About us
Frank Falconeri
Born and raised in Queens, New York, Frank Falconeri grew up in a vibrant household shaped by his Sicilian-American heritage and immigrant parents.
What started as a fun hobby—creating a social media page to share memes and spread laughter—quickly grew into something much bigger.
As the page gained popularity, Frank saw an opportunity to give it a meaningful voice. With a passion for storytelling and preserving his cultural roots, he launched a podcast to celebrate the experiences of Sicilian Americans and share the unique perspective of growing up in an immigrant family. Joined by his brother and a close friend, Frank brings humor, heart, and authenticity to every episode, connecting with audiences worldwide who share his love for family, tradition, and good conversation. Through his podcast and platform, Frank continues to honor his heritage while building a community that celebrates culture and identity.
The Team
Queens-born. Sicilian-blooded. Real talk. Real laughs.
“Italians Sicilians Do It Better” is the unapologetically authentic podcast that dives head-first into the old-school, loud, loving, and often hilarious life of growing up Italian-American — Sicilian, to be exact.
Hosted by Frank Diesel, Sicilian Gee, and Marco, this biweekly show blends raw conversations, comedy, and cultural storytelling straight from the heart of New York. Whether it’s sauce on Sunday, nonna’s superstitions, or how “blood isn’t always thicker than loyalty,” no topic is off the table — especially if it’s a table full of pasta and espresso.
Born from a passion for preserving heritage and poking fun at the madness of family life, the show resonates with first-gen Italians, proud descendants, and anyone who’s ever been chased with a sandal or guilted over not calling home enough.
With a loyal and growing audience across Instagram, YouTube, and major podcast platforms, “Italians Sicilians Do It Better” is more than a podcast — it’s a cultural movement wrapped in humor, heart, and a heavy dose of southern Italian pride.
Things I love
With the unwavering support of his wife, Frank has been able to pursue his passions, from hosting a podcast that celebrates his culture to diving into the culinary world by Enza cooking delicious Sicilian dishes that keep tradition alive. Frank also helped Enza & Marco launch their own podcast, Let’s Talk Sauce. Together, they share stories, recipes, and meaningful conversations, blending food, culture, and family in every episode. Frank credits his wife’s encouragement and partnership as the foundation for everything he does, and he’s proud to celebrate their shared journey with the world.
