Founded by two acclaimed New York chefs, Frankies 457 Spuntino offers an honest, skillful, and delicious take on Italian-American cuisine. Frankies 457 Spuntino is often cited as a vital member of Brooklyn’s culinary revitalization and a lasting inspiration for serious chefs to embrace warmth and informality. In 2011, in his final piece as restaurant critic of the New York Times, Sam Sifton declared Frankies 457 Spuntino “the best meal I had on the job.”
