PATSY’S “Franks Favorite Restaurant”

Frank’s Favorite Restaurant in The World, was Patsy’s on West 56th Street in New York, in The Theater District near Times Square .. Frank’s Favorites were; Calms Posillipo, Spaghetti Pomodoro, Veal Milanes (extra Thin & Crispy) and Spaghetti & Meatballs of which patsy’s makes The Best in The City ..

PATSY’S is by far the restaurant most associated with SINATRA — on its website, the restaurant notes that it “has been known for years as the restaurant Frank Sinatra made famous.” You can still order up old-school Italian there, but you might not have the exact same experience as Sinatra, who was said to have entered through a special door to sit at a reserved table on the second floor. Sinatra became especially loyal to the restaurant after making a solo Thanksgiving reservation one year, not realizing the restaurant was slated to be closed that day. Patsy Scognamillo didn’t want to turn Sinatra away, so he allowed the reservation. He also didn’t want Sinatra to know the restaurant was opened just for him — so he had the entire staff bring their families to fill the place up, something Sinatra didn’t learn until years later, according to Patsy’s lore. The restaurant still celebrates its connection to Sinatra: At right, in 2002, Joe Scognamillo served actor Bill Boggs, who had dressed up as Sinatra . (236 West 56th St.)

Spaghetti Meatballs alla Sinatra – Nancy Barbato Sinatra Recipe

On December 30, 2024 By Daniel BellinoLeave a comment

NANCY BARBATO SINATRA

SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS

From the WFBL COOK BOOK OF THE STARS

FRANK SINATRA Born in Hoboken, Frank was an only son. His mother came to this country from Genoa and father from Sicily. As a lad, Frank had always been crazy about music, but his parents failed to share his enthusiasm of making a career of it. His first singing spot was with Harry James, then Tommy Dorsey. The turning point in Frank Sinatra’s career came in January, 1943, when he signed for a series of personal appearances at New York’s Paramount Theater. Then and there, he became “The Voice.” Sinatra’s slight build is kept in hard trim by his prowess at boxing, golf and bowling.

MRS. FRANK SINATRA’S RECIPE FOR SPAGHETTI AND MEAT BALLS

MEAT BALLS –

1 lb. chopped meat, 1/2 pork, 1/2 beef

1 clove garlic (chopped fine)

1/2 cup grated Italian cheese

1 cup bread crumbs

1 teaspoon finely chopped parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

(Mix all well, form into balls, brown in oil and put aside until sauce is made.)

SAUCE

1 large can Italian style tomatoes

1 can tomato puree

1 small onion

1 clove garlic

1 teaspoon ground parsley

1/2 cup olive oil

Thyme

Salt

Black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Brown chopped up onion and garlic in oil in which you brown meat balls. Strain tomatoes, add puree to the juice. Add the oil in which you have browned onion and garlic, but remove all sauteed ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, thyme and parsley. Cook the sauce (covered) for 1 hour, with meatballs added, over a slow fire.

Boil spaghetti in water, salted to taste. Remove spaghetti, drain. Serve it on a platter over which you have poured sauce and meat balls. Add layer of cheese, and add full covering of sauce, add another layer of cheese and another layer of sauce. Serve piping hot.

Above, you have the SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS Recipe of Nancy Sinatra. Nancy Barbato Sinatra, Frank’s wife, not his daughter Nancy.

In the book “Sinatra Sauce,” along with many other recipes is another Spaghetti & Meatballs recipe, but not Frank’s wife Nancy, but his mother Dolly’s recipe. Both are excellent, we’re sure you will agree. If you want to know more of Frank Sinatra, the foods he loved, and grew up with in the Italian Enclave in Hoboken, New Jersey, along with all of Frank’s favourite dishes and restaurants around the country and the World. Dishes like Chicken Vesuvius of Chicago, BBQ Ribs from The Anchor Bar in Chicago, Veal Milanese and Clams Posillipo from “Patsy’s Restaurant” in New York, and Frank’s afternoon Egg Sandwich in Palm Springs, California.

No, there is no denying, Frank Sinatra was one of the greatest singers of the 20th Century, if not the single best. Yes, but we’re not talking about that here. This book is all about Sinatra and Food. Italian Food to be more specific, and the dishes that Frank Sinatra liked best. Tasty Italian Dishes from his childhood in Hoboken, New Jersey. We are talking Eggplant Parmigiana, Lasagna, Spaghetti & Meatballs here. Dishes made by Frank’s mom Dolly, and his father as well. Yes his father, Martino Sinatra, born in Lercarra Friday, Sicily was quite the good cook as well, and would cook for the family as well. Martino (aka Marty) made Sicilian dishes like Italian Wedding Pasta (Ziti al Forno), Eggplant Parmigiana, and Marty’s Meatloaf. Dolly on the other hand, made Minestrone Genovese, and her famous Spaghetti & Meatballs, along with a host of other Italian favourites.

Later in life, as Frank’s Star rose and he went out into the World, he acquired a taste for others of his lifelong favourites, like: BBQ Ribs at Twin Anchors, in Chicago, Chicken Vesuvius, Steak, and Braised Beef Short Ribs at Lord Fletchers in Palm Springs.

You will; find Sinatra Sauce quite inspirational as read stories of Mr. Sinatra at Jilly’s in New York, The 21 Club, Gino’s, Patsy’s Pizzeria (East Harlem) and Patsy’s Restaurant on West 56th Street in Manhattan where Frank loved to eat Clams Posillipo and Veal Milanese (thin & crispy).

Want to get inspired to eat like Sinatra, have Sinatra Parties, and live the good life. It’s all in the book, recipes and stories of Frank, eating drinking, and being merry. For Sinatra did not just sing. He Loved, and he enjoyed life to its fullest.

Frank Sinatra loved dining and entertaining friends. His dinner parties are legendary, whether at home or out in a restaurant. It was always a good time with Frank, who gathered friends and family, at the table, they ate drank, and were all merry. So, if you want to do the same, invite some friends over, pick out a recipe, put on some Sinatra (records), cook, eat, and have the time of your life. Just like Frank.
