From the Restaurant That Frank Sinatra Made FamousOf the thousands of restaurants in New York City, very few withstand the tests of time-and only one can lay claim to being Frank Sinatras 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, Patsys 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 youve come home. And the fare is the classic southern Italian cuisine thats become Americas comfort food: Mussels Arreganata, Fettuccine Alfredo, Rigatoni Sorrentino, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Marsala, Shrimp Scampi, Tiramis . . . a greatest hits of Neapolitan-influenced dishes.And Patsys 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 Annas rather unorthodox autograph request of Sean P. Diddy Combs; and the story of the roast suckling pig delivered to Jackie Gleasons 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. Patsys Cookbook is an invitation to join the extended family thats proud to call Patsys their second home.
