Going through the first few seasons again, and I noticed in season 1, episode 1 that the name of the pork store where the guys hang out is Cetanni's, not Satriale's. I thought I'd read all the trivia there is about The Sopranos, but I've never run across anything which accounts for this glaring error. Anyone else know?

Cent'anni is the name of the real store - used in the pilot/first episode. For whatever reason, they changed it to Satriales, and since filmed at a different location from what I understand...

Thanks, J Geoff! I figured it was something like that, but hey, ya' never know! One bit of trivia I did pick up on was that they had to remove the pig up on the roof after every day's filming for fear that souvenier hunters would steal it!

ok here is the real low down coming from cenntannis ! in the 1st episode centanni was the spot know they have satriales why you ask ? because centtani was getting paid 2,000 an episode there and they wanted more so sopranos picked up and left ther asses behind. i love a block away from cenntani's and they dont make 2,000 dollors in 2 weeks they are just greedy so know chase found another location which is satriale's which i belive is in kearny nj if i am wrong please correct me about sariales and sorry for the type-o's it's dark so long story short centtanis wanted more money to film in there store and they were asking for 4,000 chase said fuck em and the bounced and know there in kearny. holla back at me with your 2 cents.

Good for Chase! Serves 'em right! Thanks for the additional info., cara cicatriz!
