No more Mulino’s for Pipolo

September 26, 2008 by The Boss · Leave a Comment

Louis Pipolo of the Town of Newburgh is getting out of the restaurant business. Pipolo’s joint is Mulino’s, a high-end Italian restaurant in White Plains that counts Yankees manager Joe Girardi among its bold-face clientele.

The news is contained in court papers filed last week by Pipolo’s lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, who asked U.S. District Court Judge Shira Scheindlin to postpone Pipolo’s sentencing on a federal gun-possession charge until next month. She granted the request.

Pipolo was among the men, some of them mobbed up with New York’s Genovese crime family, who were nabbed by the feds last year for the 2003 home-invasion robbery in Montgomery that targeted Orange County Choppers founder Paul Teutel Sr. Pipolo staunchly denied any involvement in organized crime.

The case featured an intersection of Orange County celebrities. Teutel’s the star of the cable TV show “American Chopper,” but Pipolo has his own claim to fame as a nephew of the late Genovese family crime boss Vincent “The Chin” Gigante.
