Restaurateur and owner of Sociale Brooklyn, Francesco Nuccitelli, joins the show. Francesco starts off by telling a story of how he became a restaurant owner, from his origins in Italy to new beginnings in the Big Apple. While experiencing culture shock in America was tough for Francesco, he never gave up his dream of owning a restaurant. After a few years working for a hot spot in midtown, he finally opened up Sociale in Brooklyn Heights. Francesco talks about the process of opening his restaurant, why he chose the neighborhood, and how the community has became one of the biggest reasons for Sociale’s success.
