Hi, everyone. You are listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond. I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb magazine. We're back with another sizzling episode of our sexy Italian summer miniseries. Today, and over the next few Wednesdays, we're celebrating all things Italy, La Dulce

Vita, Cuccina Italiana, and the incredible women who bring it all to life.

Today's guest is Angie Rito, the co-chef and co-owner of Don Angie and San Sabino,

two of New York City's most popular Italian-American restaurants.

Angie and her husband Scott have taken classic

Italian dishes and given them a bold modern update, dishes like their now famous rolled lasagna

and chrysanthemum salad. Angie is also co-author of the cookbook Italian-American, Red

Sauce Classics, and New Essentials. And she's helping to find what Italian-American cooking is all about today.

Joyful, generous, and full of flavor.

Angie and I talk about what she's eating and drinking this summer,

what she always keeps stocked in her fridge to eat like an Italian and like a chef,

and what it was like when San Sabina was featured in Sarah Jessica Parker's

and just like that,

this season. Stay tuned for my chat with Angie Rito.

This episode of Sexy Italian Summer is brought to you by Nonino, the family-owned, female-led Italian distillery that's redefining what's in your glass this summer.

Their secret, spirits that take your aperitivo hour from basic to bellissima in one sip.

As you're planning your aperitivo hour, there's no better place to start than with the famous paper plane cocktail.

It's a cinch to make, as its equal parts nonino amaro, apparel, bourbon, and lemon juice.

The paper plane is bright, bittersweet,

and looks like summer in a glass. If a spritz is more your style, there's laparitivo nonino.

Floral and fresh, laparitivo nonino can be topped with bresco or sparkling grapefruit soda,

and a squeeze of lime for a refreshing twist on the summertime classic.
