Renée Restivo's TV Appearances

Renée has appeared on The Travel Channel, ABC Network, and has been a guest on NPR affiliate. She enjoys occasional TV projects and has been called "a natural" by producers and talent agents. 

Renée was invited to present The Silver Spoon Cookbook on National TV with Tony Danza.  "It was honor to present The Silver Spoon cookbook on national TV. The book is the English translation of a classic cookbook in Italy. For recipes, I honestly prefer the Italian original, Il Cucchiaio d'Argento, a collection of authentic recipes gathered from homes of Italians in the 50s, but the English version that I had the honor of presenting is a beautiful book filled with color photographs."  ~Renée Restivo

Renée Restivo's Appearance on The Travel Channel Sicily Episode:

Renée Restivo invites Andrew Zimmern to go night fishing in Marzamemi, Sicily (located in the Noto area). After night fishing, Renée introduces Andrew to a Sicilian food producer, and then they take their catch back to the fisherman's home and enjoy learning about the preparation of traditional seafood dishes together. At the end of the day, they enjoy a meal together.

Here's the Travel Channel website's description of the episode. Here's a clip from the show:
