Amal and George Clooney Dine on Pasta and Wine During Their Romantic Italian Vacation



When in Italy, you should eat as the Italians do — and George and Amal Clooney are perfect examples of that.

The couple, who own an estate in Lake Como, have been spotted dining around the elite destination on date nights and with family members. So what is their most frequent order? Pasta, of course.
“[Amal] orders whatever she feels like, even if it is a starter, a plate of homemade pasta and a dessert,” says Paolo Quarantotto, who owns Il Gatto Nero restaurant in Cernobbio, where the two often dine. “If we have a special dish of the day, both George and Amal will have a taste along with whatever they order.”

While the pair — who will celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary Sept. 27 — dined at Harry’s Bar in Cernobbio, they had a similar order.
A waiter tells PEOPLE that when he brought out their homemade pasta dishes, George jokingly pointed to Amal and said, “She eats, and I put it on.”
“Mrs. Clooney likes to try different dishes, both pasta and main courses,” says the waiter.

When entertaining famous friends with kids like Julia Roberts and Edward Norton at home, the Clooneys also like to whip up homemade pizzas in their pizza oven, says an insider.
The Clooneys also seem to know that no Italian meal is complete without good wine.
“They choose their wines carefully in line with their orders and consult each other on them,” says Quarantotto. “It’s very sweet.”

So, the story here is that the Clooneys order pasta at Italian restaurants...?

If they go to Jimbo' s Rib Shack and ask for sushi, that's a story. This, no.

........could be that they're sick of the silly comments about her being too thin. But on the other hand, I'm pretty sure that the restaurants are only too willing to get another bite of the cherry on the international publicity machine.

Confirms what I thought - that she can eat what she likes irrespective........

......and love the George quote..........

Think George is too hard on himself. He always looks pretty fit. Don't think he needs to worry about eating too much pasta.

As a George fan I like reading about what he likes to eat. I like knowing that he spends time picking out the right wine. Don't know who the "insider" is saying that George and Amal are whipping up pizzas for their house guests. Hmmmm ..... Maybe George and the house cook. Amal is pouring the wine.

Well she is a grown woman so I have never doubted she eats what she wants. I either read or saw in an interview with George that they have pizza night at the villa , it's either wed, Thurs night.

This is an old pic right? Or am I confused?

yes, old pic.
