Galante surely expected his Sicilian-born bodyguard to come to his aid with guns blazing. But Amato knew the wiser course of action. They were based at Caffe Giannini , a Ridgewood, Queens coffee shop that Amato owned for four years.

DiFalco was found shot to death in the trunk of a stolen car in March, 1992.
