"He has a house in Westerly now so a mutual friend was showing him places that he may like to shop at," owner Bruno Trombino said about the run-in with Schirripa. The two had met briefly at SoupyFest, an annual event in Westerly celebrating the dry-cured, spicy Italian sausage.

Having a shared interest in Italian meats, Trombino showed Schirripa around the facility.

"I gave him a tour, showed him all of our imported products and fresh meats," he said. "He seemed to be impressed with our soupy room and how much product we go through."

Despite the visit being brief, Tony Soprano's former brother-in-law made quite the impression on Trombino.

"He seems like a great down-to-Earth guy," he said.
