Unraveling the Roman Carbonara Mystery
Carbonara Romana is a classic that has achieved global fame for its rich and creamy flavors. While its origins remain somewhat disputed, one thing is certain: the real Roman Carbonara is a testament to simplicity and the perfect balance of flavors.
Do you know the ingredients of our Carbonara romana in Malta?
Guanciale
Unlike the more common pancetta, genuine Roman Carbonara uses guanciale, which is cured pork jowl. Its distinct flavor and texture are essential to achieving the true Carbonara experience in Valletta.
Don’t trust Carbonara with Pancetta: it’s a fake!

Pecorino Romano DOP
A hard, salty sheep’s milk cheese, Pecorino Romano lends a unique tangy and salty kick to the sauce. It’s a critical component in creating the dish’s signature flavor.
Don’t use just any Pecorino: we use only Pecorino Romano DOP from Roma!
Eggs
Fresh, high-quality eggs provide the creamy texture of the sauce. The eggs are expertly mixed with the cheese and guanciale, contributing to the dish’s vibrant color.

Don’t choose poor-quality eggs: we use the best colored and genuine eggs!
Pepper
Coarsely ground black pepper is used to season the Carbonara, adding a pleasant heat and depth of flavor.
We never use pre-ground black pepper! Carbonara sauce deserves respect!
Pasta
Pasta is the queen of our cuisine! The pasta should be cooked al dente to perfection.
We use La Molisana pasta because it is always al dente and never lets us down!
