From the photos of "The Sopranos" crew to the owner's mugshot-style picture outside with the caption "now serving," Gabagool Wine Bar leans into some of the stereotypes about Italian-Americans, which owner Antonio Ninivaggi says are all in good fun.

Originally from Italy, but now living in Stamford, Ninivaggi said his restaurant, formerly known as Toto, has been redesigned and rebranded. "Before, it was a Mediterranean fine dining experience," he said. "Now, it's more simple, more casual with a flair. It has more (New) Jersey-ness."
