Name?

An Italian sounding last name? Male character, already has the first name of Dominick, reported ties to mob-like businesses. Help please?

Thank you in advance!

Matranga.

I miss that restaurant. *sniff* They closed when the old man died. *sigh*

Our local Italian places were Mario's (yeah, I know, rather unoriginal) and Totino's (yes, that Totino's). The first one's a first name and the second wouldn't work because you would hate for readers to suddenly think heir pizza rolls were evil. *g*

LOL!!!

I'd often wondered about the back room at Matranga's, but not NEARLY enough to do something stupid like *ask*. :-)

I've worked with a Mellini and a Bonomo.

I once had a "Convertino" as a client. My boss and I liked to joke that he was a retired mob hitman :)

Magistrelli. I found that name during the course of my work day.
