Patsy's Italian Restaurant
Patsy's Italian Restaurant is an Italian eatery on Manhattan's west side near Central Park. It serves traditional Italian dishes such as Veal Milanese, Eggplant Parmesan, and homemade pasta in a classically decorated space with simple furnishings and a homey setting.
The restaurant was founded in 1944 by Pasquale Scognamillo, whose family came from Naples and operated it for decades. It weathered major changes in the neighborhood and remained a steady presence through various eras of Manhattan's history.
The restaurant is named after its founder Pasquale and serves as a gathering place where generations of New Yorkers have met. The walls display photos of famous guests and tell the story of a time when this location was a center for artists and musicians.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday and closed on Mondays, with reservations available online or by phone. The location is convenient with good access in central Manhattan and can accommodate groups and private events.
The restaurant shares a deep connection with Frank Sinatra, who became a regular guest and his favorite dining spot. A statue of Sinatra stands at the bar, and a family member still wears a pin given by Nancy Sinatra after Frank's passing.
