At this Bronx branch of the Little Italy place where Colombo crime family capo Joey Gallo was rubbed out, stick with the seafood done in the style of southernmost Italy-including Apulia, Calabria, and Sicily.

He can sit outside on a sunny afternoon and enjoy the lemony seafood salad of squid, conch, and shrimp, then go on to the deep-fried shrimp balls with super-hot marinara dipping sauce, served with rock-hard Sicilian toasts. But hey, dude, better watch your back, because... More »
