Spaghetti Meatballs Sinatra - Recipe

 



NANCY BARBATO SINATRA

SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS

From the WFBL COOK BOOK OF THE STARS




FRANK SINATRA Born in Hoboken, Frank was an only son. His mother came to this country from Genoa and father from Sicily. As a lad, Frank had always been crazy about music, but his parents failed to share his enthusiasm of making a career of it. His first singing spot was with Harry James, then Tommy Dorsey. The turning point in Frank Sinatra's career came in January, 1943, when he signed for a series of personal appearances at New York's Paramount Theater. Then and there, he became "The Voice." Sinatra's slight build is kept in hard trim by his prowess at boxing, golf and bowling.

Clemenza Godfather Cannolis Cannoli






CLEMENZA Got The CANNOLIS




In 1971, actor Richard Castellano, who portrayed the iconic character Peter Clemenza in *The Godfather*, was photographed walking out of the Luna Restaurant on 115 Mulberry Street in Little Italy, New York City. This historic restaurant is not only famous for its authentic Italian cuisine but also holds a special place in *The Godfather* legacy. It was here, in this very spot, where Clemenza famously had lunch in the film and later went on to buy the cannoli, leading to the unforgettable line, "Leave the gun, take the cannoli."
The Luna Restaurant became an integral part of *The Godfather*'s cinematic magic, offering a glimpse into the everyday life of its characters, who seemed to blend seamlessly with the surroundings of Little Italy. This location became synonymous with the film's unforgettable moments, and the image of Clemenza walking out of the restaurant, holding the cannoli, became forever etched in the minds of fans. The line, now legendary, captures the juxtaposition of brutal mobster life and simple pleasures, such as enjoying a beloved dessert.
Today, the Luna Restaurant continues to stand on Mulberry Street, serving both locals and tourists who flock to Little Italy to experience a piece of *The Godfather*'s history. The scene immortalized in 1971 remains a testament to the film's cultural significance, with visitors often seeking to recreate that iconic moment by indulging in a cannoli. Richard Castellano’s appearance in front of the restaurant is a reminder of the lasting impact *The Godfather* has had on both film history and the streets of New York City.
