Not even a rainstorm could keep guests from attending Saturday night's red-carpet opening of Vic and Angelo's in Delray Beach. Orchestrated by the Gab Group PR & Marketing, this exclusive event on October 4 gave eventgoers an evening that tapped into the senses through elaborate interior design, high-quality food, and perfect lighting and sound-as well as beautiful fellow guests.
Particular attention was drawn to the simple yet sophisticated decor of the restaurant. Designed by Lynn Manero of Lynn Interior Designs, the venue features an array of reds, from the bottles of Chianti and red leather bar chairs to Campari bottle light fixtures. Flat-screen televisions decorate the Chicago-style brick walls, while plush dark brown leather booths, mosaic tiling, and dark wooden floors channel the Italian eatery's roots with a modern update. Outside, orange gel lighting was used to draw focus to the V.I.P. event.
Throughout the evening, Vic and Angelo's servers provided tapas-style samples of the menu-created by celebrity chef Glen Manfra of David Manero Restaurants-including bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms, fried ravioli, and a variety of coal-fired pizzas-all accompanied by a selection of wines. Additionally, Roberto Cavalli-clad models served Cavalli Vodka cocktails courtesy of Southern Wine and Spirits, while Charlie Cortez, DeVito South Beach's resident VJ, provided musical entertainment.
