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.

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.”

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.

“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’.
