...I've been wanting to read something like this for the longest time....
This was spectacular~! My two favorite characters in one fic..!
It had everything I love (Italian-Americans, immigration to the States, gangs, Italian weddings, Romano, ...is that the Prohibition I see? 8DD) all woven together in such a great way~.

Mambo Italiano... I knew I heard that line somewhere before! <333

Aaaaaah... I'm at a loss for words right now... <3333

“Get offa the road, stupido!”

“That was a crosswalk!”

“He knows the risks!”
Hello New York xDD

I have never loved Romano so much until I read this fic.

Curses, now I want some good Italian food. I also apparently need to learn how to swear in Italian.

"And yet you're still Protestant." I think that nearly killed me. XD

This officially moved Romano up to my fourth favorite character. I do love me some 1920s Italian Mafia! There really needs to be more about that time period.

I never realized how much these two ROCK together!
Very nicely done! (also, I want to know Romano's secret for getting blood out of clothing!)
