It's called Friendly's Lounge... Pretty sure Scarfo murdered someone in there too, but I can't remember exactly. I'll ask next time I'm in there haha not

u know when i was posting that i had a feeling something was off about the name..thanx & i drive by it all the time ..gettin'old.

1039 South 8th Street. Skinny Razor's Philly HQ but the license was held by Scarfo's Capo Freddy Iezzi who was made Capo after Skinny Razor died. Iezzi late transferred the license to his wife. I've heard Skinny Razor set up guys to be killed there, maybe Scarfo was involved, but I have seen no stories that say he was involved with any particular murder there.

Exactly..Frank Sheeran claims he used 2 meet Phil Testa & Angie in there to get certain orders as a favor from Russel Buffalino.. & they were as well known 4 their bbq rib dinners..where did they fit the so called crowds i read about, i often wondered..maybe the place was a little bigger back in the day?..

It's a stretch to call anyone in that life likeable, but I think Harry Riccobene comported himself very well in this documentary.

I'm a Screenwriter, who lived in and around Philly for around 20 years, and I would love to develop a series about Phil's life.

You maybe a few weeks late .

There a actor on Netflix like gave hes detective scarf. Hes the spitting image of scarfo probably why his name is scarf. Late 40tys there's your man. Like cage pretty good show good soundtrack.

I am surprised nothing of a Netflix series or a major motion picture or even another book deal has not come forward yet .

That don’t mean it’s not because they have Phil L to fill in every person every murder every storyline and tons of shit Phil didn’t put in his book.

A while back I seen him on Georgia ave in his favorite restaurant and he was sitting with and waiting for the people that did his first book .

I don’t know how long it takes to get shit off the ground for something that big because they could easy do a 5 - 8 seasons on Netflix just from Bruno to Nicks death .

But there is way way to much money to not do it so guess it’s wait and see but something will happen because Phil knows the dollar figure of something like that and it will pay.

It could be down to quality holding it up because we all know how a bad film can ruin the entire thing.

And really who doesn’t know the story of Philly NY Detroit Boston ect . Mafia it would be a $$$$$$$$

sopranos was so good and based in new jersey i dont think any company would try to compete with it thats why they did the boardwalk empire show whiich was based almost 100yrs pre tony soprano. dont think they can do a mafia show the idea been beat to death.

side note does scarfo sr have a headstone a some cemtery in NJ? did he get burried.

Wow! This would be epic! The jersey thing, most definitely bring the Sopranos to mind. South Philly would be cool, as well as Scarfo having connections with the Commission, Florida with Lansky and Canada. I believe that it’s rumoured that Nicodemo Scarfo was involved in the murder of the Fox, Paul Volpe.

If Netflix or whoever did a series between late 70's to the late 80's, A show based in AC and Philly would be awesome.

I forgot hbo has a sopranos movie coming out im guessing it takes place when tony was a kid 60tys 70tys. Havent seen the trialer it was filmed awhile ago im betting its released soon. It would cost aton of money to replicate AC OR south philly in the 70tys even parts of the irishman film lookes a little cheezy. If anyone could do it HBO

What I am saying is Scarfo is the Al Capone of 80’s & 90’s ( on smaller scale )not in earnings but in mob a lore from folks that just know a little, regular folks.

Just like Sopranos the masses watched it , not so much people in the life because not enough of them to sustain a series or a show .

A philly mob biopic - why has this not been seriously discussed?! From Bruno whacking to joey merlino early era when bodies were still dropping. 3 movies there. Small family, smaller cheaper filiming locations s.philly and AC. Has this ever been considered by a film company?
