Gayle was initially shocked upon arrival at Ci Siamo, overwhelmed by the crowd, causing her to momentarily drop her purse.
After 50 years of strong friendship, Oprah delivered a heartfelt surprise for Gayle King’s 70th birthday. Gayle was in disbelief as everyone joined in singing the birthday song, making it a touching and unforgettably joyous occasion. Oprah’s emotional tribute brought many guests to tears.
The celebration was hosted at a lavish restaurant, highlighted by the Michelin Guide in Chelsea, Manhattan, offering a serene private dining experience perfect for this special occasion.
“Chef Hillary Sterling’s dishes are incredibly inviting. The caramelized onion torta, with its blend of melting onions in a flaky crust topped with two varieties of pecorino cheese and cooked in a wood-burning oven, is a standout. The menu features rich pastas and robust proteins ideal for sharing. A delightful lemon torta with mascarpone and olive oil serves as a perfect meal conclusion.” – Michelin Guide
