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.

Steve walking in through the kitchen like he's in Goodfellas >
My favorite place to eat in NYC! Their off menu carbonara is great as well!!
Pork chop in cherry peppers sauce is great
I make it a few times a year
Ok this on the list next time I’m in NYC
Veal looked so good
Thank you for sharing this little gem. Makes me want to get on a plane right now!
Need to visit , have my favorites old Italian places in Brooklyn, but this one looks very intriguing.
Looks great
Haven't been to the city since 2013. I'm starving and need real food!
Their Tiramisu is the best I've ever had
So interesting to look at such a restaurant.
This style of Italian restaurant is indicative of some of nicest I’ve dined at. Elegant, yet simplistic cuisine at its best. Steve‘s got great taste – pun intended!
A veal pork chop?! WTF 😂
This sounds just like Da Emma in montreal, it’s where all the celebrities have been, like eating at Nona’s house (I prefer more sophisticated Italian cuisine that’s harder for me to prepare at home lol) but it’s a budget friendly restaurant that is very cozy 😊
I would love to dine here!
What an experience
Dope video
I just died! Take me there, Please 🙏
need those wings!!
