FYI, Michael Costa and his sidekick Brian Luisi have resurfaced at Sneaky Pete’s in Lewisville. According to a nice gentleman who just answered the phone at Sneaky Pete’s, the duo has been hired as consultants.

The last time I was there, that place was full of white trash and strippers and reaked of sleeze. He’ll fit right in.

Their first recomendation – Change name to Sneaky Costa’s.

What a shame. I’ve always liked the atmosphere at Sneaky Pete’s (though not necessarily the food).

I have enjoyed Sneaky Petes on three different occassions and was planning on returning. This news is concerns me and I don’t know if I will ever be able to take my picture with Captain Morgan again. I have been following the Costa articles and this does not represent our industry well. I would urge the Sneak Pete’s owners to seek alternative advice.

As a current employee, I can tell you that we are already on top of it… If you’d like to like to try n help, be creative and stop this!

Because of The Office Grill disaster: 05/10/2012 Arraignment Hearing is being held for Costa. 05/14/2012 Jury Trial is scheduled. It is all public record http://apps.collincountytx.gov/cccasesearch/Search.aspx
He screws over everybody he comes into contact with! He is a true sociopath. We can only hope, THIS time karma has finally caught up with him.

They better hurry and dump these two monkey’s they are about to get into the busy season. I’m sure they have already figured out how to empty the safe and by pass the alarm.
Good lord really you have to be an idiot to hire these guys.. Come pull your head out it’s all over I mean everybody knows about this.

Put a camera in the bar. You can catch him drinking in the morning before anyone gets there

Check the pos system, sure they know how to by pass and void sales

WHY??? Sneaky pete’s isn’t my kind of place, but i thought they did pretty well. Why would they feel the need to hire consultants…especially these two?
@ 7:14 pm on April 11, 2012
They will have a hard time trying to pull any of their usual stuff. They will have no access to any book keeping.
Too many people have their eyes on them. Plus the local TABC agent has been informed of these 2 clowns and what they have done in the past. She will be keeping an eye on them.
@ 3:31 pm on April 12, 2012
So all this being said why in the hell is Nick keeping them around.
@ 7:58 pm on April 13, 2012
Who knows?
@ 7:14 pm on April 14, 2012
First off, you should not be posting your name if you work at Sneaky Pete’s. You’re only setting yourself up to get fired!! Second, both these guys have been hired on as managers, Costa being the new GM. It’s almost like the owner is purposefully trying to run the place into the ground.
@ 12:13 am on April 16, 2012
What happened to GM that was there? Obviously someone didn’t do their homework before doing business with this pathological crook and his cronie. Sounds like Costa has found another sucker.
@ 1:18 pm on April 16, 2012
The owner knows. The staff has complained.
He doesn’t care.
