A fascinating story since I've eaten at some of the restaurants mentioned. Also several Galganos were mentioned and I knew "Rat" Galgano in high school. Also, while in high school I worked at a couple of mob run beach motels in Sunny Isles. My father asked me to find out which restaurants those guys ate at so he could check them out.

As a bonus, here are some supposed Scott Rothstein (a mob wannabee) "quotes" provided by one of the commentators of this story:

Top Ten Famous Scotty Mob Quotes (Overheard throughout Ft. Lauderdale from 2003-2009)


1) "She said I had a beautiful Braciola, Oh!".

2) "Hey Joey, leave the gun and take the cannolis, Oh!"

3) "These shoes are real alligata. Oh!"

4) "Hey professa, call me when you have no class, Oh!"

5) "Honey, do you think I'll stand out in this satin shirt that reflects sunlight, Oh!"

6) "I'm a tough kid from Da Bronx. I got into a fight once in 3rd grade, Oh!"

7) "Hey your Governess. You don't think I just spent 50 large on a cake because I like ya, do you?, Oh!"

8) "Hey Franklin, get your ass ova here. Gunga Din just crashed his Bentley, Oh!"

9) "Hey Arnold, come ova here. I love ya, you big Nazi, Oh!"

10) "Kidzzz, this is your captain speakin'. I'm gonna take this firm up to Warp Speed. Oh, and by the way, stay the f*ck out of my office you mutts, Oh!.....Lova Ya!"

In their old age, they’ve decided they like the Florida climate better than Chicago.

If you sniff ‘round Sunny Isles condos now you’ll notice a lot of condos owned by a lot of Russians. Jeepers, I wonder why?

Great story. I remember, as a child, in the early Fifties, the hotel we stayed at in Miami Beach had lots of slot machines. As a young man, I lived in Milwaukee, just around the corner from the Shorecrest Hotel, and Snug’s. Knew the Balistrieri kids. Old man Frank’s most famous quote;
“He called me a name - to my face - and now they can’t find his skin!”

I would feel safer in South Florida with the Mafia on the streets then I would with gang bangers.
