IVANA TRUMP
The Trump matriarch was a frequent visitor to the Italian eatery and appeared in good spirits, if a little fatigued, when she dropped by on Wednesday afternoon, Altesi's owner Paola Alavian told The US Sun through tears.
"As always she asked me how I was doing - she was always supporting us - and we just shared an extremely normal conversation, the kind I had almost every day I saw her," Alavian said.
"Her health seemed normal, she looked maybe a little bit tired, but she otherwise seemed okay."
Alavian said he couldn't remember what Ivana ordered but described her meal as a "very, very small amount of food."
