The Italian restaurant has taken down all social media posts promoting the event.

Gotti Italiano had put up a Facebook post promoting the event, titled Hip Hop Mafioso, in the days leading up to the March 8 event.

In a Facebook post on March 8, Ambassador Dante Brandi said that the mafia is not something Italy is proud of. “Gotti” is commonly associated with American crime boss John Gotti, who was the head of the notorious Gambino crime family in New York City. In 1992, he was convicted of five murders, conspiracy to commit murder, racketeering and extortion, among other crimes. He died in prison in 2002, after being diagnosed with throat cancer.
