Chef Salvatore Sorrentino and his bride, Gina, had a memorable wedding night when LL Cool J unexpectedly showed up at their reception at 388 Italian Restaurant in Roslyn. The couple had returned to the restaurant after their ceremony for dinner with friends and family, only to find that Fat Joe and DJ Khaled were already there celebrating the birthday of Fat Joe’s manager. The wedding celebration took an unexpected turn when LL Cool J arrived in a Sprinter van, prompting Sorrentino to swap his tuxedo for his chef coat and reopen the kitchen to cook for the music legend and his crew.
Despite the restaurant being closed, Sorrentino did not turn LL Cool J away and prepared a meal for the famous rapper and his entourage. The stars all congratulated the newlyweds and wished them happiness, making it a night to remember for Sorrentino and his bride. LL Cool J, known for hits like “Mama Said Knock You Out”, posed for pictures with the couple and other guests in his signature casual style including a red ballcap, baggy gray pants, a hoodie, and chains.
