As to be expected from an Italian mob figure of Capone’s stature, a lot of his life revolved around entertaining his friends, family, and mobsters with food & drinks. The planning of many criminal events likely occurred around his opulent dinner table.

Born in 1899 to poor immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York, Al Capone went on to become the most infamous gangster in American history. In 1917, he got into a fight at a bar where he was working as a bouncer and was slashed in the face with a knife. This was how he acquired the name "Scarface". In 1920 during the height of Prohibition, Capone's multi-million dollar Chicago bootlegging, prostitution, and gambling operation dominated the organized crime scene. Al Capone is best known for his violence and ruthlessness in the elimination of his rivals.
