WHAT ARE YOUR MEMORIES of FRANK SINATRA 

& ITALIAN FOOD

WE WANT to KNOW !!!

Frank Sinatra and Italian Food? They go together! What's more Italian Than FRANK & FOOD? ITALIAN FOOD That Is. Is there any other? Well Yes, bet we're talking about SINATRA and His Favorite Food without question was Italian, and more specifically ITALIAN-AMERICAN FOOD, and Home Cooked at that, or at one of Frank's Favorite spots like : GINO'S on Lexington Avenue or PATSY'S on 56th Street in New York. Or at Home in HOBOKEN, New Jersey that is.

And when it came to Italian Food and his Favorites, Frank knew what he wanted, and most would be suprised to know that Frank kept it simple. He loved Clams Posillipo that famous Clam dish from La Bella Napoli Italy. Spaghetti Pomodoro (TomatoSauce) was his all-time number one favorite dish of all. When Frank went to Patsy's, his favorite was Veal Milanese, the famed dish of Milan which is a Veal Rib Chop pounded thin, breaded and fried in Olive Oil and Butter and usually served with an Arugala Salad on top. Yes Veal Milanese is pounded thin, but Frank liked his pounded super thin and thinner than most. You may also be suprised to know that Frank wasn't too crazy about Garlic. He didn't mind a bit, but not too much, and this is actually the real Italian way, for Italians eat a whole lot less Gperceive.arlic than most Americans (Non Italians).
