The location of Tom Cruise's wedding to Katie Holmes is currently showbiz's best-kept secret but insiders say guests are sure to be offered the best of Italian cuisine.
Roman gossip gurus think the actor will be turning to his favourite Italian restaurant, Dal Bolognese in Rome's Piazza del Popolo, to cater for the most eagerly awaited celebrity wedding in years.
Alfredo Tomaselli, owner of the famed eatery that has just opened a highly successful Milan branch, is keeping mum of course - but then he had to sign a confidentiality agreement before flying in three of his chefs to cook Tom his favourite pasta with artichokes on his 43rd birthday bash in the Caribbean last year.
"If you see one of my establishments closed that day then you'll know," is all Tomaselli was prepared to tell an Italian magazine this week.
Meanwhile speculation is running higher than ever about the location of the ceremony itself as the rumoured wedding date, November 23, approaches.
Two plush Italian lakeside villas, George Clooney's on Lake Como and a former Mussolini residence on Lake Garda, have appeared in gossip mags.
Holmes, accompanied on a recent trip by firm friend Victoria Beckham, is rumoured to have fallen in love with the Garda locale, Villa Feltrinelli - less for Il Duce than more artistic past guests like Isadora Duncan and Grace Kelly.
There have also been reports that the world's best-known Scientologist may choose the home of Catholicism, Rome, to ease the pressure he has been under for alleged erratic behaviour some link to his beliefs.
But some think all the Italian reports are a smoke screen and Cruise will wed his young bride - and mother of their infant daughter Suri - where he proposed to her, in Paris.
