Spaghetti Carbonara exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Spaghetti Carbonara made with real commitment to aged balsamic and technique. The deeply savory result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

Italian cooking is intensely regional with little crossover between provinces. The a Sunday ragu lunch was exactly right for this kind of eating. Chianti was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
