| Sleek Restaurant and Lounge Il Bacio Opens in Delray |
|
Il Bacio Restaurant and Ultra Lounge opened earlier this month in Delray Beach, combining a traditional Italian restaurant and modern after-hours lounge into one venue. Italian for “the kiss,” Il Bacio is outfitted with granite tabletops, champagne-colored leather banquettes, and crystal chandeliers in the main room. Designed by owner Steven Pellegrino, the 5,000-square-foot main room can seat 175 or accommodate 250 for receptions.
A corner table separated from the main space by white silk string reminiscent of fringed flapper dresses can serve as a V.I.P. space for six. The bar can also be used separately from the main room for seated events for 50. Across from the bar at the back of the room, the private champagne area seats 12, with more white fringe separating it from the main space. |

A 12,000-square-foot outdoor courtyard is outfitted with five cabanas, each of which seats eight and is served by a personal cocktail waitress. Ideal for larger events, the outdoor area can seat 500 or accommodate twice as many for receptions. The built-in 700-square-foot stage can be used for entertainment, with a table for six on stage, or solely as a V.I.P. table for 10. The restaurant recently purchased an eight-foot barbecue grill for its weekly parties that is available for private events as well.
Il Bacio is equipped with a full sound and lighting system and two built-in DJ booths. Outside vendors are allowed.
