This is fun, but all I can think about is how annoying it would be if I were eating at a restaurant and some failed theatre kid interrupted my dinner conversation for a full minute so that they could film a video for the internet. Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, I dunno.
I'm a curmudgeon and I hate "I'm putting this on the internet!" situations - but I'd still be charmed if that happened to me.
interrupted my dinner conversation
Just eat while he's singing.
The thing about this is that it is rad, but it would be extremely irritating if this guy was singing any other sort of music.
The question is, what would be the most irritating music possible for someone to sing in a restaurant?
Best song would actually be any song off the Horse The Band Pizza EP.

This guy fucking rules. I work at a higher end Italian place mostly focused on pizzas. Our chef goes to like international contests and stuff (he was a punk rocker dishwasher who got to go to culinary school for free from a welfare thing when stuff was cool and then got a pizza job and just laser focused on that, he comes around mid tier and usually is just stoked to talk shop with high quality pizza guys). Anyway, if a guy came in, and blasted thsr quality opera while chowing down I would feel the most fucking proud of my work ever, would stop what I'm doing to go meet the guy, offer to buy him a drink and see if I could get him a job just eating pizza and singing
Oh fuck, I've got an idea. Me and some co-workers find an opera singer, maybe a couple dudes who could sneak in some instruments and we pay their tab if they just totally belt out some tunes.
How did I not think of this before? If anything it'd be good for business and it's still pretty funny. I can totally get juuust enough staff together on this that it will be a surprise for enough to be worth it.
I actually thought he was going to eat the pizza with a fork.
La Donna e Mobile always struck me as a bit incel-y and sexist to me. Might I recommend Bella Ciao instead?
It is the 1800s equivalent to a song today saying "females be lying and flaky, only know charge their phone eat hot chip and lie, can't trust then bro". I think it's funny that most of us are not aware what it's saying, and assume it's some fancy shit. In the context of Rigoletto it's just a drunk aristocrat being mad and drunk that a woman won't have sex with him.
If you're going to eat pizza, at least sing nice neapolitan songs: Funiculì Funiculà, or O Sole Mio. Not some northerner, incel shit.
