About Me

Benvenuti! I’m Francesco “Frank” Andolini, an American-Italian chef whose life has always revolved around food. My culinary journey began in my grandmother’s kitchen, where the aromas of simmering sauces and freshly baked bread filled the air. Born and raised in a vibrant Italian-American community, I was surrounded by the traditions and flavors of Italy from an early age.

After years of traveling across Italy, learning from master chefs, and immersing myself in regional cuisines, I decided to create Aperture on Court. This blog is my way of inviting you into my world, where every dish tells a story, and every meal is an experience. From classic recipes passed down through generations to modern twists on traditional favorites, I’m here to guide you in creating authentic Italian dishes at home.

Cooking is more than just a profession for me; it’s a passion and a way of life. I believe that food has the power to bring people together, and I’m dedicated to sharing the joy of Italian cuisine with you. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, my goal is to make Italian cooking accessible, enjoyable, and above all, delicious.

Join me on Aperture on Court as we explore the diverse culinary heritage of Italy, uncover the secrets behind beloved dishes, and celebrate the joys of home-cooked meals. Buon appetito!
