Strict Club, from the series, the shop draws his name from the spot where Tony soprano and his crew hung out often, and it reopened in Manchester in 2024 after Ann. Earlier successful run, it's built up a huge local following, with sandwiches that nod to Italian American flavors from the show. The actors were in town for a live recording of their podcast at the O2 Apollo, wrapping up a short UK tour. They stopped by for lunch, posed for photos with co-owner Sam Gormally right outside the door, and clearly enjoyed the heroes on offer. Shop owners shared the excitement on social media, calling it a full circle moment that still feels surreal. Imperioli even posted about his time in the area on Instagram, adding to the buzz.
