Jimmy Fallon is an appreciative diner.

During a dinner at Il Mulino, a restaurant in the Hamptons, on Monday, the 43-year-old host of "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" paid another table's bill because they didn't interrupt his meal with his wife, producer Nancy Juvonen.

"He went up to them said, 'I appreciate you guys not wanting to disturb us. I knew you wanted to say hello,'" Enzo Lentini, the restaurant's general manager, told Newsday. "So he picked up the tab. With tip it was $1,136."

Lentini said the two middle-aged couples at the table were excited to sit near the host but stayed calm.

"They wanted to jump out of their skin," he said. "But they were cool — they didn't want to interrupt him."

Claire Mercuri, Fallon's spokesperson, confirmed the story to Newsday.
