REVIEWS & ENDORSEMENTS
I've known Michael for 40 years, and one thing about him—he never gives up.
FRANKIE VALLI
Singer, Actor
"If anyone knows anything about cooking Italian food in North Jersey, it's Michael Monaco."
VINCENT CURATOLA
Actor, The Sopranos
“What’s great about Cooking For Wiseguys is that it comes from the firsthand knowledge of growing up around these people. The stories capture the smells of the food, along with the streets where business was done, how it was done, and the guys who benefited…all while knowing a prison sentence or a bullet could be just minutes away.”
