NEW YORK -- Madonna and her boy toy Brahim Zaibat brought their own wine -- and wine glasses -- for a romantic dinner at New York's Osteria Cotta.

Spies at the restaurant and wine bar said she arrived with Zaibat at 10:30pm on Saturday night and ordered arugula salad, pizza margherita, bruschetta and a side of roasted cauliflower. And her young lover picked up the check.

But fellow diners were surprised when Madonna brought her own red wine in a bag, along with two beautiful crystal glasses.

They poured the wine and immediately put the bottle back in the bag, so nobody could see what it was, sources said. At the end, they took the empty wine bottle and the glasses with them.

"We couldn't figure out if Madonna prefers specific wine, or is a total germaphobe," a source added.

Spies said Zaibat picked up the bill, paying with his credit card -- but not before Madonna ordered him to tip well.

The spy added, "They left with their arms around each other, hip to hip."

Madonna's rep did not respond.
