About Us

Appetito

By training, Chiara Montalto Giannini is an actress and a writer, but she has been cooking since before she can remember. As an actress and a writer, her solo play, A Brooklyn Love Story &#8211; based on the decade she spent living in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn with her grandfather &#8211; was produced Off Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York and at Theatre 68 in Los Angeles, where it was directed by Ronnie Marmo. Currently, she is the Director of the Writers Guild Initiative, a non-profit affiliated with the WGAE that shares the tools of writing and creative expression with different communities. She&#8217;s also a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and the Dramatists Guild. At Appetito, Chiara will share recipes from her childhood and those she has learned through her extensive pursuit of Italian food both here and abroad.

How to Make NOLET’s Strawberry Negroni Spritz

Alisandra Puliti is an entertainment and lifestyle journalist with over 15 years of experience.  The Penn State alum has held several positions at HELLO! and HOLA! Media, Us Weekly and OK! Magazine and is a contributing editor for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit. Throughout her tenure, she has been a fixture at events such as the Golden Globes to the Cannes Film Festival and has interviewed the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Eva Longoria, Jay-Z and more of Hollywood’s elite. A self-professed ‘social homebody,’ when she isn’t home binge-watching the newest streaming series from the States and Italy or perfecting pasta dishes, her constant wanderlust has her packing her bags and heading out for a new adventure – most likely back to Italy where she is in the process of renovating a condo on the Adriatic coast in Abruzzo!
