From the Restaurant That Frank Sinatra Made Famous
Of the thousands of restaurants in New York City, very few withstand the tests of time--and only one can lay claim to being Frank Sinatra's favorite. And where Frank went, his friends followed--from close pals such as Tony Bennett and fellow Rat Packers Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. to the show-biz colleagues they brought in.
Established nearly sixty years ago, Patsy's has long been a celebrity favorite and a New York institution. Why? Great food, family friendliness, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you've come home. And the fare is the classic southern Italian cuisine that's become America's comfort food: Mussels Arreganata, Fettuccine Alfredo, Rigatoni Sorrentino, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Marsala, Shrimp Scampi, Tiramisu... a greatest hits of Neapolitan-influenced dishes.
And Patsy's Cookbook provides more than recipes: also in the mix are anecdotes from family and friends, including the occasion when Pablo Picasso tried to give Patsy a painting; the time that the restaurant opened on Thanksgiving Day just for Frank Sinatra; Aunt Anna's rather unorthodox autograph request of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs; and the story of the roast suckling pig delivered to Jackie Gleason's hotel suite.
Here is a remarkable collection of 100 perfectly executed, delicious recipes, heartwarming stories of a successful family business, and entertaining celebrity tales, capturing the full experience of a New York City institution. Patsy's Cookbook is an invitation to join the extended family that's proud to call Patsy's their second home.
