Washington Heights resident Sammy Patranella Sr. grew up in a home that his father built in 1938, a block away from Washington Ave. Sammy Sr., along with his wife, Josephine and son, Sammy Jr., started the restaurant in 1991 built a restaurant in that same home, 813 Jackson Hill St.
It's no surprise that Patranella's has a home-style atmosphere to it. "Eating here," Sammy Sr. said. "is like eating in your home." The restaurant is tucked away on a quiet street, a stone's throw away from fast-paced Washington Ave.
