"Hello, lovely gentleman" is an English equivalent of the Italian phrase Ciao, amabile gentiluomo.*

Specifically, the greeting ciao means "hi, hello," but can be used to start and end an interaction. The feminine/masculine adjective amabile means "lovely." The masculine noun gentiluomo means "gentleman."

The pronunciation is "tchow** ah-MAH-bee-leh DJEHN-tee-LWOH-moh."

*The term emphasizes how well-bred the gentleman is. But the phrase has the appeal of being the Nurse's description of Paris as "lovely gentleman" (amabile gentiluomo) in Act 3 Scene 5 of "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616). So another possibility is signore, which also means "gentleman" and is pronounced "see-NYOH-reh."
