Selena Gomez rang in her 34th birthday this week with a quiet celebration in Italy, and the staff of the restaurant that hosted her the night before are sharing what the visit was like.
Gomez and her husband, producer Benny Blanco, dined at Trattoria della Santa in Bologna on July 21, choosing to sit outside beneath the city's historic arched walkways rather than the private table originally reserved for them. Restaurant owner Riccardo Lelli told People, through an interview translated by waitress Saria Ahmed, that the couple left a lasting impression. "They were absolutely amazing, very lovely, good-hearted people," Lelli said. "They showered us with compliments for the food, for the service, and they were just great clients."
Lelli shared a photo of the visit on the restaurant's Instagram, thanking the couple for stopping by. The dinner capped off a European getaway for the pair, who married in an intimate Santa Barbara ceremony in September 2025.
Gomez, who has spoken openly in the past about her Christian faith and her love for worship music from artists like Hillsong UNITED, continues to draw attention less for headlines and more for the everyday moments - like a warm review from restaurant staff - that reflect who she is off-camera.
Happy birthday, Selena!
