John’s’ current owner, Lowell Fein now owns the restaurant with partners Paul Dauber, Robbie Rundbaken, and, continuing the namesake’s legacy. The Italian neighborhood where Pucciatti moved to in the East Village existed even before Little Italy. We are the only Mafia experience allowed to enter the joint.....
