In May 2007, Esposito filed for a divorce that was finalized in November.
That said, it
is always possible the Queen really did order such a dish from Esposito.
Instead we saw glimpses of Carl Weathers, Gina Carano, and Giancarlo Esposito as the officer heading up the Deathtroopers.
Unfortunately upon closer scrutiny, Raffaele Esposito received the aforementioned permission in 1871 for a shop that sold wine,
rather than a pizzeria.
The Queen loved it so much that she popularized it among the elite, with the chef himself naming that particular pizza after her- hence,
Pizza Margherita and Esposito often being dubbed the“father of modern pizza”….
Who did was Esposito's brother-in-law's sons who took over Esposito's restaurant in 1932 and renamed
it from“Pizzeria of the Queen of Italy”(the name Esposito gave it over a decade before the supposed Queen event) to Pizzeria Brandi.
As evidence to support this event having actually occurred, a thank you letter from the Queen herself with the official royal seal is still on display to this day at Pizzeria Brandi,
once owned by the descendants of Esposito.
The film stars George Clooney(who also co-produced) as Lee Gates, a TV personality who advises his audience on financial investment and speculation on the New York stock markets and who is forcefully interrogated by Kyle Budwell(Jack O'Connell), a grief-stricken bankrupt viewer who lost his money after a previous tip; the film also
stars Julia Roberts, Giancarlo Esposito, Dominic West and Caitriona Balfe.
