Pete 'Pasta' Pellegrino

Post by Juice Terry »

Anyone remember this guy making a clown of himself in the first season of Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares?

Swanned around his failing Brooklyn restaurant acting like a stereotypical half a Wiseguy, at one point brawling in the street with a debt collector. Turned out that Pellegrino was in fact a connected guy, apparently with the Bonannos under Jerome Asaro, whilst his father had been a bookie with the Genovese. According to Capeci, there is an FBI report claiming that Pellegrino was made circa 2003.

An article on him by Ed Scarpo in 2011 says he was kicked out of the Mob after an altercation with his brother-in-law, Genovese associate Lawrence Raino, who took out a restraining order on Peter whilst declaring him a rat.

After that any record of Pellegrino online goes cold. Anybody from Brooklyn know this guy? What he's up to these days? Was he really made as the FBI stated? (unlikely I know)

Such a good episode, in fact the only one I've ever watched to see this guy lol. He did have Gordon shitting himself at one point though when Gordon went a step too far with his big mouth and didn't fancy it with Petey Pasta

I remember that. In the kitchen when Pete asked Ramsey to fetch him an orange juice and Ramsey told him to go fuck himself. Pete gave him a death stare and said: "I beg your pardon?". Ramsey did indeed look like he'd shit himself :D

😂 I don’t blame him to be fair. Gordon is a big load of mouth and Peter was a big guy. Very funny though. Also when Peter knocked his own father down and then went crazy at the loan shark guy blaming him for knocking down his father 😂 great tv

That guy wasn’t a loan shark, he was coming to collect a legitimate debt owed to him by the restaurant. The place was failing and owed most of their suppliers quite a bit of money. I’m pretty sure I saw that idiot Peter at Charlie Jets restaurant in Bellmore a year ago maybe more. He didn’t look so big and in shape as he did in that episode that’s for sure.
