After putting in time at some of the city’s hottest pizza havens (including Roberta’s) Matt opened his first restaurant, Emily, in 2014—and has been racking up accolades ever since. Emily has been featured in publications including Saveur,New York Magazine, Tasting Table, Eater, Food & Wine, and the Village Voice.
