No joke, this was the best Carbonara outside of Rome I’ve ever had, and I have Carbonara a lot. Maria was amazing as a server and I loved the sparking wine she recommended, the Trento. I also really appreciated that they held our table when we had train trouble on a busy night: can’t recommend this spot enough!
