Q: If Al Capone were alive today, what advice would he have on the family business? - Uinterview

DOM CAPONE: He would probably say Dom, keep it up my man. My seeds are actually planted before Capone you know, with the family tree and uhm, you know for the most part we’re good people. We have great hospitality; we’ve been in business for 20 years. We have the same customers from the moment we opened the door, I have the same friends since I was in third grade. And if that doesn’t show what kind of character I am, I don’t know what does.

Q: Why are there conflicts between your Mother and your girlfriend Stacie? - Uinterview

My Mom just, you know my Mom wants me to have more, my Mom is an old school, you know so she was born in the 50s so she has that old school mentality. She doesn'€™t really see the good side of my girlfriend. We both work a lot so my Mom would rather me have a girlfriend that stays home and does laundry and cooks and cleans all day. But girls, no one does that anymore it's 2014. People work. They wanna do things. They just always fight constantly, and I'€™m in between them and I don't wanna take sides because I love them both. I have a different relationship with both of them, but I’m kinda like the human punching bag with them.

Q: Why do Italian mothers have a hard time accepting their son’s girlfriends? - Uinterview

Well for one, when you’re Italian you’re going to me a momma’s boy. There’s no doubt. If you’re a man, and you’re a boy, you’re close to the mother and that’s the way it goes. The mom always wants you to be with the best of the best, you know. But parents they don’t always know everything; you know they always think they know who’s right for their sons. That’s not the case in this situation.

Q: What’s your definition of a ‘modern gangster’? - Uinterview

Well we do things differently today. Modern day gangster is you know I’m kinda like the new Capone in Chicago 2014, and everything I own I paid for. I don’t have to worry about someone kicking down my door and raiding my house or taking anything you know, yeah I use my fists if I have to, but we use our brains now. All my business associates and my inner circle, we use our brains to make money.

Q: Who’s the modern day equivalent of Al Capone? - Uinterview

Probably the mayor of Chicago. It’s like they tax you like the mob used to tax you, they tax everyone nowadays. People were probably better off in the 20s just because things made more sense. At least if they taxed you they had a reason for taxing you.

Q: What have you learned about your family ties to Al Capone? - Uinterview

You know all I know is what I learned from my family, my great grandfather my grandfather the stories that trickle down, stuff like that. Growing up I never really payed too much attention about it, to everyone else it was always a bigger deal, to me it was just, ‘Hey I’m a normal guy. I’m as real as they come.’

Q: Do people treat you differently when they find out you are a Capone? - Uinterview

Sometimes you get that. I mean especially in restaurants you know you go into a restaurant that has like a two hour wait and you walk in, and you’re bound to know somebody and all of a sudden you sit down in front of everybody else so it does has its perks I can tell you that. It opens doors and if the doors closed, you find a window to crawl through.

Q: Are there any scenes that were too scary to be shown on TV? - Uinterview

There were probably several dozens of those scenes, and I’m still waiting to find out what some of those scenes are because I know that the cameras were rolling a few times and we didn’t realize the cameras were there. Jeff was eating a sausage sandwich and the green peppers, they slid out of the bread, and they landed on his stomach. He was getting burned and he almost took the Escalade and ran over the bridge like off the bridge literally from that.
