In 1972 Joseph Gallo was sloppily killed by fellow Colombos in Umbertos, a crowded clam house in Manhattan's Little Italy. Several months later, his avengers entered another restaurant, the Neopolitan Noodle, and, in a case of mistaken identity, opened fire on four kosher-meat dealers out for a night on the town.
