To gangsters bb.net 1997 an Venetian mobster from Venice named Tomasso Buti owned and operated a chain of restaurants called fashion Cafe. Don't say that it wasn't mafia because I know better. Since I was a waiter the head chef was named Mario Poalo who was a loan shark and his uncle was a New Jersey godfather.
The scam went as follows several models claimed to be the owners Christie turlington, Kathy Ireland, Naomi Campbell, to name a few when in reality they owned none of it and weren't even paid. I know a lot about the scam including how Umberto's restaurant in little Italy shut them down. Yes you heard right they were run out town by the mob. Many of you are going to pull newspaper clippings to say otherwise. Just remember I was there at the time and know all the intimate details of the scam and who was scammed I.e Versace and tons more.
My question is what happened to Tomasso I left NYC along time ago?
