Pre Covid port Newark guys would eat at Cafe Expresso Italia down neck . They have $8 lunch specials to die for . Best eggplant parm and roast beef around

it’s a hole in the wall old school italian deli

Yes!!!! My fucking God , Artie Lange wrote about eating there in his book Too Fat to Fish .

My Longshoremen buddies I grew up with took me there once to eat when we were like 19 and I’ve been hooked ever since, everytime I’m in DownNeck during the day it’s a must. Lotta book, shy, hookers, and drugs out of that scene down there through Westside crew allegedly.

One of the non Italian guys in that Newark bust started as a Newark wholesale coke dealer back in day but I doubt they still deal direct on drugs as they specialize in the finance side which is big $

With girls I’m sure they finance it but in Newark thats run by Spanish crews that bring in new girls almost weekly from Columbia or Venezuela , change houses , legit op

They got all the video poker machines down neck as they work with the Portuguese / Brazilians . They had Brazilian guys part of their crew . Bella Napoli in Bloomfield gets some Westside guys , some guys that would go to The Godfather’s go there. I went to Bella for Italy / Spain match and Italians everywhere lol

The AVE for the final !

This time of the year all the Italians will be down here at the shore cuz . Besides there’s literally one Italian Restaurant (Luigi’s) and One Italian bar (Belmont Tavern) left nowadays in the year 2021 on The Ave.

DiVencenzo gave the owner of Luigi’s and intermezzo feast permits. They’re shutting down the two blocks on Bloomfield ave. For the game like they did for the World Cup in 06

I posted something about Ragusa brother running the ILA benefit fund port Newark which is fascinating

That’s brazen and probably speaks to the importance of the job given the access to huge amount of funds / kickback city

I have a bunch of friends that work at the port and they have said the Irish run things pre Covid , possible front for the Italians but I guess that doesn’t extend to the benefit funds.

I have a hunch that the Westside is still very much involved in port Newark. I would of thought they were near dead but I don’t think that’s the case and they are still running penny stock scams to union guys. All kinds of shit going into there , taking whole containers , it’s wild and I can’t imagine the scams during Covid when no one was watching

Sal is a long time Bellville guy

I suspect Dan Dellisanti is in his crew as he is a Franklin Ave Nutley guy

The Luchesse and Gambinos have a kind of social club in Bellville but I’ve never heard of the Westside having one outside of down neck Newark where they have big loan sharking , gambling and money laundering operations . I highly doubt there is a social club in Nutley

Ricci was 60 when he ended up in a trunk.

The Lawrence Ricci with the NYSA ILA benefit funds is listed as living in Montclair and only one person by that name there, who is 54.

Which means trunk music Ricci would be 76 today if still alive and so 22 years older than the younger Ricci, and old enough to be his father.

On top of all that, Ricci's obituary listed a Lawrence Ricci Jr.

Gotta be his kid.

Interesting about Ragusa and Brancato on the Metro-ILA benefit funds.

Funny they still have Louis Pernice listed on the board of trustees though he died last year.

Great info

Can you show me where Ricci and Brancato still work for the benefit funds ?

I guess the WFC has no say over Benefit fund positions ?

If they still have this much power at the ports , 2020 must of been one of their best years ever . The fact Christie tried to hide their influence is pretty interesting
