Frankie Pantangeli The Godfather

 



Michael Gazzo

As Frankie Pantangeli

The GODFATHER

The GODFATHER Part II 


Frank Pentangeli is a fictional character from the 1974 film The Godfather Part II, portrayed by Michael V. Gazzo. Gazzo was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance, which he lost to Robert De Niro, his co-star from the same film (as young Vito Corleone). He is nicknamed "Frankie Five Angels" from his last name, which is formed from the Greek-derived prefix penta- (meaning "five") and the Italian word angeli ("Angels").






Noel Quotes lines from Francis Ford Coppola's

The GODFATHER

This is my brother-in-law Noel quoting lines from
The Godfather, and making some quite funny Satirical Humor.

He delivers some lines from the movie, but in a very funny way
as opposed to the seriousness drama of the film.

I was having a nice Sunday afternoon lunch with my sister Barbara and 
brother-in-law Noel (he's a Comedian). We had a memorable lunch at the old Rocco's Restauarant on Thompson Street in Greenwich Village, which sadly closed a few years ago, and now the restaurant Carbone is in the former Rocco's space, and using the old Rocco's neon sigb with Carbone superimposed over where it used to say Rocco's.

Rocco's was a typical old-school Italian restaurant of Greenwich Village, known as
a "Red Sauce Joint." The restaurant was beloved by Italian-American's in the neighborhood, and there was quite an uproar when the people of Rocco's (after 70 years in business) were pushed out by the landlord for the higher rent paying tenants of the Major Food Group to make way for the restaurant Carbone owned by; Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff  Zalaznick who had a successful run with their first two restaurants Torrisi Speciality Foods and Parm.

It's very funny, "Watch It" !!!
