"It’s no-reservations at Emilio’s Ballato and start-to-finish, it’s a scene, where you’re bound to see someone famous. And that guy at the round table right when you walk in by the door? It’s likely the owner Emilio Vitolo and friends. Start with a glass of house red or white. Make sure you try that focaccia (Emilio started as a baker). Order a plate of red peppers. Consider the tripe. Move on to linguine with white clam sauce. Share a plate of fennel sausage and broccoli rabe. The veal Milanese is pretty great, too." - Eater Staff
