Emilio's Ballato

$$$ eat italian Little Italy

Since 1956, and the one old-school red-sauce room that never became a caricature. Emilio Vitolo holds the door himself; celebrities eat here because the food is actually good.

Order: Chicken parm or the veal Emilio, start with the burrata. No reservations by phone for nobodies — show up early or eat late.

Verified open Aug 2026 (Yelp Aug 2026 + official site). Walk-in-heavy; expect a wait at prime time

Torrisi Bar & Ristorante

$$$ eat italian Little Italy

Rich Torrisi cooking Italian-American through a fine-dining lens in the Puck Building — Michelin-starred, and the rare splurge that honors the neighborhood instead of gentrifying past it.

Order: The tortellini and anything from the antipasti list; the devil's chicken is the sleeper. Book Resy well ahead; the bar takes walk-ins.

Verified open Aug 2026 (Michelin Guide + 50 Best 2026 list). NOTE: moved from 250 Mulberry — current address is 275 Mulberry
