"The Dish: Baked Clams  Once you’re mentally prepared to wait in line for a table at Emilio's Ballato, there are a few things you should do. Come early on a weekday, bring a group, and say yes to doing things family style, which really just means taking the dishes and their prices, and multiplying them both, liberally. That way, you’ll receive an astounding number of baked clams, swimming in a pool of parsley-studded sauce, which you can return to again and again throughout your meal. They remain crisp, even when you eat your very last one right before dessert." - willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
