The Owner of Emilio's Ballato Explains What Luxury Means to Him

Emilio Vitolo, the actor and chef behind Emilio's Ballato in New York City, sat down with Robb Report Dining to talk about the things he values off the clock. He spoke about a rare watch in his collection, his preference for bespoke suits, and the drink he reaches for first. He also named the dish he considers his most impressive work in the kitchen. Taken together, the interview offers a sense of how the same standards he holds in the dining room carry over to what he wears and drinks.
