Manhattan Sideways stopped by recently to take some pictures, taste some food, and chat with us about what makes life at Patsy’s Italian Restaurant so special. We were more than happy to spend some time with them, and we couldn’t be more pleased with how beautifully everything turned out! Our Dining Room during Christmas! A great close-up of our Chicken Parm! Everyone loves taking pictures of Sinatra’s statue on our bar!

Hi. We were visiting NYC on the weekend of Dec. 11-13. I tried to make a reservation a few weeks in advance, but was told because it was Frank Sinatra's 100th anniversary birthday, that you were completely booked. We were meeting our friends in NYC that weekend, and or friend, Jim, happens to be related to Frank S. (second cousins, I believe), so I thought it would be fun for him to be at Patsy's the day of the anniversary. We couldn't get a reservation, but we did stop by to ask if we could have at least a drink at the bar to toast ol Frankie. At first they kept saying no, but I guess I begged for just a "quick little drink" and they finally relented. While we were having our drink at the bar, the chef came out and was being interviewed by a TV person. He also brought out a very nice cake with Happy 100th Blue Eyes on it. I told the chef that our friend was related to Frank and we were there for a quick toast. The chef was busy, but took a moment to tell Jim that he was happy to meet him. That was very nice of him, as it was a little acknowledgment for Jim as a relative of Franks. After all, how many people are actually related to Frank Sinatra! The chef also caught us as we were leaving the restaurant and gave us a little Frank Sinatra pin and asked us to come back.

Patsy's... just the Best of the Best. I now understand why Francis Albert, Frankie and Tina raved about this restaurant. When Frank learned of my west coast Palm Springs connection, he and cousin Sal treated me like La Famiglia. Pino and the staff are right on top of everything. Frank and Sal...I cannot wait to return. Buono Fortuna. GRAZIE !! 610-372-4750

My first visit was in 1947 as a youngster with my Uncle who was head of photography for Hearst.Moved to Miami 20 years ago and always spend one night when we return to NYC.Tonight I shared all my memories with my 9 year old Grandchild.Bottom line food like my grandmother cooked.Great place to go back in time and even better if you are Italian from the Bronx.

My husband & I met Sal at a wine tasting at the Montclair Golf Club in Montclair, N.J. a couple of months ago, when he prepared some of his wonderful dishes, & we had the opportunity to purchase his cookbook. I was particularly excdited to meet him, as my maternal grandmother's maiden name was Scognamiglio, & she emigrated to the U.S. from Naples, Italy in the early l900s. I showed Sal her immigration papers & explained that I had been told that the family changed the spelling of the last name at the time they came through Ellis Island. We both wondered if perhaps we ARE long lost cousins. Today, I will be calling the restaurant to make a reservation for myself, husband & two friends for June 9th, 2016. Am eager to experience Patsy's food again, & the restaurant that I've only heard wonderful things about. Lynn Baletti

My son is flying me to NYC for my first visit there. I have both your cookbooks and have really looked forward to eating at Patsys. I will arrive July 14, 2016 and stay at the London Hotel. I wonder is it too late to book a reservation at Patsys on the 15th?

Came in for lunch today, food was OUTSTANDING, as usual. I brought my sister and her son from Atlanta, they thought it was AMAZING. HOWEVER the highlight was I bought a cookbook for my daughter, asked if Sal would sign it. Not only did he come out and sign it, he took pictures with my daughter and my nephew. He then came out a second time from the kitchen to see how everything was. He is a class act! The wait staff was superb and Pino was awesome! Can't wait to come back.

We have dined at Patsy's dozens of times, including tonight. Whenever we go, I make a point of telling the people sitting at the table where I proposed to my girlfriend (now wife of 24 years) the story about how Tony Bennett was in the restaurant that evening, and gave my fiancé of three minutes a hug and a good luck kiss, and how Tommy Matola (whom I did not know at the time) invited us to his table for a bottle of Dom Perignon after witnessing my successful marriage proposal at the next table. The patron dining at the lucky table tonight was Tony Danza. Another great Patsy's memory to go with another spectacular Patsy's meal!

Can't wait to come back to Patsy's and to see Chef Sal once again. This time we are bringing my husband's brothers. We told them how wonderful the food and atmosphere are. The last time we were there Chef Sal came out, signed my husband's book and then they chatted about Sinatra, recipes and the restaurant business. My husband is a chef as well and they had much to talk about. We are so excited to celebrate the Christmas season and a few December birthday's at Patsy's!! See you soon!!!

On our last visit (which is ALWAYS wonderful) we couldn't help but notice that Jackie Mason was just two tables away. Afterward, we were outside waiting for a passing cab. After 5 minutes, one pulled up to discharge it's passengers. A rather distinguished looking gentleman got out, held the door for us and starting singing about the wonderfulness of Patsy's at the top of his lungs. I hope he had as great a time and meal as we did. Thank you, Sal, and the entire team. I tell EVERYONE at work about what a great place it is. And I keep the cookbook on my desk for casual reading. We can't say enough.

Our first time visiting NYC (from California) and had a great dinner at Patsy's. Our son Santino ordered the spaghetti w/meatballs. Something as simple as a meatball tasted so good, moist and fresh. Everything was fantastic and the staff friendly. If we ever go back to NYC we're eating at Patsy's again. Sal, I gotta have that meatball recipe !

Vinny was our waiter that night and we always request him each year when we visit NYC at Christmas time. The food is always fabulous, my mouth is watering right now.

I’m not famousand not important. We now live in NC and get to the City four or five times a year now. We ALWAYS make a reservation at Patsy’s. I don’t know why, but we are always treated like we are familiar. It is nice to feel welcomed to a place that we enjoy for comfort food. We always leave feeling that Patsy’s appreciated our business. We always ask for the fried zucchini flowers as a starter, by the way. Sometimes we are very lucky and they have them- even though they are rarely on the

I took my mother Anne to a revival of 42nd Street for her75th....she is the oldest living bobby soxer I know! She had asked if we could go to Patsys "Frank's favorite restaurant" so we did. I cannot tell you how kind this family was to her when they found out it was her birthday...she got an autographed cookbook and Sal took her on a tour of Franks private dining room not open to the public...where he often hosted private parties. This made her day! Mom passed a year ago today at 89 and I know this experience was one of her best memories ever! Grazia.....

We had dinner at the restaurant on December 6th, 2022 for the first time and we were so thrilled. Lavon, one never shy got to speak with chef Sal who encouraged her to walk around and look at the restaurant, which she did. She had the fettuccine Alfredo and she ate all of it and what you have to understand is she never finishes a meal, she said it was the best meal she ever had. I know she told chef Sal that as well, next time we are in NYC we are absolutely going to have dinner at Patsy's
