The allegations were made after a diner from Slovenia went to a restaurant in Padua, northern Italy, and asked for the Chinese delicacy of bear paws.

The waiter, who was not named in reports, claims his picture of human feet were the ‘bear paws’ that were later served to the Slovenian and his friends.

Dirt and grease was reportedly also found all over the refrigerators, on the floors and on the oven and packages of frog legs and crab meat were reportedly out of date.

A forensic pathologist claims the feet appear to be human but said they are still investigating the image’s origin.

It is unclear whether the restaurant remains open.
