Francesco 'Frank' Aufiero
Francesco "Frank" Aufiero, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family, on October 29, 2024 at his Manhattan home at the age of 99.
Born in 1925 in Pagani, Italy, near Salerno, Frank was the youngest of four children in a family that had migrated from New Haven, Connecticut, back to Italy. His parents opened a tomato factory in Pagani, where Frank spent his formative years against the backdrop of World War II. In 1959 he emigrated to America, and became an integral part and co-owner of his brother's restaurant, Il Monsignore, located on East 55th Street, which quickly gained a celebrity following.
Known for his kindness, generosity and quick wit, Frank was loved by people of all ages. Frank rarely complained, never dwelled on the hard parts of life, and had a fantastic sense of humor. He loved nothing more than being with his family, especially his daughter and granddaughter, cooking and sharing meals, laughing, walking around New York City, tracking the stock market, trying new restaurants, and of course, enjoying a good plate of linguine alle vongole.
Frank was predeceased by his parents Oreste and Clelia, a brother Vincent “Jimmy” and sisters Matilde DeFelice and Rachele. Frank is survived by his adoring family: wife, Dalva, daughter, Janaina Aufiero Biolsi (Harry), granddaughter Julia, niece Jessica and grand-niece Ava, sister-in-law Elizabeth, and many beloved nieces and nephews in Italy.
The funeral will be held Monday, November 4, 2024 at St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church at 10 am.
En Lieu of Flowers Please Donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
