Satriale's Pork Store

Satriale's Pork Store is a fictional establishment on the HBO series The Sopranos.[1][2][3][4] During the 1970s, the pork store was taken over by Johnny Soprano, a capo in the DiMeo crime family, when Francis Satriale failed to make payments on a gambling debt. It became a regular hangout for current members of the DiMeo crime family.

The filming location was in Kearny, New Jersey. Satriale's Pork Store was recreated at 42 Market Street in Paterson (40.91517°N, -74.17608°W) in 2019 for the filming of The Many Saints of Newark, a prequel to The Sopranos.[4]
