Question on Italian Saying from 1st Season
eb
In the first season episode where the FBI first raids Tony's home, when the head agent, Harris, calls his colleague "Grasso," Tony, livid that an Italian is working for the government against him, points to his groin and insults Grasso in Italian. Does anyone know or remember a translation of what he said?

the kitchen.
Tony doesn't point to his groin, he puts his thumbs and forefingers together
and says, "Te faccio cullo cosi," which means (loosely), "I'll bust your ass
wide open like this."

Grasso mange grasso \ /
Tony points to his crotch and makes a play on words
with the name of the agent something to the effect of
have a bite of my grasso or why don't you bite my grasso
Grasso means `fat man' in Italian.
ie; Grasso suck my big fat dick

Although William Grasso is an underboss in the New England mafia
I don't see there is any direct connection implied to Bulger,
Grasso is a common name.

I still don't exactly remember the moment.

I'm gonna make your asshole this big, and he makes the shape with his
hands.
A very typical Italian phrase which basically is saying, I'd like to
get you good (no sexual overtones, BTW).

My Italian grandmother said it means your face looks like an asshole.

phrase in this case. The word Tony used is faccio from the verb fare -
to make. Faccio in this case means: I make. Face is faccia.

Te facho cullo cozzi. Or something to that effect. Roughly translated it
means to have the face of an ass.

Ti Faccio = I do you
Culo = butt/ass
Cazzi = duragatory word literally meaning "dick/cock" but often used as a point of emphasis at the end of a sentence in a different meaning like "fuck!" "Ass!" Etc
Cosi = "so" or "like so/this"
Thus, the meaning is "I'll do/fuck you in the ass, [like this][fucker][etc]!"

It was season 1 episode 8 "The Legend of Tennessee Moltisanti" 35 minutes 44 seconds in.
The cop named Grasso breaks the dish, Tony says "Grasso" followed by an Italian phrase. What was the phrase, translated in English**? After Tony says the phrase, Grasso yells "Your ass!" and charges at Tony.
So what did Tony say in Italian** that made Grasso say "Your ass!"?
**The translation should make Grasso's response make sense
