Frank Sinatra's Favorite Dish: The Clams Posillipo at Patsy's Italian Restaurant 

Boil, and then simmer another 10 mins? How is that not overcooked

Holy heck that looks incredible, especially if made with fresh tomatoes.

I do not know any of the family who owns Patsy's.I must say Patsy,s is one of the best in N.Y.C..I mean one of the Top Ten. My friend took me there and the owners treat you with respect and really care about you as a customer

Looks real good I only wish Frank was here to enjoy them

Hmmm why not steam them keep the natural clam juice , filter it and add to the tomato sauce . Get the clam flavor in the sauce and BURNT garlic ???? And don’t forget the linguini !!! 😊🥂Cheers!!

This guy is good. Very straight foward,simpke,no theatre. Just actual cooking

Came on, if u cook two time the clams, it like a gums......

MY GOD THATS MY FAVORITE DISH .TO BAD I LIVE IN BOSTON!!!

Been ordering this at Patsy's for decades. One of my favorites -- amazing flavor in that sauce. Definitely requires some warm Italian bread to soak up that delicious goodness as well!

Why in heaven's name would you want to boil the clams in water, diluting their juices, and rinsing the cooked clams in cold water, insuring there isn't a speck of clam juice left in the poor clam? No, I'm not making this! You've made tomato sauce with some clam flavoring, served on bland clams.

Wow, simple as can be. I love everything out of Patsys. Will have to make this

when you cook clams like this in Italy, they kill you ;-)

My mouth is watering

Wouldn’t those clams turn to rubber after all that heat. Already open and you cook them another 10 min

I love how this chef walked us threw this. Much respect sir. He didn’t have to go that hard into detail. Cool as shit....

Gotta try this one day next time I'm in the city. Looks delicious!

that’s a big appetizer

Frank had good taste one Italian to another 👍🍺👍🥃👍

I ate at Patsy’s a couple of times. First time I ordered clams oreganata.The clams were bad , and I should have sent them back.I made their Clams Sinatra at home and purged the clams the old fashioned way, i.e. scrubbed them and soaked in salt water for a half hour and discard water after 1/2 hour . Repeat about 3 x until clean. Amount of sediment depends on the batch you bought and from where. The Sinatra way is very bland to my taste( sauce needs to be jazzed up with oregano, white wine, oregano).Agree that their way of purging makes no sense and overcooks clams and dilutes clam juice.

Does anyone know if this restaurant has any relations to the "Patsy's vesuvio" restaurants around New York in the '60s, '70s..

Im going home and make this right now

Hi do you use little neck or top neck clams which did type of clams did Sinatra prefer?

There seems to be a problem opening the link for this recipe. Can you please elaborate as to the quantities of your ingredients & what type of tomatoes are you using for this dish ??? Thank you for your time & I look forward to hearing from you.

Horrible preparation you may as well just use canned clams oh and don't forget to wash them three times yikes

Yummy 😋

Those clams are cooked into OBLIVION

Perfection !!!🔥🍝🍷🇺🇸🎭🎈🙏🏼🎵⚾️🧢

I add alil clam juice and white whine and call it Zuppa claims.

He practically washed out all the clam flavor.

Darn that looks Great

That is perfect

Does that look delicious!

This is easy to cook. He's making it a lot more difficult than it has to be. It's more of an App without pasta. Like a Zuppa.

GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU.

That pasillipo sauce is such a deep rich red colour 🤤

Easy wiseguy

I'm craving food😋

The garlic is burnt.

My absolute favorite meal ever.

Looks very delish 😋

How i cook clams : only cook once.

Lol...I believe they did things correctly because did they really wanna get Sinatra's order wrong? Think about it.

Magic

Yummmm

Clams are overcooked and you lost the liquor by boiling them in cold water. What a hack. Vergognatevi

This quest to remove “sand’ removes all the clam juice and ocean water. The better way to prepare clams and pasta is the old fashion way shucking them first. This is why no matter how great the restaurant and how skilled the chef, nothing beats making it the real way at home.

Hmm washing the open clams in the sink makes me cringe because of all of the flavor lost... and filtered water is so much better than tap water for cooking.

home run this guy
