The Pope of Greenwich Village

Charlie is a maitre d' with dreams of escaping New York's Little Italy and buying his own restaurant in the country. Paulie is a hustler who never met a get-rich-quick scheme he didn't like. Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts practically ooze marinara from their pores as these Italian American cousins who flirt dangerously with loan sharks, the mafia, secretly sired racehorses and the occasional cracked safe.
