Lobster fra diavolo is an Italian-American dish, a blend of American ingredients with the Italian-style of cooking, where a lobster in a spicy red tomato sauce is paired with pasta. The origins of the dish are still debated; some claim it’s a completely American invention, while others trace it back to southern Italy.
"The lobster fra diavolo could be a feast on its own: Six types of seafood are stewed in tomato sauce to create this flavorful dish."
"A longtime Old Port favorite for fresh seafood – grilled, blackened, broiled, tossed with pasta. Lobster diavolo (in spicy tomato sauce, with pasta) for two is the house specialty (hint: don't wear white)."
"Lobster Fra Diavolo is a classic Italian dish, and one of the finest versions of it, given to you from the landmark New York City restaurant Patsy's."
"At dinnertime, there’s a rich and satisfying Lobster Fra Diavolo over Penne a la Vodka."
"The fra diavolo is a tour de force, a big skillet with mussels, clams, calamari, shrimp, and a lobster perched at the rim like a figurehead on a ship. We eat it all."
