Brad Pitt and George Clooney are double-dating in Venice!.
The actors went on a double dinner date with their respective partners, Ines de Ramon and Amal Clooney, after arriving for the 81st Venice International Film Festival in Italy on Saturday, Aug. 31, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal.
The group dined at Ristorante Da Ivo in Venice, which is one of George and Amal’s favorite restaurants and a must-stop for the couple whenever they travel to the city.
Pitt, 60, de Ramon, 34, George, 63, and Amal, 46, made a glamorous entrance as they all arrived by motorboat taxi directly from the 5-star island hotel where George and Amal resided amid their trip.
For the evening occasion, Pitt wore a white shirt with cream pants and white shoes, while his girlfriend de Ramon wore a black fitted dress and black stilettos with a gray Kelly handbag. George, meanwhile, wore a blue suit with a white shirt, as Amal sported a black dress.
During their time at the restaurant, Pitt, de Ramon, George and Amal were served fiori di zucca in pastella (zucchini flowers in batter stuffed with mozzarella), porcini mushrooms and truffle risotto, tagliata di manzo (sliced beef) and paccheri pasta, which was paired with red and white wine.
Their meal was wrapped up with a serving of tiramisù for Pitt and George, as de Ramon and Amal had wild strawberries with wild strawberry sorbet.
The group stayed for approximately two hours, as George spent half an hour playing host to a party of Apple TV executives who were also dining there, after originally booking the restaurant for a private event that evening.
Following their double date, Pitt was the first to exit with de Ramon into the motorboat taxi. George was last to leave the restaurant and interacted briefly with the crowd, telling them “buonanotte,” goodnight in Italian, and even dancing a shimmy on his way out.
One Apple TV party member told PEOPLE, “George took over the running of the restaurant for about half an hour. He went around to all our tables pretending to take the orders.”
“The menu that had been established had a whole complicated and long explanation on it for each dish … but George just made his interpretation of it and it was absolutely hilarious. He had us all in tears laughing,” they continued.
“Oh, and by the way, his sidekick was Brad Pitt. …. Who is ever going to believe us?” the party member playfully added.
