Onlookers said Ms Martin, whose famously Italian family know a thing or two about pizzas and pasta, was mightily impressed with the wood-fired pizzas at the Great North Road trattoria.

Ms Martin, a singer herself, is touring Sydney. Her promoter Enza Ortuso said Ms Martin was so impressed she complimented pizza chef Frank Angilletta, signed the menu and then took photos with staff.

“She especially loved the crust of her pizza, as well as the unique decor and atmosphere of the restaurant.”

The group included Ms Martin’s American managing director Rick Krive, Deana’s husband John Griffeth and Abstract Entertainment promoters Enza and Roy Ortuso.
