Celebrity Chef Joe Isidori & Wife Louise Hosted First Annual “Speak Up and Speak Loud” in The Hamptons
On Thursday, August 7, Celebrity Michelin Star Chef Joe Isidori and his wife Louise hosted the inaugural “Speak Up and Speak Loud” fundraiser at their acclaimed restaurant Arthur & Sons in Bridgehampton. Guests gathered on the picturesque Amalfi Terrace to support H.O.W. (Hearing the Ovarian Cancer Whisper) and ovarian cancer research.
The evening brought together Palm Beach and Hamptons socialites, including Lorraine Bracco, who arrived in full glamour, sipping on Pallini Limoncello Spritzes and later offering to auction off a private dinner with her at Arthur & Sons — a moment that drew cheers from the crowd. Guests dined on Arthur & Sons’ signature dishes, including Joe’s Caesar Salad, Classic Chicken Parmigiana, Jumbo Shrimp Francese, and the viral Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka, before indulging in pastries and rainbow cookies from Ferrara Bakery in Little Italy.
Entertainment for the evening featured celebrity crooner Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti, who performed New York, New York to honor the “New York Italians” and The Way You Look Tonight as a tribute to Louise. Celebrity TV Host Mar Jennings also worked the crowd, adding to the festive energy.
By the evening’s end, the Isidoris had raised upwards of $100,000 for ovarian cancer research. The event, sponsored by Pallini Limoncello, was both a heartfelt and glamorous success — a true example of turning lemons into limoncello.
