Jennifer Aniston Dines with Woody Allen & Wife

Originally posted 08/27/2008 11:15AM

Looks like some new Friends in the making: Jennifer Aniston dined with director Woody Allen and his wife Soon Yi Tuesday night at the West Hollywood Italian eatery Madeo.

A relatively unfamiliar figure out West, Allen – who shared a booth in the back of the restaurant with Aniston, Soon-Yi and another gentleman – was barely noticed by the other patrons, while Aniston appeared to keep her profile low.

Came time to leave, the actress exited through the back of Madeo, while the Allens encountered the 30 or so paparazzi out front. Must've made the filmmaker feel like he was back in New York.
