Serious stargazing in Roma
On February 17, the A-list is expected
at the new Brunello Lounge & Restaurant in Roma, writes Stanley

FOOD, FASHION
AND FAME are set to combine next Saturday in Roma, as the
new Brunello Lounge & Restaurant hosts a launch party bringing
out the A-list for a night of serious bling, Italian-style. The
début of this exciting new crossroads in the Eternal City
means pageantry of a high order and the 450 guests are certain to
experience la dolce vita on all sides. The event is set to
feature a blinding array of entertainment figures, international
celebrities, haute couture on parade, gastronomic virtuosity amid
the participation of legendary luxury brands. Sunglasses definitely
a must.
It's not every day that a glamorous new space opens on the Via Veneto,
with so much to recommend it. First, there's the décor, a
gold-gilded bar and restaurant space overlooking the famed avenue,
a place to see and be seen. Next, there's the menu, a Mediterranean
symphony of innovative culinary creations by celebrity chef Daniele
Sera. Mention should be made of the signature cocktails including
Martini Chanel, which features drops of the celebrated No. 5 fragrance
on the goblet's stem, or a Cocktail Brunello Porte Bonheur which
arrives with a luxury gift for the esteemed client. Finally, there's
the future: a hot spot, an instant classic, a place where you can
rendezvous with friends in a spanking new drawing room, or settle
into an intimate corner for a refined luncheon or supper accompanied
by selections from an extraordinary list of 500 fine wines.
It doesn't get any better than this, so if you
happen to be around that night, gas up the Ferrari, drape your white
scarf around your neck, polish your Ray-Bans, put a little Nino
Rota on the iPod, practice saying Ciao in a cavalier
way, and brush up on your air kisses. You're guaranteed to have
the time of your life, caro.
