STALLONE TARGETED IN RESTAURATEUR'S TELL-ALL
A New York restaurateur has slammed SYLVESTER STALLONE in a new tell-all book, alleging the action star frequently ordered high-priced items he seemingly couldn't afford.
Italian-born businessman Pino Luongo - who claims New York's Il Cantinori among his celebrity-dining hot-spots - rants about his celebrity clientele in his forthcoming tome, Dirty Dishes.
In an excerpt from the revealing book, Luongo recalls Stallone splashing out on dinner with U.S. tycoon Ronald Perelman at exclusive Upper East Side eatery Coco Pazzo, only to have his assistant call to complain about his extortionate drinks tab.
Luongo writes, "Stallone was shocked to see that he had an $800 (GBP432) wine tab. If he can't afford or doesn't want to spend a lot of money on wine, then he shouldn't order things without asking how much they cost."

The restaurant owner here is the calprit I bet. A person knows what they drank
and how much roughly it should cost. Two bits the owner see's a celebrity come
in and figures he'll add more to the tab than what the drinks were worth as
he's hoping the celebrity won't question it. Good for stallone for questioning
it. I'd do the same just because your a celebrity doesn't mean its okay to
raise and put a little extra on the tab. Even more reason why any celebrity
should check the bill. This restaurant owner was trying to profit out of this
and put extra in his pocket. Good stallone wasn't born yesterday. And called
the guy on it. Its not a matter of can't affording it. its a matter of not
abusing just because you can Afford it. theres a big difference.

That guy at the restaurant was probably trying to stiff him for more than the
wine was just because he's a celebrity. Of course I'd question it too. A person
knows what they drank. Just because the man has money doesn't mean he's a fool
and throws it away. This restaurant owner was trying to sneak some extra money
out of him I bet good for Stallone for not being born yesterday and questioning
it. Its not the matter of not asking or looking like he can't afford it or
being cheap. its the point of paying for what you bought . and not hiway
robbery from the restaurant.
