I've eaten a lot of pasta carbonara in several Italian restaurants (Rome, Paris, Barcelona etc) and I can tell you that it's simply perfect. And for my wife, pasta with truffles is also perfect..

Gaucho had a special deal where they offered guests a free 2 course meal and you only paid for drinks, service charge. We had a lovely meal (fish and steak) which tasted great. Staff were attentive from the minute we arrived at restaurant. An enjoyable lunch!
