"As time ticked away, things slowly changed. A human metamorphosis took place as the differences faded into a new America..."
Friends, food, the Mob, and la Famiglia, these are my stories about growing up as an Italian-American in Brooklyn, NY.
F.W. Ricci, Author





Frank W. Ricci
Serving as a chef for the Mafia in Brooklyn piqued his interest. His legal education provided a new perspective. Frank W. Ricci, a Mafia insider turned author, reveals the enigma of organized crime and exposes its hidden world.
Growing Up In Brooklyn When Mobsters Made The Headlines!
“Living in a culture within a culture. When things “on the street” weren’t exactly as innocent as they seemed. Frank Ricci makes us laugh and also makes us cringe with his recollections of life in Post WW2 Brooklyn NY. Truly fascinating and entertaining all the way through.”
