Nicodemo Salvatore "Nicky" Scarfo Jr.[1] (born June 9, 1965), sometimes known by the nicknames "Junior", "Nick Promo", and "Mr. Apple" is an American mobster and a member of the Lucchese crime family.[2] Scarfo Jr. is the son of former Philadelphia crime family boss Nicodemo "Little Nicky" Scarfo Sr.

Scarfo Jr. was the victim of a notorious assassination attempt by a masked gunman on Halloween in 1989. The attempted hit, by a gunman wearing a Batman mask,[3] occurred at Dante and Luigi's,[4] an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[5] After the murder attempt his father arranged for him to be inducted into the Lucchese crime family in the mid-1990s. Scarfo Jr. became the caporegime of the Lucchese family's Jersey Crew in the early 2000s before getting arrested.
