Melissa and Joe Gorga want to dissociate themselves from Gorga’s Homemade Pizza & Pasta.

Page Six exclusively obtained a copy of the cease-and-desist letter the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars sent to their business partners Robert “Bobby” Gaccione Jr., Girolamo “Gerry” D. Cerrigone and Richard “Ricci” Carroll on Wednesday. In the letter, the couple demands their partners refrain from using the Gorgas’ names and images immediately.

They also want their lawyer to be sent “a detailed accounting” of the profit they’ve made using the Gorga name to rebrand their restaurant (which was formerly known as Salugo). They also ask for “the return of [their] initial investment in Salugo” and “damages relating to The Gorga’s infringement and right publicity claims” along with their attorney’s fees.

In the letter, The Berman Law Group claims that Joe, 38, made a “verbal agreement” with his friend Gaccione establishing that “he would be an equal partner in the venture and 50% owner of Salugo,” but the deal went south after the restaurant’s opening.

“Shortly after Salugo opening, Mr. Gorga and Mrs. Gorga started having some serious concerns as to the quality of the food, the service, management and the accounting practices,” it reads. “Mr. Gorga approached Mr. Gaccione and demanded to be included in all business decisions related to Salugo moving forward. Mr. Gaccione ignored Mr. Gorga’s pleas and continued to run Salugo without Mr. Gorga.”

The letter also claims Joe was appalled by the poor health department inspection conducted in July and confronted Gaccione to no avail as “[Gaccione] informed [Joe] that he was not an ‘official partner.'” Gaccione insisted he owned the restaurant with two other partners instead.

Joe also asked him to stop selling bottled pasta sauce over health concerns, but learned that Gaccione only stopped selling the product online and customers could still purchase it in store.

Teresa Giudice‘s brother returned to the restaurant for a “surprise visit” on Nov. 4 and “immediately noticed that Salugo was disorganized,” the letter says. He claimed that the toilet was broken, the restaurant was understaffed and that Gaccione refused to acknowledge his concerns. Instead, he was told that he and Melissa, 38, “should increase the number of Instagram posts referencing Salugo” so they could make a profit.

Finally, “the last straw for the Gorgas was the Groupon and gift certificate embarrassment — Salugo selling Groupons and gift certificates to the public for fifty dollars for one hundred dollars worth of food at Salugo and refusing to honor them.”

On Jan. 10, the couple contacted their partners Gaccione, Cerrigone and Carroll to sever ties, but learned that their name and likeliness continued to be used.

Page Six reported the couple was looking for a new location for their restaurant on Jan. 5.

Joe opened the restaurant in front of cameras in May as a tribute to his late mother, with Melissa telling her husband she wanted to take a back seat to focus on her Envy fashion boutique. Teresa was portrayed on the show as more hands-on with the restaurant and his dad Giancinto was seen helping the chefs.

Sarah M. Cabarcas Osman, the Gorgas’ lawyer, told us that they’ve had “serious issues” with Salugo East Hanover LLC d/b/a Gorga’s Homemade Pizza & Pasta “for months.”

“The Gorgas made it clear to all managing members of Salugo that they were to no longer be associated with the bad business practices occurring at Salugo,” the lawyer said. “For the last several weeks, the Gorgas have demanded that Salugo take down any likeness of their image. The Gorgas were shocked to learn that their family pictures were still being displayed at Salugo as recently as this weekend. The Gorgas have spent years establishing their brand and they take great pride in their family name, image and likeness. Any unauthorized use of their image and likeness can cause irreparable harm to the Gorgas. The Gorgas are dedicated to their fans and apologize for the deception Salugo has caused. Continuing to use the Gorgas’ likeness, even during the finale of this season is malicious on the part of former associates who the Gorgas never wronged.”
