Old Hollywood Restaurant · Obarrio
The city’s main stage. Every dinner, a private show.
Frank’s Place is a journey to the golden era of the 1950s. Under Chef Robert Santomenno Wallace, Italian-American cooking honors the elegance of Frank Santomenno.
The House
A grandson’s tribute in Panama City.
The story begins with Frank Santomenno, an Italian American who arrived in Panama in the 1960s and became part of the country’s soul. A visionary, he brought computers and cable television to Panama, and in 1975 founded REPROSA Treasures of Panama.
His grandson, Chef Robert Santomenno Wallace, honors that spirit at the stove. Dine in the main salon or on the pet-friendly terrace.
The Kitchen
Signature plates from the family table.
Recipes passed through the Santomenno kitchen — baked pasta, shrimp scampi, and Hollywood meatballs.
Shrimp Scampi
$19Spaghetti in creamy sautéed shrimp and citrus butter, with heat, finished with a prawn.
Hollywood Meatballs
$14Two giant meatballs in pomodoro and creamy mozzarella, gratinéed. Made to share. House bread.
The Set
A dining room from the golden era.
An original 1953 Harley-Davidson — Uncle Archie’s — stands in the room. Hollywood portraits line the walls. The waitstaff dress vintage. You half expect another Frank to walk in singing “My Way.”
Main Salon
The city’s main stage: linen, low light, and a room built for a long dinner.
1953 Harley-Davidson
Archie’s motorcycle, on display — the soul of the 1950s in chrome.
Pet-Friendly Terrace
