Gianluigi Donnarumma dined at team-mate Erling Haaland’s lucky restaurant twice in a week.
The Man City goalie is now a regular at Vero Moderno.
The £26m stopper – nicknamed Gigio – popped in for an Italian meal on Monday (6 Oct) night.

He was also there last Wednesday (1 Oct).
The Italian eatery in Salford, Gtr Manc was made famous last May.
Striker Haaland regularly tucks into a pasta, cream and mushroom meal there.
It was dubbed ‘The Hat Trick Pasta’ by owner Beppe Piccoli because he always scored after eating it.
A spokesperson said: “Gigio’s back again for his Vero Moderno fix, and who can blame him?

“When the food’s this good, the service’s top-notch, and Paolo’s running the show, you know you’re in for a proper treat.
“Always a pleasure having you back, Gigio.”
Donnarumma, 26, paid a visit before meeting up with the Italy national team.

They play Estonia on Saturday (11 Oct) and then Israel on Tuesday (14 Oct) in World Cup qualifiers, as reported on What’s The Jam.
Local John Swainson said: “I knew he’d be next.”
Ian Smith joked: “Is it because your food is just like his momma used to make?”
One – called Phil – said: “Two Italian legends.”
Andy – a fan of rival Man Utd – joked: “He’s a closet red.”
A host of City players – past and present – and manager Pep Guardiola have eaten there too.
Ruben Diaz visited with Rodri as has Jeremy Doku.
Manuel Akanji – on loan at Inter Milan – and Ilkay Gündoğan sold in the summer to Galatasaray have too.
Jack Grealish – who is at Everton for the season – is also a fan.
Donnarumma won the Champions League with PSG last season.
He played there for four seasons and made 104 appearances, having previously been at AC Milan.
The goalkeeper is captain for Italy and has been capped 76 times.
He was part of the team that beat England on penalties in the Euro 2020 final, saving two spot kicks.
