continued \u201cWhether it\u2019s dancing to the music or feasting at the table, I think it is a safe space where anyone can kind of rub shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone\u2019s just there for a great night out,\u201d Mario noted.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to recall his favorite star-studded moment yet \u2014 watching surprise performer Andrea Bocelli take the stage at the first-ever Carbone Beach in 2022 \u2014 and insisted he\u2019ll \u201cnever forget\u201d it.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Mario told us one of his core memories is Andrea Bocelli (pictured above at the inaugural Carbone Beach in 2022) performing for guests. <span class=\"credit\">Getty Images for Carbone Beach<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure

as possible,\u201d Mario (seen here with Bocelli in 2022) recalled. <span class=\"credit\">Getty Images for Carbone Beach<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mario recalled serving dinner to all 400 guests after the Italian tenor\u2019s performance because Bocelli, 67, needed a quiet room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe would be distracted by people eating and the sounds of people eating,\u201d the culinary heavyweight explained. \u201cTo have a performer on that level in our space and to be singing songs that I know really well and my mom loves \u2026 that whole experience was very, very emotional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mario has also treated some lucky A-listers to a tour inside the pop-up kitchen in years\u2019 past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ones that I know well, I\u2019ll bring people back,\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Larsa Pippen, Jeff Coby, Heather John and Daymond John (pictured above in

the Carbone brand can kind of jive with so many different genres [of music],\u201d Mario said before highlighting the \u201cwide range of styles and performances\u201d over the years \u2014 \u201ceverything from Andrea Bocelli to Jelly Roll doing country music, to hip hop, to R&amp;B, to rock and roll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cWe have a really wide demographic and generational demographic of customers. I think, because of that, everything from music from the \u201950s and \u201960s all the way up to the most contemporary seems to work for us. So there\u2019s almost nothing that\u2019s off limits when we\u2019re talking about who this year\u2019s performers could be.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>That same year, Amex x Carbone Beach 2025 guests included Andrew Schulz, Jelly Roll, Mario Carbone, Ryan Clark and Jeff Zalaznick. <span class=\"credit\">Getty Images for Amex x Carbone Beach<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are seen here at Amex x Carbone Beach 2025.  <span class=\"credit\">Getty Images for Amex x Carbone Beach<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The ritzy soir\u00e9e will serve up Carbone\u2019s signature dishes, like their revered spicy rigatoni vodka, Caesar alla ZZ and veal parmesan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main crux of the evening is gonna be Carbone classics and what you would expect us to be serving,\u201d Mario said, adding that any \u201cnew riffs\u201d would be presented in the raw bar area during cocktail hour.<\/p>\n<p>As for what gives Carbone Beach that secret sauce, he gushed that the event offers attendees a unique experience that improves and evolves each year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s really nothing quite like it between the Grand Prix,\u201d Mario said. \u201cBut I think just in general, over the last few years, it has really come into its own. It\u2019s a really very special event between the food production, the events production, the setting, the location and then certainly entertainment \u2014 the combination of all those things.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Brooklyn Beckham posed with Mario at Amex x Carbone Beach 2022. <span class=\"credit\">Getty Images for Carbone Beach<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>\u201cThere\u2019s really nothing quite like it,\u201d Mario (seen here in 2025) gushed to Page Six of the exclusive event. <span class=\"credit\">Getty Images for MGM Resorts<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Carbone Beach \u2014 also hosted by Mario\u2019s MFG co-founders Jeff Zalaznick and Rich Torrisi \u2014 will kick off Friday and run through Sunday after the final race.<\/p>\n<p>A-listers who have attended the private f\u00eate in the past include Ivanka Trump, Brooklyn Beckham, David Beckham, Travis Kelce, Tom Brady, LeBron James, James Codren, Serena Williams, Jamie Foxx and Jeff Bezos, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Previous surprise performers included Lauryn Hill, Kygo, The Chainsmokers, T-Pain, Diana Ross, Nas, LL Cool J, Wyclef Jean, Busta Rhymes and many more.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2026\/04\/29\/lifestyle\/chef-mario-carbone-dishes-on-favorite-celebrity-moments-ahead-of-annual-f1-party\/\" target=\"_blank\">Source link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of Carbone Beach\u2019s fifth annual supper club on the sand, Mario Carbone dished<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/126633802.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/login9ja.com\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
