i know you're being saracastic but...of course he is. He runs a good restaurant in a good location with good food. My family has been going there for years, hosted my grandfather's 80th birthday there. Unfortunate these GOP skells flock there but i assume their money is still green like anyone else's.

Not really sarcasm, just a TV reference. His name is similar to chef Artie Bucco, who Tony Soprano described as “a warm and convivial host” to his patrons.

lolol. funny enough, i actually thought about Artie Bucco when i was writing my first comment here because Joey Il Bacco really is like Artie but without the childhood friendship with a mob boss. The fact that i missed your quote just means i'm probably due for a rewatch of the show.

That was actually his blurb in the Zagat guide, and he took it too much to heart, pissing off Tony because he wouldn't stop talking to him during the meal.
