Marco's Bistro



Marco's Bistro is a restaurant located in Saint Mark's, Portland, Liberty City. It is featured in GTA III, GTA Liberty City Stories and (briefly) in GTA San Andreas.

The restaurant was most likely a shared turf by the Leone's and the Forelli family. In GTA San Andreas in 1992, Salvatore Leone, don of Leone family ordered ally, Carl Johnson to kill a high ranking Forelli gang member in the mission Saint Mark's Bistro.

By 1998, the front is owned by the Leone's as they are the only Mafia family controlling the areas surrounding Saint Mark's in GTA Liberty City Stories. The Forelli's main base is the Little Italy district in Fort Staunton.

In 2001, where GTA III takes place, the Forelli's are weakened considerably and instead known as the Forelli brothers. During the same time, their only known front is Marco's Bistro, noted as Mike "Lips" Forelli (the speculated don) is seen there.

Under orders of Joey Leone, Mike's car gets rigged with a bomb set by Claude, killing him, and the Forelli's most likely cease to exist. Meanwhile the Leone's took the restaurant back.

The restaurant's slogan in Grand Theft Auto III is "Eat till you explode!", an ironic reference to Mike Forelli's death.
