Having Words with Frank Scibelli

Frank Scibelli likes to keep it casual. A self-described “jeans and sweaters and T-shirts” guy, Scibelli has carved out a comfortable niche in Charlotte, N.C., where he runs six restaurants representing four diverse brands: Mama Ricotta’s, Big Daddy’s Burger Bar, Cantina 1511 and the new Paco’s Tacos & Tequila, which opened this fall.


While they vary in cuisine and decor, all of his concepts eschew fussiness and finery in favor of affordable global comfort foods and a festive atmosphere.
