If your actions helped lead to what many called the biggest mob bust in two decades, would you be showing your face in the five boroughs for the Five Families to see? Well, Joseph Vollaro, who is supposed to be in witness protection, seems to live life to its very edge, as the Post reports he "brashly strolled into a Staten Island sushi restaurant Saturday night," picking up take-out.
Vollaro went to Mizu in Tottenville - which happens to be two stores from Vollaro's wife Trisha's restaurant Docks Clam Bar & Pasta House. The Post suspects Vollaro may have wanted to be close to his pregnant-with-twins wife he left behind. Guardian Angels' co-founder Curtis Sliwa's co-worker happened to be at Mizu at the time and recognized the recent cover boy (a bartender also said it was definitely Vollaro). Sliwa, no stranger to the mob after Junior Gotti allegedly tried to have him killed, says:
"This is what you call cogliones.
"This is Staten Island - I could swing a dead cat around my head, and every fifth person I would hit is organized crime.
"That's really rubbing it in their [the mob's] faces.
"This is what you call on the streets 'styling and profiling.'"
Trisha Vollaro's family told the Daily News she knew nothing of her husband's ties with the mob. When WCBS 2's Ti-Hua Chang tried to get a comment from Trisha Vollaro, "she got upset and sent two large dogs to the door." However, WCBS 2 did hear from an anonymous source that Vollaro "robbed everybody...he never paid anyone." The source did say that Trisha Vollaro would probably be safe but added, "Her f**king husband is a rat bas****."
