George Clooney's bachelor party: Click for details

George Clooney said goodbye to bachelorhood in Venice with a stag party at his favourite restaurant with Hollywood chums, and Saturday was gearing up for a day of pre-wedding celebrations with his glamorous lawyer bride.

The actor had swept into the floating city on Friday with his British fiancee Amal Alamuddin on a watertaxi dubbed "Amore", zipping up the Grand Canal to cheers from fans at the start of nuptials set to draw out over the weekend.

As evening approached and girls across the world sobbed, one of the world's most eligible bachelors set out in black tie for an all-boys do with friends to celebrate one of his last nights as a single man.

After shaking off paparazzi, Clooney headed to Da Ivo near Saint Mark's Square where he dined with friends on the venue's prized Venetian and Tuscan delicacies.

A waiter at the restaurant said the group tucked into a banquet of stuffed zucchini flowers, figs and ham and fresh Tagliolini pasta with truffles.
Clooney was then reported to have headed to the luxurious Cipriani hotel where he slept, but not before rounding off the evening with some shots and cigars.

The 53-year-old actor had 100 cases of his own tequila label flown in for his wedding and was expected to have cracked open bottles of the award-winning tipple at the stag party.
