I have a friend from work, Italian New Yorker whose dad told me, and this guy never hardly uttered a word, when I was going through a divorce and the ex was out of control, that if I was ready he had a solution for my problem

My grandfather ate dinner at Carlos Marcello's house on multiple occasions. He always claimed they were just New Orleans Italian family get-togethers and nothing mob related.

Just local folks when I worked for one of the legitimate front businesses, back in the day.

I know a family member of Carlos Marcello
I was in the same fraternity with one of his great nephews. He was in ROTC and became a career Army officer. AFAIK his branch of the family wasn't involved at all. I knew another guy who married the daughter of one of the Marcello associates. They are now divorced. At one time she and her sister ran a Montessori preschool in uptown NOLA. It may still be there, idk. That would be a great Sopranos plot twist.

Had some distant relations way back that were allegedly in the Chicago Outfit.
But, while I suspect most anyone of Sicilian heritage would encounter the mafia at some point in Little Italy of the 1920s, I'm not sure how common it was to actually be a member of the gangs.
So I suspect that claim was wildly exaggerated.

After Katrina, my roommate's cousin came to live with us for a bit because his place got flooded. He might not have been in a formal family business, but he was Italian and he was shaddy as shite. I have a high tolerance for things, but I was glad when he was gone. He was one of those guys that always had merchandise that fell off the back of the truck.

A guy I used to work for was brought in from Italy in the 70s to start pizza restaurant. Someone else would come in weekly and take out the gallon cans of sauce. more than likely had dope in them. He also ran the local bookie and card games.
They set him up with a wife so he could get his green card. Wife sleeps in the other side of the house.
By the time I worked for him, he was way out of anything though

Outside of Nashville small town. I was meeting a fella to look at a vehicle.
Long story short I asked about his accent and found out he was from New York and here through witness protection from testifying that's all he would say. Can't tell you no more. Not sure if it was true but he looked the part. Found it odd how he brought it up so could of been a lie acting cool.
Always stuck with me. Maybe 7-8 years ago

We know the same guy. He's a friend of ours.
No, really he's a friend of me and my brother. He's a good guy. He told me that the old Sicilian outfit is pretty much reserved to the New York/NJ area along with Boston. But they are dying out and the kids and grandkids are all pretty legit upstanding citizens. The larger problem today are the Russian/ Eastern European guys.....and the Chinese.
The Italians always wanted to ultimately be legit . The old mobsters of the 70s and 80s purposely kept their kids out of the life.

I'm about 90% sure my 1st stepdads father was connected.
100% Italian, family originated in Sicily and came to New York and when he died, at his wake a limo showed up with a few older and middle aged men (who i never saw before) wearing obvious custom suits, they only viewed the body, gave condolences to his wife and gtfo.
One of the damnedest things I ever saw tbh

I once played golf with a guy from the New York mafia. Only I didn’t find out until after the game when another guy we were playing with told me.

There's close to half that number in the Gambino Family alone.

Can anyone confirm that the Taco Tico in Metairie was owned by the mafia? The only thing that place had going for it was the chaco-taco. Stayed open way longer than you would expect for the number of customers that it had.
Tiffin Inn also always had mafia boss type looking people eating there, but it was always busy.
