Scenes From Appetito’s Launch Party

The newest location of Song' E Napule Pizzeria & Trattoria hosted an epic night of pizza, Naples-style street food, and merriment to celebrate Appetito's recent launch and more!

Appetito held its launch party at the new location of Song’ E Napule last week.

Appetito launched this spring, giving the United States its first-ever homegrown website devoted to Italian food and drink. To celebrate, we teamed up with Song' E Napule at their new, expanded location at 132 W. Houston St. in Manhattan for a night of delicious food and excellent company.

Here are scenes from Appetito's recent launch party, which included a birthday celebration for Appetito co-founder Andrew Cotto, and appearances by a who's who of Italian and Italian-American food and media pros.
