THE GUNMAN WHO shot up a mob-linked Brooklyn restaurant wore a fedora and a waist-length coat, police said Saturday.

The triggerman was caught on surveillan­ce footage walking toward the Marco Polo Ristorante on Court St. and Union St. in Carroll Gardens moments before the gunfire at 6 a.m. on Feb. 25., cops said.

Several bullet fragments were found inside the eatery, cops said. No neighborin­g businesses were hit, leading investigat­ors to believe the place was targeted.

Police were notified three hours after the gunshots when an employee showed up for a shift and noticed the damage.

The gunman is described as a thin white man, about 6’2’’. He was wearing a dark-colored jacket and light-colored pants, police said.

In 2008, restaurant owner Joseph (Marco Polo) Chirico, a reputed Gambino soldier, was busted in a sweeping mob indictment.

He got a slap on the wrist — six months of house arrest for money laundering and permission to spend 10 hours a day at his restaurant.
