Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are 'absolutely amazing'

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are "good-hearted people", according to an Italian restaurant owner.

The loved-up couple recently dined at Trattoria Della Santa in Bologna, the day before Selena’s 34th birthday, and restaurant owner Riccardo Lelli has now heaped praise on the celebrity duo, describing them as "absolutely amazing".

Speaking to People, he shared: "They were absolutely amazing, very lovely, good-hearted people.

"They showered us with compliments for the food, for the service, and they were just great clients."

Waitress Saria Ahmed has also lavished praise on the high-profile couple.

She said: "It was just a great experience."

Despite this, Saria did recall one slightly awkward and embarrassing moment.

She explained: "I actually did a little faux pas with them.

"They asked for a couple of glasses of prosecco, and they asked for another round, and I recommended them the bottle because it was more convenient.

"And while I was going to get it, I was like, ‘What did I just say to them? Why did I say this?’, as if they need something more economic. So I was just laughing with myself … It’s my job."

Meanwhile, Selena previously explained that she wants to "keep evolving".

The 34-year-old star has already achieved significant success as a singer and as an actress, but Selena has no intention of slowing down in the coming years.

The brunette beauty - who married Benny in 2025 - told Allure: "I want to keep evolving and getting better in every area of my life. And I want to experience everything, so it's important for me to keep myself in check.

"I'm so stoked that when an emotion pops up, I'm able to acknowledge it and be a part of it, then let it go."

Selena has also enjoyed enormous success with her Rare Beauty make-up brand, with the company reported to be worth more than $1 billion.

However, Selena is always open to new ideas and business ventures.

The Only Murders in the Building star said: "I am going to be in this moment. And who knows, in a couple years I could be done, and that's fine. I just need to make sure that while I'm here, I do the best I can."
