Rob and Kristen's hot dinner date...........or not.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the gorgeous Twilight couple dined together at Cecconi's, West Hollywood's newest hotspot.

The hostess at the restaurant told us they seemed like they were a couple, but other staffers weren't so sure.

One waiter told us that Rob and Kristen seemed "really close", but that he didn't think they were lovers, because they didn't seem to be flirting at all.

Rob was drinking red wine, and a bus boy told us they were laughing at things that happened at the MTV Movie Awards. (perhaps Sacha Baron Cohen landing his butt in Eminem's face, or when Kristen dropped her Best Female Performance Award and broke it?)

We're told Kristen was acting embarassed, and Rob was laughing along, like he thought it was endearing.

Kristen's boyfriend Michael Arangano was nowhere to be seen as the couple left fans waiting out front, and slipped out the back door right before 11 pm.

Our spies tell us Kristen and Rob retired to a West Hollywood hotel.

Poor Rob. Poor Kristen! RadarOnline even called their people their spies. They FINALLY (okay, only somewhat) admitted that what they are doing is SPYING, an intrusion into people's privacy. Rob and Kristen were just trying to have a nice quiet dinner after those crazy awards, okay? We all know they're just good friends.
