The BEST Italian Restaurant in NYC, According to Not Another Cooking Show | Rec Team NYC

Where can you find the best Italian food in New York City? ‪@NOTANOTHERCOOKINGSHOW‬'s Stephen Cusato recommends Emilio's Ballato, located at 55 E Houston Street in Soho. Emilio's is as old school as it gets—a classic "red sauce joint" that offers behemoth portions of chicken parmesan and spaghetti al pomodoro. But to get the most out of Emilio's, you have to act like a regular, which means ordering secret, off-menu specialties, and entering through the kitchen like it's a mf'ing Scorsese flick. As the mastermind behind Not Another Cooking Show, Stephen knows a thing or two about hearty Italian-American cooking. And on the premiere episode of Rec Team NYC, he breaks down the keys to enjoying a life-changing meal at one of New York's most legendary Italian eateries.
