New York news icon Rosanna Scotto dishes up everything from life lessons to cooking advice in this fast-paced and wide-ranging interview. Following the release of her new book, ‘Meatballs, Mangia & Memories,’ Scotto talks about the impact of the pandemic on her family life and restaurant business, Fresco by Scotto, along with that of her work as a journalist and co-anchor of Good Day New York. Lots of juggling happens behind the scenes (get a tip or two on time management!) but at the heart of it all is an attitude of gratitude.

We touch on topics such as:

• About the book, Meatballs, Mangia and Memories
• The pandemic’s impact on the family business
• The need for reinvention
• Learn Rosanna’s No. 1 life lesson
• How journalism has changed
