As great as the restaurant is, it attracts a lot of wannabe tough guys due to the reputation it has as a mob owned establishment. I’ve been around real gangsters for the last 10 years of my life ( who let me add never have involved me in the life as I’m younger and they respect I have a legit job and family) and I just find the behavior I see when I go there to be sort of corny. It’s very silly to be quite honest and no I’m not talking about Gigi or anyone he’s connected with. It’s like the average person tries so hard to play make believe mob wife or mobster for the evening. The yuppies from Burr Ridge and so forth. Little do they know with a simple phone call I’d have their legs broken if they pushed the envelope. When I go there I enjoy my meal to myself and snicker while shaking my head and rolling my eyes. One evening a guy bumped into me and gave me a dirty look. I humbly smiled at him and said have a nice evening knowing to myself how much of a dead man he would be if he knew who I associated with and touched me. But there’s no reason be cocky or aggressive so I just patted him on the back and went on my way.
