Our carbonara dishes

Only the traditional ingredients

The Roman recipe is simple, and that is exactly what makes it hard: guanciale browned until crisp, egg yolks and pecorino tossed off the heat with a splash of pasta water, for a glossy sauce that coats the pasta without scrambling.

Fancy something different?

Next to the classic you will find our salmon carbonara on handmade tonnarelli: fresh salmon, egg, pecorino and pepper.
