Vesuvio's from The Sopranos

Filming Location in Elizabeth, New Jersey, United States

This is the filming location of Vesuvio's restaurant from The Sopranos.

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

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

In the pilot episode, Junior Soprano plans on carrying out a hit on the premises. However, Tony is dead set against this plan because it might ruin the reputation of Artie's restaurant and put him out of business.

Tony attempts to trick Artie into temporarily closing the restaurant by offering him free cruise tickets. However, Artie's wife, Charmaine, forces him to turn the tickets down on moral grounds.

As a last resort, Tony orders Silvio Dante to set the building on fire. In his mind, a fire is easier to recover from than a mob assassination.

Up until recently, this building was home to a Spanish and Mediterranean restaurant called Manolo's.

Unfortunately, it seems as though Manolo's closed at some point in 2018.

Judging by Google Street View images, the building is currently vacant.

Bucco's Vesuvio

Episode 1, Season 1 - The Sopranos

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

Tony argues with his uncle

In this scene, Tony tries to persuade "Uncle June" to carry out the hit on "Little Pussy" Malanga somewhere else. He argues that Artie has managed to attract "nice, upscale people from the suburbs" and that a shooting will "ruin his life".

Unfortunately, Junior and his crew refuse to budge. From their point of view, Vesuvio is one of the few places where Malanga feels safe.
