"Gabby" Birthday to Steven Pellegrino, Sr.!

Steven Pellegrino, Sr., the man behind Il Bacio Restaurant & Lounge and PRIME, has thrown the people of South Florida some of the hottest parties we have ever seen. 

It was only fitting that, for the big guy's birthday, we go all out with a Summer Circus-themed Birthday Bash worthy of Il Bacio's off-the-chart event roster.

So, for the past week, Gab worked in secret to plot the perfect birthday, including smuggling an oversize paper birthday cake into the office for Steven's wife, Jackie, to decorate.

On Saturday, May 14, we finally were able to pull out all the stops, kicking off the evening with a hilarious James Brown fire performance before presenting dangling aerialists, fireworks courtesy of Steven Pellegrino, Jr., and - surprise! - a beautiful woman leaping out of a birthday cake and launching into a dance and fire performance act for a very surprised Steven.

As always, DJ Brett the Hitman kept the crowd going until we couldn't dance anymore, providing the soundtrack to yet another unforgettable night.

The party never ends when you're working with the Pellegrinos!

"The Circus" 2-Year Anniversary Celebration at Il Bacio

"The Circus" rolled into town on Wednesday, April 27, celebrating Il Bacio's second year as Delray’s premier venue for nightlife, entertainment and dining with over-the-top entertainment worthy of The Big Top.

The much-anticipated event lived up to its high-flying expectations as more than 500 South Florida revelers partied the night away, their senses captivated by the dazzling and sultry circus-inspired acts and pulsating sounds of DJ Brett the Hitman.


Sponsored by Ketel One Vodka, "The Circus" kicked off with Harlequin Stilt Walkers, a nod to vintage acts of days past, and the incredible Goatman, who roamed the courtyard inviting intrigued guests to the join the party.


As a seductive belly dancer and her curious snake slithered through the crowd, guests were treated to sensational aerialists and gravity-defying performances from suspended silks.

The night heated up with incredible fire performers, and culminated with a spectacular violinist that blew the crowd away with his rock solos.

The only thing to do after such an unforgattable event? Start planning for next year!

Score! Watch the Game Like A VIP at Il Bacio's Super Bowl Viewing Party

This weekend, you've decided whether you'll be sporting a Packers or a Steelers jersey, which friends you want to catch the Big Game with, and have heard about some of the goings-on around town. The problem: You really don't want to pack yourself into some generic, overcrowded sports bar and pay for greasy, lukewarm food that takes forever to get to your section (which, by the way, smells like cigarette smoke). Yuck.

Where can someone with style and substance - someone, say, like you - catch the game?

Problem solved - Party with Gab at Il Bacio Restaurant & Lounge. We'll be watching the Super Bowl with avid football fans on 100-inch game screens while we relax in outdoor cinema-style seating and feast on Il Bacio's All-You-Can-Eat Super Bowl Buffet. Plus, the event is hosted by Playboy's Erica Chevillar and Maxim's Hometown Hottie Tami Donaldson. The best part? General admission, which includes the buffet, is just $20.

Doors open at 4 p.m., and kickoff is at 6 p.m.

You can also reserve your own sectioned off, front-row VIP couches by calling Steven at (561) 376-3374.

Gab's 'Girls Night Out': The Search Is On For Eligible Butlers in the Buff

 

Founder Alex Jones with The Gab Group PR Director Michelle Soudry

Last night, Gab hosted a rowdy Girls Night Out event at Il Bacio Restaurant & Lounge, featuring a casting call for U.K. sensation Butlers in the Buff™!

The lucky attendees, who sipped free cocktails from 7 to 11 p.m.,  participated in the interactive casting call for the  Butlers in the Buff™ Florida team, the first  U.S. team of its type.

Nine fit and friendly male contestants competed for a coveted Butlers in the Buff™ staff position. Not only did the men have to be attractive and in good shape, but they had to be charming, polite and well-spoken.

After being asked a few impromptu interview questions by The Gab Group PR Director Michelle Soudry, Butler potentials were put to the test and asked to serve ladies in the audience clad in a bow-tie, cuffs, apron, and, naturally, no shirt.

Aspiring Butlers were awarded in three categories: MVB (Most Valuable Butler), won by Cameron Ricci, Most Buff Butler, won by Billy Kiraly, and Mr. Congeniality, won by Dan Palisay. The winners were awarded a gift certificate to Naked Hair Salon in Delray Beach.

Butlers in the Buff™ Florida is available in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Aventura, the Palm Beaches, Naples, Sarasota, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Daytona. BITB is available for a variety of customizable events, including bachelorette parties (known as “hen parties” in the U.K.), corporate events, wedding receptions, birthdays, and private parties. For more information, visit http://www.butlersinthebuff.com/, or call (941) 309-5430.
