Italian cuisine is the type of food that sticks to your ribs. If you just suffered a breakup from the love of your life, a big plate of pasta is pretty much guaranteed to make you feel better. Tired of eating salads and rabbit food on your diet? Grab a plate of Italian food and be prepared to settle into a comfy food coma. My favorite Italian dish is probably fettuccine alfredo or chicken (or eggplant) parmesan. The folks over at loveFOOD have put together a list of the best Italian restaurants in each state. I was intrigued to find out which one topped the list for New York. loveFOOD says,

A New York Landmark Made Famous By Frank Sinatra

Patsy's has been family-owned since 1944. loveFOOD says,

Patsy's Italian Restaurant in NYC has been serving up Italian classics since 1944. Frank Sinatra, who often sang at the restaurant, was a regular and now has a private dining room named after him. Patsy's prides itself on serving simple, unpretentious comfort food, such as spaghetti meatballs, linguine with clam sauce, and veal Milanese with arugula – reportedly Franks's favorite dish.
