Leonardo DiCaprio and Camila Morrone loaded Italian in the North End

Leonardo DiCaprio has largely maintained a low profile since arriving in Boston to film the Adam McKay Netflix comedy “Don’t Look Up.” But DiCaprio and girlfriend Camila Morrone were briefly in the public eye on New Year’s Eve when they visited the North End to pick up the benefits of a hearty Italian feast.

DiCaprio, Morrone and another woman visited Table Mercato on Thursday afternoon and loaded up pasta, sauces, homemade potato chips, fig jam and other items from Italian store owner Jen Royle. Royle, who runs Table Mercato and the adjoining Italian restaurant Table, said DiCaprio was one of the first customers to ever need a basket to pick up all of his items, which she said was for a stay-at-home meal.

“They stay inside, no one is going to eat on New Year’s Eve,” Royle told Boston.com on Saturday afternoon. “They probably just wanted to charge well, close the blinds and cook.”

Royle said she was working in the basement of the store when DiCaprio and Morrone came through, but said the store’s employees and customers recognize the actor.

“The people in the store said he only had the bluest eyes they’ve ever seen,” Royle said. “You can’t mistake him for anyone else, not even the mask.”

Thank you @LeoDiCaprio because I am after me @MercatoTABLE last night. I have no idea what you bought, but I hope it was good! 😬
