Antonello Ristorante has long been recognized as a place where Orange County’s movers and shakers meet for power lunches and private dinners, and in recent years, it’s been the place where those same notables gather to raise funding for local charities via I Padrini di Antonello’s An Evening Under the Stars gala. This year, the magical night, which drew heavy hitters like Marian Bergeson and Lula Halfacre, netted more than $140,000. The proceeds will go toward the Kinship Center-Canyon Acres, a nonprofit that seeks to find permanent homes for kids, and the Speech and Language Development Center, along with a few other causes. It was enough to bring a twinkle to everyone’s eyes. Photos by Carla Rhea
