Silvio Manfred Dante portrayed by Steven Van Zandt is a soldier in the Soprano Crew, and later Consigliere of the DiMeo crime Family.


Silvio's day-to-day role is that of managing the Bada Bing, the most recent in a string of strip clubs that he has operated. "The Bing," as members of Tony's crew often refer to their favorite hangout, is not only one of the crime family's major meeting spots, but also doubles as a brothel.
