We’re serving up another delicious helping of our Sexy Italian Summer miniseries, and today’s guest is Angie Rito, the culinary force behind two of New York City’s hottest Italian-American restaurants, Don Angie and San Sabino. Angie and her husband Scott have reimagined beloved red sauce classics with bold, modern twists—think their famous pinwheel lasagna and bright chrysanthemum salad. She’s also the co-author of Italian American: Red Sauce Classics and New Essentials, a joyful ode to the food she loves.
Angie joins host Kerry Diamond to share what she’s eating and drinking this summer, her must-have fridge staples for living (and eating) like an Italian, and the story behind San Sabino’s cameo in Sarah Jessica Parker’s And Just Like That.

Picnics, Rosé & La Dolce Vita With Tamu McPherson Of All The Pretty Birds
Today’s guest is Tamu McPherson, the beloved tastemaker and storyteller behind All the Pretty Birds. Born in Jamaica and raised in New York, Tamu left behind a career in law to pursue love and her creative passions, carving out a space in fashion, photography, and media with her vibrant perspective. She founded All the Pretty Birds, a platform that champions diverse voices and celebrates personal style, and she’s recently expanded her vision into the world of hospitality with two exciting projects: a joyful tabletop and picnic collaboration with Italian design house Bitossi Home, and her own rosé wine, Tamu Rosé, created with a winery close to her heart.
Tamu joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her ideal picnic set-up in Italy, why rosé is her ultimate summer sip, and how embracing la dolce vita is really about savoring beauty, community, and connection.
