Frank Prisinzano Recipes
Frank Prisinzano has been an iconic presence in the New York food and music scene since the 90s. His restaurant Frank is a staple of the East Village, and one of the best casual Italian restaurants in the city.
His recipes are defined by their rustic Italian style and rely on the simple composition of classic ingredients to create bold and hearty flavors.
He doesn’t formally publish his recipes but he has an amazing presence on Instagram and Tumblr, and often shares live videos of him preparing his classic Italian dishes while still showcasing his improvizational, spontaneous nature.
