“Good Day New York” anchor Rosanna Scotto, alongside her siblings Elana and John, recently hosted a celebration of life for their mother, Marion Scotto, who passed away at 90. The event took place at the family's restaurant, Fresco by Scotto, and drew a notable crowd of media personalities, politicians, and business leaders.
Attendees included Hoda Kotb, Lorraine Bracco, former Gov. David Paterson, and Bo Dietl. The gathering was described by an insider as a joyful occasion, focused on shared stories and remembrance, with "more toasts than tears."
Marion Scotto was remembered for her role in building a life around feeding and caring for others. Guests were treated to a spread of dishes from Fresco by Scotto, including Marion's signature meatballs. A 15-foot photograph of Marion Scotto was displayed during the event.
Also present were Fox 5 colleagues of Rosanna Scotto, including Mike Woods, Christal Young, Dan Bowens, Ines Rosales, Ryan Kristafer, Audrey Puente, and Robert Moses, along with Fox bosses Lew Leone and Joe Dorrego. The celebration was characterized as exactly the kind of event Marion would have wanted: abundant food, a full house, and heartfelt tributes.
