Frank’s Place is the latest creation of chef Robert Santomenno Wallace, who honors his grandfather’s name as well as his love of Italy, by way of his culinary talents. Frank Santomenno is an Italian American who came to Panama and became an important businessman known for bringing the first cable TV to the country and have founded REPROSA, a jewelry store that has been open for 45 years.
Robert decided to open Frank’s Place in dedication to him, with a culinary proposal that features some of the family’s recipes that have passed down through generations.
This place enhances the concept of any traditional Italian American restaurant that you will find in New York and Chicago, with a casual atmosphere that evokes the 50s, a real Harley Davisson on the ceiling, photos of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and other less famous personalities hanging on the walls, the staff is dressed like the Mafia and the ambiance makes you feel like in a movie. Soon, there will be a VIP room, like a speakeasy, specially designed for events.
Frank’s Place’s menu is extensive with options for all tastes, including salads, appetizers, sandwiches, main courses with chicken, fish, seafood, and the best cuts of meats, as well as their famous brick-oven pizzas and different kinds of pasta served with homemade sauces prepared with the freshest ingredients and traditional recipes to guarantee an unforgettable and tasty experience.
The intrepid mixology of Frank’s Place has been created to perfectly match the ambiance and decoration with a great variety of whiskey and wines, as well as classic cocktails and signature preparations like the Frank’s Italian Margarita, Big Apple Mojito, Italian Mule, Limoncello Spritz and Cardinale are just some of Frank’s unique creations.
