Diner pleasantly surprised to find five pearls in his oyster

A diner in Italy got a pleasant surprise when he ordered oysters at a restaurant in Salerno and discovered five pearls inside.



Giuseppe Di Bianco wanted was a romantic evening out with his girlfriend, Francesca. So he called up the Nonna Maria restaurant and asked the manager, Luigi D’Urso, to prepare some of the fancy clams ahead of their visit, only to be told there were none in stock.

Disappointed, Di Bianco pleaded with d’Urso to replenish supplies, saying he had promised Francesa. Eager to please his customer, D’Urso went to the nearby fish market, which fortunately was still open but there were only three oysters left.



Their evening then got even better. Alongside a bottle of champagne, the couple were served their oysters and when Mr Di Bianco opened his, he found five pearls inside. The pearls are now being valued and could be worth around €2,000.
