Restaurants That Were Involved In American Mobster History

Open since 1896, this Italian restaurant in East Harlem, New York has served John Gotti, Al Capone, and "Louis Lump Lump" Barone, who shot a man in the middle of his dinner.

At the entrance of Sparks Steakhouse in Manhattan, "Big Paul" Castellano was shot and killed after John Gotti put a hit out on him to take over the Gambino family.

In 1972 at the former Neapolitan Noodle Restaurant in New York, a hitman shot four innocent men meant to be people associated with the Colombo family.

The Irish gang the Westies were headquartered at this dimly lit dive bar (now Mr. Biggs Bar & Grill)

and were said to have shot and dismembered their victims on-site.

Carlos Marcello, considered to be the Mafia boss of the South, was among the most notorious customers who enjoyed this Cajun-Italian joint’s menu and secluded location.
