✨ What an unforgettable evening! ✨
I am deeply honored to chair this event kicking off 50 years of
@lesdamesny with a dinner worthy of our Grande Dame. Celebrating
@lidiabastianich and her newly released The Art of Pasta surrounded by this extraordinary community of women is something I will carry in my heart forever. 💫
Grazie mille, Lidia — what an honor it is to celebrate your artistry and the breathtaking legacy you have built. Being in your presence was a gift, and last night at Becco was pure magic. 🍝
A heartfelt thank you to the entire
@becconyc team for hosting us with such warmth, grace, and — of course — incredible food. You made every guest feel at home. 🏡
And none of this would have been possible without our incredible sponsors — a huge GRAZIE to:
🏰
@icifusa — for the stunning week-long cooking experience at Castello di Costigliole d’Asti in Piemonte. An absolute showstopper.
