Since 1944, Patsy's has been a traditional, family-owned and operated Italian restaurant located in Manhattan. Founded by Pasquale 'Patsy' Scognamillo, Patsy's Italian Restaurant has been at its current and only theater district location (in the building just next to the original site) since 1954. Celebrating its 72nd anniversary this year, the restaurant has had only three chefs: the late Patsy himself, his son Joe Scognamillo, who has been at the establishment since the tender age of seven, and Joe's son Sal Scognamillo, who has been manning the kitchen for the past 30 years.

Patsy's Italian Restaurant attracts a varied clientele, including an extremely loyal following of regular patrons, Italian food aficionados, tourists, and celebrities. They enjoy the restaurant's remarkable signature dishes, including succulent Veal Chops Siciliano, spicy Lobster Fra Diavolo, tender Chicken Contadina, and savory Calamari stuffed with seafood. Spectacular seafood such as Striped Bass Marechiare, Lobster Oreganata, and Shrimp Scampi are always requested, as are meat favorites like Sirloin Steak Pizzaiola with Peppers and Mushrooms, Stuffed Veal Chop Marsala, and Chicken Livers Cacciatore.

What great Neapolitan Italian restaurant doesn't offer a vast array of mouth-watering pasta dishes? Here you'll find some of the finest in the city, including Linguine Puttanesca, Penne alla Vodka, Tortellini Bolognese, Spaghetti or Whole-wheat Pasta Marinara, and Cannelloni with Meat Sauce.

(And now you can enjoy Patsy's s Italian Restaurant at home, as its famous tomato-based sauces are available in better supermarkets and specialty food stores throughout the United States. The sauces are 100% natural, with no preservatives or added sugar. Six varieties are available: Marinara, Tomato Basil, Fra Diavolo, Puttanesca, Vodka, and Cacciatore.)

Patsy's Italian Restaurant has been known for years as the restaurant made famous by Frank Sinatra, and in fact his family still enjoys dining at Patsy's whenever they are in town. In addition to Sinatra and family, Patsy's has become a favorite with countless stars on both the east and west coast, who have come to regard Patsy's as a mecca of Italian fine dining.
