Carbonara - the Italian way

Cream? Pfft. Chicken? Fuggedaboutit!

Here at Filini we make real Italian Carbonara, using spaghetti, pancetta, egg yolks, parmigiana, olive oil and pepper. 

Fun Fact: The name is (thought to be) derived from carbonaro (the Italian word for charcoal burner), as some believe the dish was first made as a hearty meal for Italian charcoal workers.
