Hi Michael, I have been studying the mafia since I was 10 years old. I don't know how I found your channel but I am so grateful I did. You are an inspiration to many people. I check your channel every day. Most importantly, I am so blessed hearing your testimony about coming to Christ. I love how you stood up to Gravano and defended your faith. You are a blessing and you are living proof that no one is too far gone for redemption. God bless you my brother in Christ

The director of my major (and I became friends w him…Jack Ruebens) advised mayor Buddy Cianci. I suspect a lot of money was laundered through the Rhode Island “credit unions”.

Then got to meet him again at the event and got a signed photo with him. Then the next day, I saw him recording that video he showed at the start of him outside the cavern and got to speak to him again and got another photo. He even remembered me and commented on how we stayed in the same hotel. He was such a nice humble man. Best two days ever getting to meet him so many times, he even went and trained in my friends gym so he’s serious about his excercise 🤣. Thanks again for a great two days Michael 😎

My favourite Italian dining experience was at Visiwa Restaurant in Watamu, North Coast of Kenya. There's a big settler community in Watamu and Malindi beach in Kenya, many of whom were former Mafioso/Ndrangheta fleeing Mussolini's campaign in the 1920's to wipe out Italian organized crime, led by the _prefetto_ Cesare Mori (known as "the Iron Prefect"). If interested, there's a book by Federico Varese called _"Mafia on the Move: How Organized Crime Conquers New Territories"_ . I think it'd make a great series of videos to talk about the spread of Italian O.C past its original strongholds of Naples and Sicily and how government campaigns, regimes/regulations, border changes and immigration policies have fuelled such spread. Just a fun suggestion! Love your work as always!

If you didn't tip the waiters enough, they would actually follow you outside and give you hell in Italian. Che disgrazia!

I remember when I went to umbertos once, I want to own a restaurant in the future so I asked the manager how bad the Joey gallo hit affected the business, he looked at me like I just pissed in my wine glass I’ll never forget his face

Spark's Steak House was a good choice for number one but I thought it would be Joe and Mary's where Carmine Galante met his end. The picture of him lying dead on the ground, cigar still clamped in his mouth is truly iconic.

I’m from Vancouver on the west coast of Canada. Our best Italian restaurant is by far Il Giardino. It’s ran by Umberto Menghi, an award winning chef originally from Italy. If you’re ever in town I highly recommend it Michael! All the best

I've met a whole lot of people in my life. Some of the best of them, were while I was parking cars, at some pretty nice restaurants. The sort of people who treat you with the same respect you give them. No matter your position in life.

Great stuff Michael! But you left out Anthony's Pier-4 in Boston when Whitey Bulger hit Brain Halloran in 1982 in the parking lot. What's funny is the scene with Johnny Depp was filmed on the Lynway in Lynn, Mass at the old Porthole Restaurant; a place I've eaten hundreds of times. Safe travels!

Not to mention the place that first came to mind when i saw this video: On July 12, 1979, Galante was killed just as he finished eating lunch on an open patio at Joe and Mary's Italian-American Restaurant at 205 Knickerbocker Avenue in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

How did you omit the hit on Carmine Galante in Joe and Mary's Italian-American Restaurant in Brooklyn? The image of Galante's body sprawled in the floor with a cigar still in his mouth is one of the most famous of all crime photographs.

Michael, I got a mob movie for you to review....It's called "Oscar" with Sylvester Stallone. It's basically an ode to the screwball slapsticks comedy of the 30's & 40's. I forgot how underrated and funny this movie was until I saw it recently. You should review this movie and as a bonus your good friend Chazz Palminteri is in it and he's absolutely hilarious!!!!.....

This video was by far the creepiest and funniest (though in a sick way, like getting shot in the back for laughing too hard in a restaurant) video that you have ever made Mr. Francese. I listened to it at 75% speed and laughed all of the way through!
