Umberto's Clam House, scene of Joey Gallo's 1972 killing, settles at 132 Mulberry Street
Umberto's Clam House opened in 1972 at 129 Mulberry Street, and in April of that year gangster Joey Gallo was shot dead there after his birthday celebration. The restaurant closed in 1996 for lack of funds, reopened in 2000 at Mulberry and Broome Streets, and in 2010 moved to its present spot at 132 Mulberry, a few doors north of the original site. The Ianniello family has owned it since the start, though federal monitors oversaw its finances from 1986 to 1994.
