George Clooney is back on the dating scene - the actor has been linked to an Italian TV presenter after they were photographed together in Rome.

The sexy star has been single since splitting from longtime girlfriend Sarah Larson last year, but he has reportedly found love again with Elisabetta Canalis, an actress and TV host who presents the Italian version of MTV's "Total Request Live" music show.

The pair was snapped enjoying a double dinner date in Rome at the city's Hotel Majestic last week and Clooney and Canalis were photographed cuddling up during a romantic evening out on Sunday.

In the candid shots, published online, Clooney, 48, is seen sharing a chair with 30-year-old Canalis, with his arms wrapped around her waist.

The star owns an Italian villa on the shores of Lake Como and is spending time in the region as he prepares to start filming new movie "A Very Private Gentleman" there next month.
