What's up fellas . Off topic but heading to Borgata tomorrow and Fri for some celebrating

Haven't been to AC in 2 years and I've been there a bunch but since I'm treating for dinner ( and / or a lunch ) any suggestions for a good eating spot with drinking ( combonornine of either hot chicks , nice layout i like chick and old school , up beat atmosphere etc. ). I'm 38 and love old school Grandma style Italian food .

Looking for good food obviously but not super high priced and a overall life is good type vibe if you get my drift lol . I know we have a bunch of regulars on here so figured I'd ask . Thanks in advance

My moms at resorts rite across from beach. Guess around 1500 for a weeks stay. I assume the rooms very nice.

DB-

I pm'ed you.

A couple old Atlantic City cops one Italian one Jewish are doing a radio show from Patsys in NYC tomorrow. These guys were friendly cops the Italian guy Bobby was Skinny D’Amato son in-law married to Paula Jane .

Anyway they are doing it with Joe Pesci

These two got all the cushy jobs with the brat pack and Bobby was Frank Sinatra bodyguard while he was in AC many times these stars wound up in Ducktown for a few reasons even after the 500 club way after matter of fact .

The stars would come down to Ducktown for restaurants and a card room or social club that some cops were aloud in but many of times they would be in White House subs Bobby and Merrell Worked there also as security at the door.

I did not ask what the radio show is about but sure it’s about Sinatra and the boys and the stories that go along with it.

I looked up the Yelp page on AC restaurants:
https://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=italian&find_loc=ATLANTIC+CITY%2C+NJ
Anthony Bourdain a few years ago liked Tony's Baltimore--his meal in the restaurant looked very good. White House Subs is a local legend.

I can remember back to around 1958 in Ducktown we had good bars restaurants and pool halls and social clubs the 500 club being the drawl to get the stars out of the hotels and away from the piers where many started there stardom.

Baltimore grill was owed by a Italian family recently sold . They have kept same menu and are one of the last of the spots we grew up in along with White House and they have not been the same last 20 years since the owner Tony passed and all of the old crew left him just before his death , nothing is the same in Atlantic City nothing.

Angeloni’s is still in Ducktown and great. He’s a relatively “new” kid on the block though opening in early 80s. AC has a great dining scene still as long as you eat outside of the Casinos.

Scannichio’s at Lefty’s Tavern is a fucking Home Run of a joint too!

any of you guys been to chef vola's?

You would be surprised how Louie’s wife Chet ties into Phil L

Yes many many times

Yeah Dante it’s how all of Ducktown used to be and yes Allen is the new guy and possibly the soul survivor.

I get that there is no way for you to get what that area was , being on a island we knew everyone in every job at every level it was fucken great.

I’m open to hearing it or you can PM me

How was it last time you went? I’m trying to go at some point next year when I’m down there

She has twin sisters one is married to Phil and Phil tells everyone that his wife’s name is Maria it’s not and she has a twin I knew both since thy came from Philly just young kids they lived on Arctic ave. for years next to a pretty famous candy shop that was more then a candy store back to Nucky’s days .

They moved around the corner around 78 on to Georgia ave and it’s then the guys started to notice her and her twin sister a few years later Phil noticed her because she started dating some locals and of course she was with Vince now and then but he was married.


The sister older then Chet ( Concetta) but younger then the twins Mary waitressed and later bartender at Angeloni’s and later Chet waitressed also way before Louie.

Serp, you been to girasole? It has a versace store downstairs or something?

Yes I was able to obtain a table there on Fourth of July Night 6 years ago with my girlfriend with huge tits at the time. It’s BYOB and make sure u get the Bone in Veal Parm. I had to dupe the guy a handful of sawbucks to get a table there that night, I came there drunk off the beach From Ventura’s Tiki Bar in Margate dripping wet & sandy and handed him a fistful of Sawbucks and was able to get me in that night. A very great meal, there’s about 10-12 tables in there and it’s in a house .

Absolute Smokeshow barmaid there who is dating the younger brother of the broad who was from Philly on Mobwives Show (sorry don’t watch the show ) . They’re all from Italy , last name is Iovino all of them and their family works there. Gino Iovino has an Italian Menshop on the pier shops in AC across from Ceasars with all $500 Versace shirts for sale in it so that’s what ur thinking about , no there’s no Versace store in the basement there at Girasole. They’re into fashion at Girasole. I would eat at Scannichio’s or Angeloni’s over Girasole if you’re just going for great food.

Mobwives, you talking about Natalie? Her pops died not too long ago. Good man. Worked at Gangemi after he was at Carto and married to the daughter. I think. Aren't they Leonetti relatives?

No we rarely change up for where we go unles it comes highly recommended .

There are several casinos restaurants that I have not been to nowadays. But in 70’ s through late 90’s I ate at all and stayed at all and seen every show and almost every fight in casinos or convention hall (Boardwalk Hall) dam shame really really is .

Think the last big outdoor show we did was Borgata we were invited to Velvet Revolver and that’s been a long time.

City has plenty of space and government is so fucken lost because there is no pool of folks to pick from you have a hand full of people that doesn’t even pay there taxis let alone quality people for government and it shows.

Serp, what are the odds of a group of young, tight knit picciotti going to AC, and turning the town back to it's glory? Do you think there would be resistance from the philly brass? Can they operate without kicking up or doing so without being controlled?

i forgot think we was there 2 3 week of june the wyndham skyline tower like a 1 bedroom condo off airbb like 100 a night 15 floor its was sweet. i liked the place and all its all oldtime glory and the ghetto 2 blocks over. liked the beach over brigantine better. good time would recommend. you could go there for like 25 in food stamps rite now and get a nice place for a night

Chef volos has great eats

A couple of weeks ago the Hard Rock basically called AC a dump. I wish I could post it but I dont know how! There pissed off they spend aot of money going to Ac and along Pacific ave is still shit. Broken street lights and hookers etc.

If anybody gets to Ac in the summer they should check out Hard rocks beach bar. Great spot on a hot summer day

They are dead on ! When the city was bringing in more money then any other state AC was rebuilding north jersey infant structure right down to highways and bridges.

It was also being pissed away by local politicians .... what the state didn’t rob the city did .....it’s a fucken pigsty .

Who’s got your back? Here’s the article Flamingo

Thank you. Dante

Is that Italian joint still upstairs in Ceasers...that was pretty good.

Also on the steel pier in that mall, there was a great Italian Resturant upstairs.

Have not been there in years but would like to go back one day.

That italian restaurant at ceasars is one i frequented often, it was called Primavera. Very good food. I dont think its there any longer.
Medici in Sands was also good as was Martino’s in either claridge or show boat, i forget. It was good though.

I always enjoyed the buffet upstairs at the Wild West Casino in Bally's, Or Pickels for Lunch.

i thought that steel pier thing is the ugliest thing on the whole boardwalk. why the fuck did they build the thing it divieds the beach and its in the water all i can think was all this shit leaking out of there rite were im swimming the need to nuke that thing. why would you block the view of the beach. like sunset you look up just see that big thing connected to mgm or whatever that casino is.

actually i never went swimming rite there, we went over the bridge to bridgetine or whatever its called.
