvatore ("Lucky") was 8 years old at the time.

The area was a major enclave of Sicilian and other Southern Italian immigrants at the time. There were 4 famous Italian-American eating establishment in the neighbourhood, of which 2 are still open, and sadly two have recently closed. These places are Lanza's Italian Restaurant on 1st Avenue, DeRobertis's Pasticceria next door, John's of 12th Street, and Venniero's Pastries. John's and Venniero's "Thank God" are both still open, as of this writing in January of 2025.

JOHN GOTTI with Brother PETER

And Two Asscoiates Leaves GIAMBONE'S

After a Classic Italian-American Restaurant Meal

of Baked Clams, Pasta, Sausage & Veal & Peppers

ALTHOUGH legal arguments have long echoed 
down the austere halls of the Criminal Court building 
on Centre Street, many spirited lawyerly discussions 
also occurred a few blocks east, in a dim, shoebox-sized 
Italian restaurant named Giambone. Now, as workers
at Centre Street and other nearby courthouses dig into 
their fall workload, they are discovering that this 
neighborhood fixture is gone.

Located on a narrow stretch of Mulberry Street 
two blocks south of Canal, Giambone, a virtual 
clubhouse for lawyers, judges, cops and defendants 
with a history as rich as its clam sauce, closed its 
doors in June. It was a victim of 9/11 and the 
sluggish economy, which all but eliminated the 
evening dinner crowd.

Originally housed in a marble-floored basement, 
which served it well during Prohibition, the restaurant 
was opened in 1914 by a strapping fellow named 
Italo Susi, who went by the nickname Giambone. 
In 1935, after the upstairs tenant, a Western Union 
office, left, Italo moved his eatery aboveground and, 
along with his son Tony, built the place into a bustling, neighborhood joint.

Within a stone's throw of various courthouses, Giambone 
was a natural choice for people who worked at the 
courthouse or merely visited it from time to time, 
like the mobster John Gotti. Tony Susi, now 82, 
still remembers his introduction to the once-Teflon don.

''The goons came over and said, 'Would you accept 
John Gotti?' I said, 'Of course.' Then they said, 'Would 
you wait on him personally?' So I waited on him. We 
got along pretty well, too. I spoke to him in Italian.'' 
Mr. Gotti ordered the calamari and left a $125 tip.

Over the years, other celebrities passed through, 
including the comedian Pat Cooper, who wanted to kiss 
Mr. Susi upon tasting his Linguine alla Sinatra , a house specialty, and John F. Kennedy Jr., who nursed his wounds 
at Giambone after failing the bar exam for the second time.

But the true lure of Giambone remained its homey 
ambiance. The décor -- rickety tables, taxidermied fish 
on the wall -- was as unfashionable as your grandfather's basement, and nearly as dusty. The menu was varied 
but never fancy. And Mr. Susi, by all accounts a gracious 
host, presided over a cast of regulars that included a fellow named Louie Beans, a struggling lounge singer named 
Detie Baxter, and Louis Martine, a big, garrulous 
prankster.

Asked about the many stunts he pulled at Giambone, Mr. Martine, a retired lawyer, fondly recalled the sweltering 
day he sent two colleagues on a goose chase in search of a Chinese tailor rumored to sell cheap suits. ''By the time 
the guys got back, they were walking swimming pools,'' 
he said with a laugh. ''They were mad as hell.''

There is another reason to mourn Giambone. Except for 
a half-Italian, half-Chinese place next door, it was the 
last Italian restaurant on Mulberry Street below Canal.

Next month the space will reopen as a Chinese furniture 
store, furthering the Asian dominance of an area that, 
according to Mr. Susi, once housed seven Italian restaurants.

Mr. Susi retired in 1990, selling the restaurant to a 
man named Joseph Elias. Bob Jenny, a spokesman 
for New York City Management, the owner of the 
building, said that Mr. Elias informed the company 
last spring that he was closing the struggling business. 
Mr. Elias could not be reached for comment.

For its many former customers, the bottom line is that the restaurant will be missed. ''It's left a hole in the neighbor-
hood,''' said Robert M. Morgenthau, the Manhattan district attorney and a longtime regular. ''Now, we go to Odeon or Forlini's.''
