La Carbonara
Lonely Planet review for La Carbonara
Favoured by the infamous Ragazzi di Panisperna, a group of young physicists, including Enrico Fermi, who constructed the first nuclear reactor and atomic bomb. He was probably inspired by La Carbonara’s delicious fried potato. Another speciality is the eponymous carbonara, though the restaurant is so-named because the first owner married a coal seller. The interior is covered in graffiti – tradition dictates that diners should leave their mark in a message on the wall.
