Katie has already been seen at her boyfriend’s father’s restaurant Ballato before, and the trio looked quite comfortable with one another as they enjoyed hearty toasts al fresco at the famous eatery. 

Katie dabbed at her cheek with a napkin as she caught up with the boys, who sat opposite one another. 

In between bites of their food, Katie flashed a smitten smile towards her handsome beau.

Once it was time to go, the duo picked up after themselves and left with Katie carrying a to-go bag upon her arm.  

The couple were then seen on a romantic walk through the Big Apple, enjoying the autumn air hand-in-hand. 

Katie’s beautiful face was barely visible behind her blue face mask and stylish sunglasses.

She embraced the fall weather with a rusty red sweater, distressed jeans, button down shirt, and polka dot tie hanging over her neck.

Meanwhile, Emilio cut a suave figure in his black button down coat, grey trousers, and leather shoes. 

The chef looked quite dashing with his black hair expertly slicked behind his head.

The new couple appeared content in each other’s company as they walked silently through the busy city, at one point growing slightly closer to share a few words.

Katie got out her point using her hands, gesturing ever-so-slightly to express herself.
