Giacomo Amato

Giacomo Amato is a Sicilian-American storyteller who brings to life the untold stories of New York's underworld with grit, authenticity, and heart. Growing up in Queens and Brooklyn during the Mafia's most powerful years. Giacomo witnessed firsthand the code of loyalty, betrayal, and survival that defined the streets.

His debut memoir, Making My Bones with the Mafia, shook readers with its raw honesty and streetwise grit. Now, with The 80s New Mobsters NYC, Giacomo delivers the next chapter in his journey, more calculated, more powerful, and more personal than ever. These aren’t fictionalized tales or secondhand accounts, they’re lived experiences from a man who stood in rooms where legends made moves and lives were changed with a glance.

Giacomo writes for those who know the code and those who want to understand it. His words carry the weight of real scars, real silence, and real consequences. With no interest in glamorizing the life, he tells it straight: the pain, the pride, and the price of doing things your own way.

When he's not writing, Giacomo remains dedicated to sharing his truth, breaking the myths of organized crime, and showing what it means to survive without selling your soul.

Follow his work, read his journey, and remember, he didn’t choose the streets, but he damn sure survived them. Engrossing and Insightful- mob stories in New York City.
