Johnny Depp in Kingston

During a recent, unannounced visit to Kingston, NY, Johnny Depp appeared in concert  with Jeff Beck during a scheduled concert at UPAC. Hostess Debby from Frank Guido's Little Italy got the chance to meet the A-list actor at the Oct. 13 show.

Frank Guido's stands alone as one of the top Italian restaurants in the Hudson Valley with fine Italian dining in the heart of Kingston. The Guido Family has deep roots in Kingston and a storied history of hospitality dating back 100 years. Frank Guido's Little Italy took to social media to post a photo of hostess Debbie with the A-list actor at the UPAC concert. We're not sure if Mr. Depp stopped by Frank Guido's Little Italy, but one thing is certain, if he had, he would have had some of the best Italian food around.
