Joe Jonas's Favorite NYC Restaurants

"“Emilio’s Ballato is one of my favorite Italian restaurants in New York. He’s a good friend of ours, and his whole family works there. It’s the best taste of authentic New York City. We’ve done a lot of family meals at Emilio’s, and I think we’ve done a few holiday meals there. We always try to take over the back room, and he just opened up a speakeasy next door. The chicken parm is amazing, the veal parm is amazing, the eggplant parm...I’m a sucker for pappardelle or tagliatelle meat pastas, so that’s my go-to. And they also have the best zucchini fritti. It’s gonna have a line and they don’t take reservations, so you have to go with enough time to wait. And don’t go with too many people, because the tables are better for four, max.”" - gabe bergado
