Vito Rizzuto 'Gone to the Mattresses?'

By Ed Scarpo
No, this one was Big Al's.
Where’s Vito?

Once a fixture at finer restaurants and golf courses in the GTA and Montreal, embattled Mafia boss Vito Rizzuto, 66, has fallen off the radar since he returned to Canada from a Colorado prison about two months ago.

There are plenty of unconfirmed sightings, alternately placing him in York Region, huddling in a cafe in Montreal’s Saint-Leonard Italian neighbourhood and riding through Montreal in an armour-plated vehicle [the cost of which we already know].

FINAL
The story of the two decorated NYPD detectives who moonlighted as hitters for the Luchese crime family may soon play out on television screens near you.



Emmy Award-winning Boardwalk Empire creator/Sopranos executive producer Terence Winter has “committed” to writing and developing the series that will tell the story of the Mafia Cops, aka Stephen Caracappa and Louis Eppolito, a recent New York Post report blared.

Caracappa and Eppolito were former NYPD detectives who worked for the Mafia in New York City, primarily for the underboss of the Luchese crime family, in the 1980s and early 1990s. The two retired detectives were finally indicted in 2005 and then convicted in 2006 of eight counts of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, plus labor racketeering, extortion, narcotics, gambling, and obstruction of justice. In 2009, Caracappa was sentenced to life plus 80 years and Eppolito to life plus 100 years.

(Caracappa died on April 8, 2017 at age 75 of cancer while reportedly at the…

Hoodwinked: Restaurateur on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares Was a Mobster

Peter (Peter Pasta) Pellegrino, formerly of the Babylon, New York restaurant Peter’s Italian Restaurant, really is -- or was -- a gangster.


The once-promising Bonanno crime family member who appeared in Kitchen Nightmares now calls himself a brokester. And the Bonanno crime family, with which he was once affiliated has disowned him.

So has the rest of New York's Cosa Nostra, according to FBI documents and Peter Pasta himself.

But before all that he appeared on an episode of Kitchen Nightmares in which he acted very much like the mobster he allegedly was trying to become around the time of filming. (See Peter's Italian Restaurant menu here.)






Back then Peter Pasta was an up-and-coming Bonanno associate who "earned" $15 grand a week from bookmaking.

At the time, he also owned two boats that he'd park in a pricey nearby Babylon harbor called Great South Bay.

Gang Land News's Jerry Capeci broke the news about Peter Pasta's mob status, reporting:

This is the third round of Q&As. Please email any additional questions or post them in the comment section of this story. Also, former Luchese wiseguy John Pennisi has started a blog, Sitdown News so be sure and visit. 

Question: I'm Paul from Italy. Do you know something about the active families outside New York (not only the Decavalcante family and Philly)???

John Pennisi: Paul, piacere, I had some dealing with and met a few Ndrangheta I believe they were from Canada. What impressed me with them was we were once in a restaurant and I was brought over to a table where about 12 of their people were sitting. I sat and talked for a while and then went back to my table. When they left in a line from young to old, with their boss being last, they came over to say goodbye. Very disciplined and full of respect.

Q: Why continue to follow Vic Amuso as boss? The Lucchese Family must recognize his poor leadership during the 90’s and his inability to control Casso so why continue to follow…
