In reply to Isa.

As far as I know, Giulio’s doesn’t offer a carbonara, though I have no doubt they could if they chose. I’ll have to check out L’Adesso if they are making it right! They don’t list one on their online menu, so I hadn’t put it on my list to check out. Interestingly, in another video, Salgado Alimentos, which I normally like quite a bit, demonstrates making it, but uses cream. Mauro is on my list to go back and check out, because yes, I know he makes it without cream – though various critics have said he overloads it with pancetta. We shall see! And yes – it’s an easy and cheap dish to make at home – another reason I rarely bother to order when out.

Last night we watched ‘E il cibo va’ on Netflix and they showed the restaurant L’Adesso here in Buenos Aires doing a genuine carbonara. The chef is Italian. The footage of Argentinian restaurants cooking ‘italian’ pasta was not for the (Italian) faint of heart. Also the pizza makers in Argentina and the US left my stomach upset. Ouch!

I never went to L’Adesso. The only carbonara I had here was at Mauro.it. I am sure at Giulio’s they make a genuine carbonara, as well. It is just cheaper to make at home 😉
