Toni Collette is not letting her separation from long-time husband Dave Galafassi prevent her from living life to the fullest while filming her new movie in Europe.

On Thursday, the Muriel's Wedding star, 51, shared a precious photo to Instagram capturing her having a picnic lunch with veteran actor Andy Garcia, 68, in Italy.

The pair were on the set of their upcoming movie called Under The Stars, which is being filmed in the Apulia region, and looked to be having the time of their lives together.

The Sydney-born star wore her blonde hair down around her shoulders and sported a stylish loose-fitting pink blouse and a gold chain necklace as she rested on a picnic blanket.

She held a wine glass in her hand and was seen laughing it up while engaged in lively conversation with her handsome co-star.

Their picnic basket was adorned with a variety of snacks including crackers, spreads, cheese dips, sliced bread and a bottle of wine.

Toni captioned the photo: 'Under the Stars with the fabulous Andy Garcia'. 

Their new film is a romantic comedy about a novelist who meets the woman of his dreams while on holiday in Italy - Toni will also star with Alex Pettyfer, (Magic Mike), and Eva De Dominici (The Cleaning Lady) in the Michelle Danner-directed film.

On Valentine's Day earlier this year, Toni appeared to take a brutal swipe at Dave when she shared a hilarious photo online to mark the romantic date.

The image showed a cockroach with the nametag Barney standing next to a broken heart symbol, with some rather telling words in the caption.

'Zoo lets you name a cockroach after your ex and feed it to an animal on Valentine's Day,' the cheeky post read.

The zoo in question is the San Antonio Zoo in Texas, which allows customers to name a cockroach for $US10 ($AU15.44), which will then be fed to a bird or lizard.
