Prosecutors dropped attempted murder and other charges against Lucali's chef Mark Iacono and his foe Bettista (Benny) Geritano because neither will rat on the other. Mark Iacono, owner of Lucali pizzeria was knifed by ex-con Benny Geritano, in what may have been an attempted mob shakedown, outside Joe's Superette Deli on Smith Street at about 2:30 p.m April 15. Benny was taken into custody and charged with assault. Geritano's stepfather was Anthony "Shorty" Mascuzzio, a member of John Gotti's inner circle. Mark has been charged with fighting back with a small knife.
