"Considered Sinatra's favorite New York City restaurant, according to sources like the New York Times and Edible Manhattan, Patsy's Italian Restaurant has been a Midtown Manhattan institution since Pasquale "Patsy" Scognamillo opened its doors in 1944, just a few minutes away from Central Park, the most filmed location in the world. And according to the restaurant, it's Sinatra who put the restaurant on the map."
"Sinatra started visiting the eatery frequently in the 1940s and even had his own designated table on the upper floor. In 1952, when Sinatra had reached a low point in his career and personal life (prior to a legendary comeback which included an Oscar win and a string of musical hits like "Come Fly With Me" and "Close to You") Scognamillo even opened up the restaurant on Thanksgiving just for him -"
Patsy's Italian Restaurant opened in 1944 by Pasquale "Patsy" Scognamillo in Midtown Manhattan near Central Park. Frank Sinatra frequented Patsy's starting in the 1940s and had a designated table on the upper floor. Scognamillo opened the restaurant on Thanksgiving in 1952 for Sinatra during a low point in his career. Sinatra's patronage helped put Patsy's on the map and the restaurant continues to attract locals, visitors, and celebrities. Sinatra's family still dines there when in town. Madonna, George Clooney, Robert DeNiro, and Oprah Winfrey have also eaten there. The restaurant displays signed headshots, a statue, and serves hearty, Nonna-style meals with a 4.3 Google rating.
