I have done enough research for 12 years and I have in my possession prison records from Tony Milano. They detail who he communicated with, who visited him etc. Milano was the TRUE power in Cleveland, hands down. I can't share them as we are doing a project that is being worked on currently with three others and it cost them time and money to get the records. However, very interesting and it makes me believe that Milano was one of the most respected mafioso in the country in his heyday. So then Milano gave the nod to nardi to whack lips moecri? I don't know that, but it certainly is plausible.

My Wife and I were discussing a few weeks ago about when Leo disappeared - how the cops and the FBI started questioning everyone at the Akron Sicilian Club about "where were they that night" and who had their alibis in order, etc. Then looking for the body at various locations... They absolutely hated Leo trying to run Akron - I never heard anyone that liked the guy.

I know Leo was HATED in Youngstown and many people were happy to see him go. His flunky cousin, Jack Licavoli, didn't do him any favors by bumping him up to Underboss.

Sam was not made. He was connected & assoc but was very business saavy & kept as low a profile as possible - &&& he is NOT related to ron luccarelli . Sams nephew is in "charge" of bus. John Oliverio is pres. of
1-800-ohio comp & his man glen pauly is on w/ him as well as pappalardo running minutemen . They have same bus. in chicago-readymen they own & also ny & few other places.many times they went after sam but never got him . Good solid guy/ old schoolRIP Sam.ohio comp was genius in idea . They are insurer for companies & really are between injured worker & BWC( but work for co. ) their name alone confuses people to blieve they are part of bwc ! Ironically they are against injured worker & oliverio still is head of a few unions .!!! These are all very lucrative bus. & legit(along w/ some persuasion tactics. Hah doesnt matter if he was made he had the politicians ,and he put people back in action . yeah They can thank former mayor voinovich for opening the flood gates of money for the bwc. Little inside baseball ?

They may have but the grawe bros.saw it thru. You agree
Or believe oterwise. Lips had alot of enemies, was a slob & not liked as you have all stated. This was a slap in the face to j. white to prove a point. I really dont think many cared is my opinion also. Fritz says otherwise , the FBI did say it was Ritson and Hans

Johnny's Bar on Fulton - Simply the best between Chicago and New York. Make a reservation and ask for a table with Ricky. Much better than Johnny's Downtown.
No, I'm not an owner only an old timer retired from a couple of decades in the restaurant business.
You will not be disappointed!

Thank you Henry! Anyone else have anymore suggestions? Giovanni's if you want high end on Chagrin Blvd in Cleveland. Pizza at Mama Santa's in Little Italy or Geraci's in University Heights. Nido Italia, a very historic mob hangout is really good as well and in a Little Italy. Where exactly are you staying? And I agree with Henry, Johnny's is tops. http://www.cleveland.com/dining/index.ssf/2014/04/the_19_best_italian_restaurant.html

Giovanni's is an old world classic. Have a cocktail in the lounge first and enjoy a formal evening with great food. Well regarded wine list to boot. Carl is a most gracious and knowledgeable a host. Women love this restaurant.
Johnny's is less formal, but just a pricey. Somewhat like Angelo's on Mulberry. Most will tell you that as good as the food is at Giovanni's, and it's excellent, Johnny's food is best.
BTW: In addition to Johnny's regular wine list, Bo has a private list that will blow your socks off. Not to mention your BR ;-)

I'm going to find myself in Cleveland for some business very soon coming up- what are the best Italian restaurants? Pizza parlours? Sports bars? How's the little Italy- is it just a tourist trap like manhattans? I'm counting on you Cleveland guys for some solid local info.... Little Italy is in Mayfield which is 25 miles from Lakewood on the Westside, but WELL WORTH the trip if you have a car. Mama Santa's is one of the best pizza parlors in Cleveland as well as Geraci's Pizza in University Heights which is 15 miles from Lakewood (Westside). Sports Bars are awesome on the Westside, try these: 1. The Harp (Looking out to Lake Erie) 2. Great Lakes Brewing Company-AWESOME local beer, try their Dortmunder Gold

Bistro on Lincoln Park Michael Symon has a place downtown in the Entertainment District, Lola. This entire area is really quite nice. If you go to Lola, ask for their 4-top in the front window. Great view of the area.
