Carolla was born in New Orleans and unlike the son of Carlos Marcello who seemed to have no disposition of joining the mob family that his father had once controlled, Carolla followed in the footsteps of his father in organized crime by joining and eventually becoming the boss of the New Orleans crime family. In 1954, Carolla was arrested on charges of illegal gambling. It wouldn't be until the 1990s that Carolla would finally assume control of the New Orleans crime family following that faithful meeting in New York in 1966.

abstract	Carolla was born in New Orleans and unlike the son of Carlos Marcello who seemed to have no disposition of joining the mob family that his father had once controlled, Carolla followed in the footsteps of his father in organized crime by joining and eventually becoming the boss of the New Orleans crime family. In 1954, Carolla was arrested on charges of illegal gambling. On September 22, 1966, Carolla and other high ranking Mafia members attended a meeting at an Italian restaurant called La Stella, which was located at 102-111 Queens Boulevard in Forrest Hills, Queens, New York. They were gathered around a table in a private dining area in the basement, and while awaiting their first course, New York police raided the building and arrested everyone. There were thirteen of them and all were members of the Mafia. Who had summoned the meeting, and how it was organized and what its purpose was has never been disclosed. The group were all taken to a nearby police station, questioned, searched and then released on personal bail of $100,000 each. Although there has been speculation about why the meeting was called, it has been alleged that it was to resolve matters relating to the New Orleans crime family. Carlos Marcello, the then current boss of New Orleans, sat at the table with his brother Joe, his underboss, along with Carolla and Frank Gagliano, two of his senior family members. Carolla had apparently been seeking a greater share of the New Orleans mob's action, citing seniority within the family and his family birthright. His father had been Sylvestro Carolla, who had run the family until deportation in 1947. Anthony was also apparently seeking approval to take over the New Orleans Mafia when Marcello eventually retired. Apparently the ruling of the meeting favored Marcello. The meeting was referred to by law enforcement and the press at the time as "Little Apalachin". It wouldn't be until the 1990s that Carolla would finally assume control of the New Orleans crime family following that faithful meeting in New York in 1966.
