Bartender / Server

Two of New York City’s most beloved chefs—so beloved that you don’t need to use their last names for people who care about food in town to know who you are talking about, they’e just The Franks—have brought their most legendary concept, the modern Italian-American restaurant Frankies Spuntino, to Nashville, the most exciting food scene in the United States.

A New York City classic, Frankies 457 Spuntino has served impossibly delicious, effortlessly elegant takes on Italian-American cuisine for nearly two decades. It’s a place noted for its warmth, kindness, and feeling—a reflection of its beloved chef-owners, Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli. New York Times editor Sam Sifton, in his final review as restaurant critic for the paper, wrote, “The best meal I had on the job? It was in the garden of Frankies 457 on a summer evening. Nothing was wrong. Everything was right. It would have been nice if it could have gone on forever.”
