An East Hampton hospitality locale with frequent turnover has a new tenant.

Frankie’s Fabulous Italiano opened this August at 44 Three Mile Harbor Road, sharing an address with Drai’s East Hampton, a Las Vegas nightclub that opened out east in July 2025.

Last summer, the restaurant space was home to Manhattan transplant Little Charli’s, which shared a space with the nightclub Common Ground East (which relocated this summer to 174 Daniels Hole Road in East Hampton). Previously, El Turco, a trendy Turkish restaurant based in Miami, served hot pink hummus out of the same dining room from 2022 to 2023.

The space itself has a lauded history dating back over five decades, with previous tenants including nightclubs like Leo, Philippe, SL East, NV Tsunami, The Jag, and Mellow Mouth.

Now, the space is split into a nightclub and Italian American eatery for guets to load up on chicken parm and penne alla vodka before dancing the night away.

“Frankie’s Fabulous Italiano is where East Hampton gathers year-round to savor authentic Italian flavors, share wood-fired magic, and celebrate the spirit of the Hamptons, from summer sunsets to autumn harvests, winter warmth, and spring awakenings,” said Frank A. Cilione, owner of Frankie’s, and longtime leader in various concepts previously at 44 Three Mile Harbor Road.

The restaurant centers around a wood-fired oven, to create oblong Roman-style pizzas with three types of sauce (marinara, white, or spicy fra diavolo), all customizable with specialty topping options including burrata, spicy honey, truffle, ricotta, sopressata, portobello mushrooms, and more. A $125 Fabuloso Pizza runs 1 meter long (that’s over three feet, Americans).

Frankie’s Fabulous menu also includes shareable apps, like zucchini chips and fried calamari, plus salads, including the signature house salad mixing romaine with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, artichokes, kalamata olives, and provolone cheese. Pastas are all under $30 and include crowd-pleasers like rigatoni pomodoro, gnocchi in vodka sauce with burrata, and linguine salsiccia with broccoli rabe, fresh garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, parmesan cheese. Heartier main dishes include chicken parmesan, for one, or served family style, and seafood dishes like pan-seared tuna with homemade pesto and cherry tomatoes plus grilled salmon with veg.

A full bar offers classic cocktails, spritzes, beers, and several tiers of wine by the glass or bottle.

Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Parking is also offered on site.

Currently, the restaurant is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday from 5 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. – 10 a.m. Reservations are available for groups of up to 12 via OpenTable. Delivery and pickup orders are offered via UberEats.
