Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner were beloved members of the community, and their tragic deaths have left many mourning their loss. Recently, a restaurant owner shared poignant details about the couple’s final days, revealing that they spent a memorable meal at Amici in Los Angeles with their close friend, Maria Shriver.
### A Final Meal With a Friend
During an interview with the Daily Mail, Amici’s owner, Tancredi DeLuca, recounted how the Reiners met with Maria Shriver for a hearty lunch. The trio reportedly enjoyed the Sogliola Alla Mugnaia dish—a sole fish prepared with a lemon-caper sauce. DeLuca described the couple as exceptionally kind and respectful to the staff.
“They were very good people, always very approachable and so very kind to the entire staff. We are all in complete shock. We are all saddened about what happened. They are very down to earth and always treated everyone here very well,” he said.
### A Parent’s Worst Nightmare
Following the Reiners’ deaths, Maria Shriver released a heartfelt statement expressing her grief.
“I loved Michele and Rob Reiner. We raised our kids together, from mommy and me on up. We laughed together, we cried together, we played together, we dreamed together,” she wrote. “We had dinner this past week, and they were in the best place in their lives: loving one another, loving their friends, their family, their country.”
Reports indicate that Rob and Michele were allegedly murdered by their son, Nick Reiner, who had been battling drug and alcohol addiction for many years. According to information from the Los Angeles Times, Nick was prescribed schizophrenia medication just hours before the incident. The specific medication has not yet been disclosed.
### “We Should Have Been Listening to Our Son”
Rob and Michele were always open about Nick’s struggles with addiction. In a previous interview with the Los Angeles Times, Rob acknowledged the challenges of finding effective treatment programs.
“When Nick would tell us that it wasn’t working for him, we wouldn’t listen. We were desperate, and because the people had diplomas on their wall, we listened to them when we should have been listening to our son,” Rob shared.
A source told People magazine that Nick’s condition worsened over time, making it difficult for his parents to maintain stability.
“They could never reach stability with Nick. They tried everything—giving him space, keeping him close—but his struggles are so deep. It’s just a parent’s worst nightmare,” the source said.
### Where Is Nick Reiner Now?
As of this writing, Nick Reiner remains in solitary confinement at Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. Reports indicate that he is currently on suicide watch and is required to wear a blue suicide-prevention smock at all times.
