(Reuters) - A man walks past the shuttered Il Passetto restaurant in downtown Rome July 2, 2009. Italian authorities have shut down a historic Roman restaurant days after it charged a Japanese couple nearly 700 euros ($987.7) for a seafood lunch to become an unwitting symbol of tourist rip-offs in the capital. The tourists filed a fraud complaint with police after being surprised with a bill for 579.50 euros plus 115.50 euros in tip for downing pasta and lobster with wine and gelato at the Il Passetto restaurant just off the popular Piazza Navona square. Health inspectors arrived within days to shut down the 149-year old restaurant -- which has served stars ranging from Charlie Chaplin to Grace Kelly -- citing hygiene reasons.
