Michela Malatini used social media to trace two French women and presented them with their €44 bill
An Italian pizzeria owner has been praised for her bravery after managing to track down a pair of “dine and dash” tourists and handing them the bill.
The French women had enjoyed pizza and a few glasses of Aperol spritz at Ai Due Re pizzeria in Civitanova Marche, a town on the Adriatic coast, racking up a €44 bill. But they left without paying.
Michela Malatini, the pizzeria’s owner, told local media the pair arrived without a reservation and had ordered two pizzas and four spritzes. “When it was time to pay, they got up and slowly walked out of the door,” she said.
They might have got away with it, except for surveillance cameras and the power of social media.
