Frank Falcinelli loves music and the people who make it. He opened F&F restaurant with Frank Castronovo 21 years ago. Together, they’ve used the varied space to welcome both touring bands, and musicians who might not always have the cash to enjoy a nice meal.
Comfortable. Approachable. Delicious.
Not only is music evident in their clientele, it’s on the walls. Their playlists are important, and push beyond what's expected of ambient music. The inspiration has always been to try and play what influences the people they love.
Weight and electricity
A busy and varied restaurant means whatever sound system they work with needs to have volume over loudness. It needs to be considerate of the diner’s conversation while being heard above a crowd. This odd-shaped space is covered in hard surfaces, so it’s a fine balancing act to achieve the perfect sound.
“They’re in the line of sight everywhere. So, people ask about the speakers all the time. “
The space is fitted out with a mixture of Acton III, Stanmore III, and Woburn III, giving them the perfect audio spread to match the room they’re inside. The dongle connects the speakers to each other, so the music is coordinated, and no corner is left without accompaniment.
