The late Goodfellas star was seen at an event in NYC in December of 2021, less than seven months prior to his death in May of 2022
Nittolo, who honored the anniversary of the actor's birthday in December, wore her brown locks parted and carried a clutch, accessorizing with a necklace and a bracelet.
Liotta's sister Linda Matthews donned a silver one-shoulder top with black silk cropped pants and strappy black heels.
The action comedy movie, which is directed by Elizabeth Banks, is focused on a drug-addled bear on a murderous rampage.
The film is based on the true story of a black bear in 1985 who found and consumed a multimillion dollar package of cocaine smugglers air-dropped into a forest in the state of Georgia.
While the bear in real life died from an overdose near where officials found torn-up packages that contained the drug, the film takes artistic license with the premise, sending the bear on a bloody spree involving multiple people.
In a trailer for the film, Liotta's drug kingpin dispatches two of his underlings (Alden Ehrenreich and O'Shea Jackson Jr.) to find and recover the missing contraband.
'A lot of cocaine was lost - I need you to go and get it,' Liotta's character said.
They encounter the bear and deduce that it had broken into the drug stash, as Ehrenreich tells Liotta's character: 'The bear, it f***ing did cocaine - a bear did cocaine!'

Ehrenreich told UPROXX in a piece published Tuesday that the late star 'really seemed to be having a ball being a part of' the film.
'He loved it,' Ehrenreich said. 'I'm very grateful for the opportunity that I got to work with him, and especially now. Liz had such a great set and he came and he really seemed to be having a ball being a part of this.'
Ehrenreich said of Liotta, 'I mean, he really was having, I think, a really good time. And so it was really nice to be able to work with him and see him have so much fun with it.'
Banks told Variety earlier this month that Liotta 'came to Ireland with the best attitude' to work on the film.
The filmmaker added: 'He had a great time. He came for ADR and saw the film, and was like, "Oh, my God, the bear looks so good!"'
Liotta died May 26, 2022 at the age of 67 in the Dominican Republic, where he was working on the film Dangerous Waters. According to iMDB, other projects he was working on at the time of his passing include The Substance; April 29, 1992; and El Tonto.
The movie also features Isiah Whitlock Jr., Keri Russell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Kristofer Hivju, Hannah Hoekstra, Brooklynn Prince, Christian Convery, Aaron Holliday and Margo Martindale.
The motion picture is slated to arrive in theaters February 24.
