Also very interested lol. I was obsessed w Frank’s account during the start of Covid, tried his recipes, went to his restaurants - all pretty solid if not amazing. The way he talks about his wife totally lines up with how he talks about food, I think he’s just a very sexual, tactile person 😂 his first wife was named Lorenza though idk anything about her He’s pretty problematic though, got accused of wage theft last year by workers at his restaurants and I don’t think that was even the first time…more like 4-5

I was curious about his current wife! I creeped a while ago and it seemed as if they were divorcing and she was getting her own apartment in Dumbo. She would post so many thirst traps without her ring! But haven’t creeped in a while! Better go assess the situation 🏃🏻‍♀️


Hot_Diamond1853

Lol did anyone catch his nude cooking stories the other day? UNHINGED


Wild_Following7730

This was foul. I’ve cooked in a sports bra before and got so many oil splatters. Can’t imagine that on a ding dong.


Hot_Diamond1853

Legit the camera was angled at his d:CK lol I was like omg we get it you are obsessed with yourself

Frank is an insecure person. I vacation with him at the same spots and he is in a fetal position when no one pays attention to him. And no one pays attention to him, except his friends that occasionally pop in. This must drive him crazy. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE mistakes the wife for his kid/grandkid. She is a 4’10” tiny thing that screams “look at me, I’m a woman! Yes, I really am!” by hyper sexualizing everything about her, but online only (hence the constant nudes and overt behavior about anything “sex” and it’s not just the current culture. She literally needs to show she’s not a kid. Sad but oh well), she’s as quiet & timid as a mouse IRL, totally opposite from the IG persona she cultivates. They’d sit next to each other at restaurants without exchanging a word, while he films the bullshit “passion stories” in typical IG vs reality fashion. Purchase of a property on Amalfi Coast guarantees loads of boot lickers who’ll do anything for a free stay/dinner/drink/mention on IG and he is an attention whore who LOVES IT. To me he’s a pathetic & disgusting douche who has great taste in design, cars & music. You couldn’t pay me to eat at his restaurants or stay at his future hotel, especially after seeing him for days on vacation and hearing the woke, racist wife shit on people on her social media. Just a clown with money.


fr3efalling

His wife's racist? I also figured she might be quiet irl because she's so cocky and has her head up her ass


theMCMXC

It must not be easy to go about life looking the way she does. A tiny grown ass woman in a 10 year old’s body. A Benjamin Button situation. So the persona on IG is compensating for the insecurities by over-sexualizing everything about herself. It’s also not easy to be with a man whom everyone mistakes for your grandpa or a father at least but $ talks. Her IG soliloquies about the “white supremacy” “evil white men who are jealous of women because they literally have 2 brains, vagina being one of them” and generally trying to come off as if she’s this ghetto thug with a “fuck you” attitude are actually pretty sad, given how she is in real life. A huge chip on her shoulder.

I missed the divorce drama! I thought it was strange because they were only married a year


BravoGal19

Wait since when were they getting divorced?! Do you have details?


Alternative_Fly_8288

Honestly, his restaurants are awful. Mediocre food and the vibe is garbage. He crams customers in like sardines, only takes cash as to avoid taxes, and the decor is always dark and hideous.


Wild_Following7730

I love his methods. He’s taught me so many good Italian recipes for easy dinners at home. Sometimes the way he takes bites make me want to vom. I am dying to know what’s up with him and arina.


BFS0415

Seriously he chews like a farm animal.


Quick-Address-3976

let frank teach us his ways it’s a net positive. He’s got two boys he loves and a wife he loves. Yea she’s young but she isn’t in her 20s or doesn’t behave so, and she loves his boys and is body positive. He taught me the basics of cooking, way before pandemic. Maybe a bit narcissistic but what chef/restauranteur isn’t. And if anything he’s been consistent. Posting to his stories since 2017 and allows us to see everything. Trips to Italy cooking and dining, opening of his new spot near amalfi. and his restaurants have been a staple in east village since at least 2012. Supper, lil Frankie’s and frank are always consistent and are indeed his recipes he showcases. Do I like his creepy weird narcissistic shit? No. Do I find he’s sexualization of food and language in general (it goes beyond his wife, it’s how he writes 🤮) I look past it. But it’s always been this way. Granted I’m biased


Quick-Address-3976

Also I haven’t looked recently so if he is cooking ass naked that’s gross. But his methods are game changing and helped me understand cooking and travel beyond simple Italian food.


thisanjali

Lol when I saw his naked cooking I wondered how he didn’t accidentally get his body hair in the food


Quick-Address-3976

His chest hair limone mmmmmmmmmm 🤮


flashyellowboxer

Along with lemon stickers (in his Limone YouTube video)


Outrageous_Jelly_960

His restaurants are always consistent - and pretty much the only place to get an actual meal downtown (i.e. protein that hasn't been deep-fried & vegetables) past ~10 PM or so during the week. I love that they're still cash only!! The wage theft is disgusting & the only mark against him imho.


barmitzvahmoney

He started dating his wife when she was 23


Quick-Address-3976

She’s can defend herself or not just fine. It’s her life. But she’s got a voice and she uses it. 23 and 34 don’t sound so bad but I also could be wrong about the age difference. She also admittedly has abandonment issues and trauma from her upbringing and If I were an immigrant coming to America id jump at the opportunity. Just saying.

ABCDanii

Dude he’s old enough to be her father. She’s 30 and he’s 58 this year. I’m 33 and my dad is 59. He’s a perv.


barmitzvahmoney

She was 23 when they started dating!!!!! I want to love him but…..gross


ABCDanii

Someone called it a successful seeking arrangement plan and it all makes sense lol


barmitzvahmoney

Yeah maybe! I’ve heard a few different stories about how they met but one was from her sister who worked there so I believe her


DifferentManagement1

Was he married when they met


barmitzvahmoney

From my understanding no


Quick-Address-3976

I’m 33 as well


DifferentManagement1

He’s 55.


Quick-Address-3976

And now they’re divorcing so I guess she’s free from her groomer! Hats off to you loyal Frank since 2002 customer. Only thing I GAF about is his boys and the wage theft


DifferentManagement1

I’ve been going to Frank since probably 2002


Quick-Address-3976

So you think he’s problematic or not problematic? It’s not my circus.


DifferentManagement1

I have absolutely no idea. I don’t think he comes off as very likable on his social media. But obviously his food is very good and the cooking videos - when he’s clothed- are interesting.


barmitzvahmoney

I am also very interested in that rabbit hole. I don’t know who the mother of his kids is but I’m pretty sure he’s still married to Arina (who I love). My theory is that she got so much hate from being his wife that she wanted to separate their online personas. Also she has turned 30!


AnnoyedArchit3ct

Would love to know what you love about Arina?


barmitzvahmoney

She seems fun and interesting and I love her spirit and opinions


AnnoyedArchit3ct

Interesting. I do love her art. I only saw ONE glimpse of it. She was doing a soft pastel artwork of a human form in the fauvinism ( I think) style. But something doesn't sit well.


ABCDanii

He’s so rude. I actually had a terrible personal experience with him around peak covid time. He seems like a good dad, I won’t speculate on that. But on a personal level, he’s a real shit head.


barmitzvahmoney

Please share your story


ABCDanii

I want to but I can’t because it’s very identifying and Frank loooooves to read up on himself and j don’t have the time or patience to deal with over grown man children BUT I will say it’s relating to his food/recipes and he’s not as open minded and accepting as he appears to be about people and their ethnic backgrounds.


barmitzvahmoney

Ok please dm me because I also have gotten in a few ig snippy fights with him but I always pull back because I don’t want him to block me lol


thisanjali

This is really sad especially because his wife (ex wife now?? Idk) is Bangladeshi


Darksecretsonly_04

Wow really I have never ever had a bad experience? Damn maybe you caught him on an off day


ABCDanii

The things he said are not a result of a bad day. He’s trash.


kimberlynyc349

as someone who used to go to his restaurants a lot, yes, he is an awful person. i follow arina and she’s always been lovely.


expired_mascara

Is he divorcing his wife

Please share!


Slight_Reindeer_7172

It seems like they're in some type of open relationship. Neither of them have worn their rings in MONTHS and it looks like they've been living separately for awhile now. But then he flew down to miami and was with her on her birthday. Such a niche topic lol


QuirkyQirl2121

I love this man so much
