Vesuvio's from The Sopranos

Filming Location Elizabeth, New Jersey

This is Vesuvio's restaurant from The Sopranos.

It is located at 91 Elizabeth Avenue in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

Vesuvio's is owned by Tony's childhood friend, Artie Bucco.

Bucco's Vesuvio
Tony and his nephew, Christopher Moltisanti, pull up outside Bucco's Vesuvio.

During the pilot episode, Tony's uncle, Junior Soprano, intends to carry out a mob hit on the premises.

Tony objects to the idea, fearing it would destroy Artie's reputation and put him out of business for good.

Tony uncle junior
Tony attempts to persuade "Uncle June" to carry out the hit on "Little Pussy" Malanga somewhere else. He explains that Artie has managed to attract "nice, upscale people from the suburbs" and that a shooting will "ruin his life." Junior refuses to budge on the matter, arguing that Vesuvio is one of the few places where Malanga feels safe.

To prevent the shooting from going ahead, Tony attempts to trick Artie into temporarily closing the restaurant by offering him free cruise tickets.

However, Artie's wife, Charmaine, orders him to refuse the tickets on moral grounds.

Artie and Charmaine
Artie wants to accept the tickets, but his wife, Charmaine, is strongly opposed. She views them as blood money, stating, "Somebody donated their kneecaps for those tickets." Consequently, Artie is forced to give them back.

As a final measure, Tony orders his right-hand man, Silvio Dante, to set the building on fire. In his mind, a fire is easier to recover from than a mob killing.

Fire
Silvio firebombs the restaurant in a way that makes it look like a faulty stove started the blaze.

Until 2018, this building housed a Spanish and Mediterranean restaurant called Manolo’s.
