Updates for Patsy's on TV!

Hey everyone, I hope you've been having a wonderful holiday season! In my previous post, I mentioned that there were a few opportunities to catch Patsy's on TV last week. If you weren't able to catch any of those (or just forgot!), then don't worry - here's the full Taste Makers episode, so you can catch everything you missed!


We'll also have the video up on our website, so if this link isn't working for you, head over to patsys.com and try your luck there.

As an update, our show that's airing on CBS this Saturday has been moved to around 8:45 am. If you want to play it safe, you can start watching at 8:30 and you definitely won't miss us.

Finally, we've got another exciting development - an episode of Real Food on Telecare that focuses squarely on Patsy's! This will initially air Sunday, December 30th, but they'll be playing it repeatedly throughout the week, so if you miss one showing, you'll have plenty of other opportunities to watch. The full schedule is pretty elaborate, so I'll post everything below:

So if you're interested, keep checking back with Telecare and you'll be sure to see us at any of these times!

All in all, it's been an incredible holiday season for us - and we're not done yet!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

The holiday season is in full swing, and it's a wonderful time for all of us at Patsy's! On top of our usual festivities, Patsy's will be on TV several times in the next few weeks, so if you'd like to see more about what life if like at Patsy's, be sure to watch!

You'll be able to catch us at the following channels/times:

December 15th: WPIX Channel 11, at 6:30 pm

December 21st: CBS Local (NY, NJ and CN) at 6:45 am

December 22nd: CBS National at 6:45 am

Since the holidays are also our busy season, we'd like to remind people that if you're making plans to come in at any time in December, you'll definitely want a reservation. We're booking up incredibly fast, so even if you're planning something two weeks from now, definitely call us as soon as you can so that you don't miss out!

Of course, if you live far away and can't make it into Patsy's, then you may have been considering a gift from our store. Our gift baskets make great presents, but they're selling quickly - in fact, our Patsy's Italian Essentials collection is already sold out! We still have several other options, so if a special someone in your life had their heart set on a Patsy's gift basket, they're not out of luck yet!


Here's our Patsy's Bounty Basket. It's pretty awesome!


And of course, if you want a leaner gift, you can always pick up a Patsy's Gift Certificate. It's definitely the perfect way to make a card a little more exciting. Our store has all the usual suspects as well, so if you're thinking of stuffing a stocking with some sauce or pasta, here's the link!

Happy Holidays, everyone, and enjoy the season!

Patsy's has re-opened!

Hi everyone,

Another quick update - although the storm has taken its toll on us, we've been able to re-open. Not all of our employees have been able to make it in since so many of them rely on the subways and buses to get to work, but we have enough that we're able to open both kitchens and dining rooms.

These are tough times, so if you're stuck in the area or you find yourself without power, and you want some good food to warm you up and some friendly faces to comfort you, please, stop by. We'll be here for you.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update to let you all know we'll be closed during Hurricane Sandy. Stay inside, and stay safe! We'll see you again when the storm is over.

Have you tried our exclusive fall dishes?

At Patsy's, we love celebrating, regardless of the occasion! So this year we've reinstated an old favorite for the months of autumn, and we're also introducing something new to spice things up!

Our delicious pumpkin tortelloni is back for Fall!

First off, we've once again got our pumpkin tortelloni firing up in the kitchen. This has become a favorite over the years, and it's easy to see why - we fill the tortellini with only the freshest, juiciest pumpkins, and it actually adds a surprisingly good taste. There's a hint of sweetness and a lot of heartiness.

On top of that, we cover it with a velvety layer of a special cream sauce that's also got tha same sweetness to it. All in all, it's a dish you really can't miss, so if you're in the area be sure to book a reservation soon.

As far as what's new, we're trying something different this year! As you know, we've always offered both chocolate and raspberry Tartuffo for dessert, but we've also introduced pumpkin in honor of the season!

If you love Tartuffo, you've gotta try this flavor!


While we're on the subject of Fall, have you been celebrating Patsy's "Pizzaiola Month"? You still have a few days left to take advantage of the savings - from now until the end of October, shipping is free on any and every jar of Pizzaiola that you order! On top of that, we've got recipes on the site all about how best to use it.

So enjoy the rest of October... and take care of yourselves during this hurricane!

Thanks to our customers!

It's always exciting when a big celebrity or an instantly recognizable face walks through our doors, but we're just as happy when we see one of our long-standing customers. Even brand new people who've never eaten at Patsy's before are always welcome guests, and since we've made a point of designating several blog posts to the many celebrities that have dined with us, we thought it'd be appropriate to acknowledge some of our other beloved customers.




First up, we've got a great picture from long-time customer Chris Khan and his family!

Thanks for a great dinner and night Sal!!  Hope to see you again soon. Roll Tide! ~ Chris Kahn





Next is a charming little photo courtesy of some visitors from Tennessee!

The dinner before the show was the highlight of our trip.

Finally, we've got a great little story from Michael Mott, a first time customer who wanted to share his experience!


I am by no means a famous actor and or singer, but my father, his wife and my girlfriend felt like royalty for our recent dinner on September 19th of 2012.  We had called Patsy’s last minute, while on vacation, at about 7:30pm and were told to come on over, as it was my father’s 70th birthday.

Our family comes from northern Italy (Austria in the day) and we wanted some good food while in town.  A friend of the family suggested Patsy’s and so my father was keen on going there!  To make a long story short, we showed up last minute after calling and we were seated promptly upstairs.  Not sure if it’s a split staff but the guys upstairs were wonderful, sadly I cannot remember any names!  I did take this picture with this wonderful gentleman:
Long story short, Patsy’s is our first stop now when we hit NYC (that and staying at the Warwick) and will remain a lasting memory.  Great food, great wine and great friends met!

Michael Mott




Got a story that you'd love to share about your relationship with Patsy's? Maybe you've got a great photo of you and your family with Sal from a great vacation you had in NYC, or perhaps you've been coming into the restaurant since you were a child and just want to share some fond memories. Don't be shy! We'd love to hear from you. E-mail us, and we'll make sure you're also a star on one of our next blog posts!
