CARBONE RESTORANTE



ROCCO'S IS CARBONE ?



ROCCO'S IS CARBONE !
The former Greenwich Village Old-Schhol Red-Sauce Italian Joint, Rocco's a beloved little neighborhood trattoria closed two years ago as most people know. Squeezed out by a greedy lanlord and the so-called Torrisi Boys; Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick ... Some hard-core old-school Italians were really miffed and the final straw some said was when the ne-owners superimposed the name "Carbone" right over the Old Rocco Neon Sign .. They said the Torrisi Boys add "Insult to Injury" with that one, not to mention prices like $52 Veal Parmigiano and sky-high prices across the board on; cocktails, food, and wine ...

SUNDAY SAUCE alla CLEMENZA


Hey, come over here, kid, learn something. You never know, you might have to cook for twenty guys someday. You see, you start out with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, tomato paste, you fry it; ya make sure it doesn't stick. You get it to a boil; you shove in all your sausage and your meatballs; heh?... And a little bit o' wine. An' a little bit o' sugar, and that's my trick.

Tripadvisor Pizza Debacle



PIZZAIOLO MAESTRO DOMINIC DeMARCO
MAKING AMERICA'S BEST PIZZA
At HIS PIZZERIA "DiFARA PIZZA"
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK



TripAdvisor makes a major Faux Pas when with their Top 10 Pizza Cities of U.S.  The Faux Pas, TripAdvisor puts the "Undisputed Raining King of American Pizza 4th" and as if they are even more out of their minds rank San Diego # 1, Las Vegas # 2, Boston # 3, and The Champ New York # 4  ... It doesn't take much of a Genius to realize that this is one of the 21st Centuries biggest Media Blunders of all. So bad in fact, "It's a Joke," an absurdity that is beyond belief and has "Seriously Hurt TripAdvisor" and given them a major Credibility Issue.  A business that is built on credibility and giving "Advise" as per their "Name," TripAdvisor is in TROUBLE ..
Below:  "THIS IS INSANITY" !!!
The Top 10 Cities for Pizza, as determined by TripAdvisor:
  1. San Diego, California
  2. Las Vegas, Nevada
  3. Boston, Massachusetts
  4. New York City, New York
  5. Seattle, Washington
  6. Austin, Texas
  7. San Francisco, California
  8. Indianapolis, Indiana
  9. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  10. Phoenix, Arizona
At issue here is not whether San Diego, Boston, and Las Vegas has better Pizza then New York and that they have bragging rights. "Hell No!" They don't, anyone in their "Right-Mind" knows that no city can touch New York in their superiority as far as Pizza is concerned, New York is America's undisputed Champ, we have some of the Best Pizza on Earth, and this include Italy. The only city that comes close to New York is New Haven, Connecticut, but even as great as New Haven and the towns pizza is, they are a distant second to New York, Chicago? Fougettabout IT! Chicago, that "Deep Dish Stuff" That's NOT Pizza, it's Deep Dish something, not Pizza. The balance is completely off to be called "real pizza."
The issue here, with TripAdvisor's Major Foul-Up  is when you go to Tripadvisor for "Advise" on Hotels, Restaurants, and other travel related questions to determine what is the best, and for accurate descriptions, opinions, and ratings, "Is Tripadvisor accurate and reliable? The answer is, "Sometimes," just be careful and look to others like Yelp and articles and other info on places you are seeking accurate info and advice about. Don't solely count on TripAdvisor. This "Pizza Debacle" is a major "blunder" and one that will take Tripadvisor a good long time to recover from.

Gabagool




gabagool
This is an addition to the previous definition, which is half right. "Gabagool" is slang for "capicola." It is not a mispronunciation, but is instead in Napolitan dialect, which is what the Sopranos and many Italian-Americans use.
The rule in this dialect is to chop off ending vowels and to voice unvoiced consonants.

Ricotta-"rigot"
Manicotti-"manigot"
