Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Rome is visited with the eyes, but it is truly understood at the table. And among all the dishes that tell the city, carbonara is the definitive test.Five-Star Carbonara is a semi-serious, practical, and very hungry guide to 28 places in Rome where carbonara deserves attention: historic trattorias, neighborhood addresses, celebrated restaurants, contemporary kitchens, and unexpected detours.Built from a reasoned reading of online reviews, this book does not claim to crown the absolute best carbonara in Rome. Instead, it helps readers understand where carbonara is most consistently praised, how expectations change from Trastevere to Testaccio, from the historic center to Centocelle, and what travelers should know before choosing a table.Inside you will find 28 restaurant profiles, neighborhoods, addresses, prices, practical tips, a schematic map of Rome's carbonara addresses, a minimal glossary for decoding Roman pasta language, five carbonara-inspired recipes, and a tone serious enough for planning and comic enough for Rome.For travelers, food lovers, Italophiles, and anyone who believes that a plate of pasta can become a map of a city, Five-Star Carbonara is an affectionate guide to Rome, online reviews, and the glorious impossibility of finding the perfect carbonara.
