Book Reviews of Patsy's Cookbook: Classic Italian Recipes from a New York City Landmark Restaurant
Book Review: Fun book, good food... what's wrong with you 2 star people?
Summary: 4 Stars
I grew up in NY, but had never heard of Patsy's. Last week I was in New York for a meeting and was staying on 58th street. I randomly wandered over to Patsy's and was drawn in by the articles in the window and the wall of autographed pictures. Since I was dining alone, I asked if I could borrow a copy of this book to look over. The book is great as a cookbook. The recipes seem easy to follow and have few ingredients that are all easy to come by. But the real fun of the book are the anecdotes between recipes. My favorite was the one about the time Frank allowed someone else to pick up the bill... only for their credit card to get denied. Just wait until you find out who it was... you'll laugh out loud like I did in the middle of the restaurant.

Summary of Patsy's Cookbook: Classic Italian Recipes from a New York City Landmark Restaurant
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 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, Tiramis? . . . 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.
