Alarming video has shown the moment a Melbourne chef unleashed on a customer, trashing their table and throwing them out of the pizza restaurant.
An unnamed customer was recording a message for their boyfriend at Carlton venue Kaprica in April when chef Pietro Barbagallo appeared behind them.
'I literally had like, the chilliest food tonight, and it was so spicy,' the customer said to the camera in footage published by Nine newspapers.
Appearing behind them, Mr Barbagallo can be heard saying: 'Really? Really you have to do that?'
The customer responded: 'What's wrong?' but the chef, voice raised, went on: 'This is what you're doing in my restaurant, in my house.'
'This is so abusive,' the customer replied, but Mr Barbagallo started to tell the group they needed to leave and appeared to attempt to grab at the recording phone.
'You get out now,' he said, and can then be seen to grab the tablecloth, plates falling to the floor, as if to drag the dinner setting and food off the table.
'Turn that f***ing phone off! You and your f***ing phone! Get out of my f***ing restaurant!'' he shouted at customers.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Kaprica for comment on the incident.
Mr Barbagallo, who is Italian, owns several restaurants in Melbourne, including Kaprica in Carlton.
He was credited by The Age in 2005 with kick-starting Melbourne's 'pizza revolution'.
