Appetito will host an event to celebrate Italian-American Heritage and Culture Month and just to celebrate in general.  The inaugural “Octoberfesta” will take place on 10/14 at the Song'E Napule location at 132 W. Houston Street in the West Village of NYC.

Pizza and the choice of wine/spritz/beer or soft drinks will be served throughout the hours of 5:00 - 8:00. Individual ticket purchases of $60 are required in advance, paid to our Editor-in-Chief Andrew Cotto at Zelle (andrewcotto) or Venmo (Andrew-Cotto-1). All are welcome to join in the food, drink and camaraderie! 

“Fostering community is a big part of our intention at Appetito,” Cotto said. “We see a lot of each other online, so it’s nice, at least for those of us in New York, to spend time together face to face doing what we love: eating, drinking, and celebrating our common passion.”

Accompanying Andrew will be Appetito’s favorite content creator, Joanna Moeller, who will prepare a classic Italian American pasta dish as part of a full spread to share with Rosanna, her colleagues and crew who always love when the team from Appetito arrives on set. 

Happy Columbus Day and Italian Heritage Month!
