Birth Certificates
Birth Certificates can be ordered through the NYS Department of Health. They need to be "long form" birth certificates in order to be accepted by the Italian consulate. Most original copies are not long form, so you may need to order a long form version of your own birth certificate, in addition to ancestor birth certificates (through a court order).

More and more images from the consulate's books are showing up online. If you know the consulate, ancestor's name(s) and the approximate year, you can try to find birth, marriage and death records pretty easy.
After you create/log in to your familysearch.org account, you can check out this example from Sant'Aresenio, Salerno:
