Valentino's was a nightclub in Brooklyn owned by the glamourous Mona Scarletti, however it was immediately seized on opening by Tony Tattaglia, who initiated a brothel in the backrooms of the club in exchange for protection. Unlike most Tattaglia businesses, this brothel was notoriously difficult to infiltrate (or rather, to leave it alive again).

However in 1945, Aldo Trapani managed to forcefully gain an audience with Tattaglia, and after some force, the club became property of the Corleone family. (Maximum protection of proprietor is $2245).

History:[]

Tony "Two Times" Tattaglia is a distant relation of the Family. His nickname stems not from a verbal inflection or tick, but because of the ease in which marked men can enter this nightclub and brothel, and the difficulty of them exiting in one piece, and with all organs intact.
