Frankies 457 Spuntino Plans a Nashville Outpost




The restaurant group will carry its logo of Brooklyn Italian fare to a new development in East Nashville.

Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli, the owners of Frankies 457 Spuntino in Brooklyn, plan to open a region in Nashville, their first outside new york city.


Mr. Castronovo and Mr. Falcinelli, who became formative years friends in Queens, opened Frankies 457 Spuntino in Carroll Gardens in 2004. in the years because, the proprietors have capitalized on easy Southern Italian meals, increasing that operation with Franks Wine Bar and a slice store referred to as F&F Pizzeria, and dabbling for a time with Germanic fare at top Meats, that is now closed. They also closed their Greenwich Village restaurant, Frankies 570 Spuntino, to open Anton’s with chef Nick Anderer within the same vicinity.


Their Tennessee area is scheduled to open subsequent January as Frankies Spuntino Nashville. it will be the anchor eating place inside the Laurel & Pine development in East Nashville, with a purpose to have stores, eating places, office areas and hundreds of residential devices. Plans for Frankies Spuntino Nashville include an occasion space, an outside patio and a retail space with wines, Italian cured meats and the restaurant’s packaged products, like olive oil.


“We continually attempted to make the greatest neighborhood eating place in the united states, and we are hoping to carry that vibe to East Nashville,” Mr. Falcinelli said.


The expansion turned into caused by way of John Burns Paterson, a partner within the restaurant group. initially born in Montgomery, Ala., in 1987, Mr. Paterson stated he continually desired to transport again to the South and be in the direction of own family. The companions had long kicked across the concept of beginning a restaurant in Nashville, and Mr. Paterson’s flow earlier this year made it legitimate.


“It won’t be a replica-and-paste of Brooklyn,” Mr. Paterson stated. “but we want to take that spirit and convey it here.”
