Noosa chef at waterfront restaurant where Michael Clarke dined before park brawl speaks out

The chef who served Michael Clarke and Jade Yarbrough before their ugly showdown in Noosa has revealed that they were perfectly civil at his Italian restaurant.

Andrea Ravezzani, the chef and owner of the Noosa Waterfront restaurant in Noosaville, said the celebrity couple and their fellow dinner guests Jasmine and Karl Stefanovic “did good” and enjoyed their prawns ahead of the 9:30 melee. p.m

A new timeline for the now-infamous stoush also emerged, with Mr. Ravezzani saying it was definitely a Friday night they dined at his chef’s hat restaurant.

Daily Mail Australia has also independently confirmed that the couple dined on a Friday, likely Friday January 13, after tensions erupted between the former Australian cricket captain and Ms Yarbrough several days earlier.

Mr Ravezzani told Sunshine Coast FM Radio Hot 91: “Yes, they were there having dinner on Friday night, they didn’t fight over the prawns or anything like that” and that the restaurant had no idea about the latest stoush in the nearby barbecue area.

Andrea Ravezzani (above with his wife and marketing manager Kerri Ravezzani) said he served Clarke and Yarbourgh, who “were fine” over a prawn dinner at his Noosa Waterfront restaurant before heading to nearby Lyons Park, where the fight began. .

The couple pitted earlier seemed to be “doing it” as they dined on shrimp at the only chef’s hat restaurant prized for its classic Italian cuisine, along with Karl and Jasmine Stefanovic.

When asked by radio hosts Sam Coward and Ash Gierke if “they were okay when they left you and then everything went wrong”, he agreed, saying he only found out when his friends in Europe sent him a screenshot of the fight.

“We don’t know anything about it,” said Ravenazzi, whose restaurant menu includes a Fritto Misto selection of crab, shrimp, calamari and whitebait.

A Noosaville resident confirmed that the area where the stoush took place, in which Karl Stefanovic and his wife Jasmine were caught on the sidelines, was usually deserted after 9pm, but that “it was school holidays.”

Despite the reports, the now notorious altercation occurred on Tuesday, January 10, the restaurant was closed that night, and multiple sources, as well as Mr. Ravezzani, have corroborated the Friday event.

The footage shows the Stefanovics, Clarke and Yarbrough having a happy time on the beach on Saturday, January 7, before tensions erupted the next day.

Video has emerged of the couple in tense arguments at the Noosa mansion of celebrity accountant Anthony Bell on Sunday, January 8, where the couple had been staying.

In the footage, Clarke waves her hands in the air towards Jade as she turns her back to him and visibly pushes away an attempt by the former cricketer to touch her hand.

Clarke was then seen out and about on Sunday with her daughter Kelsey Lee, who was dropped off in Burleigh Heads to be with her mother, Clarke’s ex-wife Kyly Boldy.

Clarke is then believed to have returned to Sydney and flew back to Noosa later in the week before the explosive after-dinner fight broke out on the Noosa Waterfront.

Chef at the Noosa Waterfront restaurant, Andrea Ravezzani, said he and his staff were completely unaware of the melee that broke out after the two couples moved out of their premises and the fight spilled over outside the barbecue area at nearby Lyons Park ( left and right).

Now shirtless and limping with a hamstring injury, Clarke rails against Karl Stefanovic in the grounds in front of the barbecue pavilion (above) at Lyons Park, Noosaville.

‘You’re lying to me. You are a piece of s**t. I just talked to her. What’s wrong?’ Mrs. Yarbrough yells at Clarke, referring to her suspicion that she had slept with her ex-girlfriend, designer Pip Edwards.

“It’s not true, it’s not true,” Clarke replies and Jasmine Stefanovic finally steps in and takes her distraught sister by the arm.

Clarke then unleashes her fury on Karl Stefanovic, telling the Today show host, “Karlos, I can tell you now, shit, don’t walk away.” She can, she can hit me, but you idiot’.

The incident has been reported to Queensland Police, who are investigating.

Kerri Ravezzani declined to comment further on the night in question, saying “the privacy of our guests is of the utmost importance to us.”
