Lanza’s was an Italian restaurant in the East Village, Manhattan. It was opened in 1904 by Italian immigrant Michael Lanza in a tenement built in 1871. Lanza was rumored to have been a chef for Victor Emmanuel III of Italy. It closed sometime between 2015 and 2017, reportedly after seizure by a marshal for non-payment of taxes.[1][2][3] The former restaurant's murals, stained glass, and sign were retained by Joe and Pat's, a pizzeria that opened at the location in 2018.[4]
They were known to be a favorite of Lucky Luciano, Carmine “Lilo” Galante and Joseph “Socks” Lanza.[1]
