ricpic said... OT - Hey Troop, do you know a guy named Mark Iacono? He owns Lucali pizzeria in Carroll Gardens and was stabbed yesterday, according to a story in the Post. He was stabbed in front of Joe's Perette Deli on Smith Street by Benny Geritano who is apparently mob connected. Anyway thought you might know him because of the location. According to the story he's in stable condition. I know both those guys. Mark who owns Lucali the pizza store is often in the bakery across the street "visiting" with one of the girls and Benny's uncle was in the Boy Scouts with me and another cousin was a big shot in the Knights of Columbus with my dad. When I was dropping off the taxes at one of my little old lady's houses she was telling me it was all the talk at the Stations of the Cross the night before.
I hear it was personal not business related and I don't want to get into details. It's funny but the store they fought in is Joe's Superette which I have written about several times which makes the best rice balls and prosciutto balls in NYC. I take my granddaughter there all the time when she is in town. Too bad she wasn't around....she could have got to see a show. The Jerk De'Soliel. What a couple of mooks.
