Don Angie is one of the hardest restaurants to get into in New York City—and the most requested reservation on dining apps—and Katie sits down with the chefs behind it, Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli. They share how they first met cooking together at Park Avenue Seasons, bonded over their Italian roots, and honed their craft at top NYC kitchens like Quality Meats and Torrisi, before opening Don Angie, now famous for its iconic lasagna. In this episode, Angie and Scott also talk about their newest restaurant, San Sabino, a seafood-focused spot, their cookbook Italian American: Red Sauce Classics and New Essentials, and how they balance the demanding restaurant life with raising their five-year-old son. Whether you love Italian food, restaurant stories, or behind-the-scenes NYC dining, this is a fun and inspiring conversation about cooking from the heart, building a buzz-worthy restaurant, and making family life work along the way.
