Carbonara My Way: how much does the variant with gold leaves cost

There are those who prepare carbonara with 24 carat gold leaves: how to prepare it and how much does chef Creti's My Way carbonara cost.

The carbonara recipe is a pillar of Italian cuisine, especially Roman cuisine, and everyone seems to have their own method and secrets for preparing it . Daniele Creti, Executive Chef of the Allegrìo restaurant located in the historic Via Veneto in Rome , has decided to take this dish to a higher level with his “Carbonara My Way” version. His interpretation not only pays homage to culinary tradition, but enriches it with a rather unusual and luxurious ingredient : 24-carat gold.

Attention to detail and the choice of ingredients represent the basis of Allegrìo 's “Carbonara My Way”. Eggs from free-range hens in the Frusinate area, bacon, low-salt pecorino cheese and Parmigiano Reggiano aged for 48 months for a lactose-free version . Everything is enriched with fresh black pepper and dried pasta prepared by an artisanal pasta factory. The carbocrema is prepared with care and dedication, carefully pasteurized to guarantee safety for the customer and a unique silky consistency.

After all this information your mouth will already be watering, but wait… because the element that distinguishes this particular version of carbonara is the use of edible gold , which is placed on the plate before being served, making every taste a unique experience.

Table service plays a fundamental role in the experience offered by Allegrìo . Taking up the tradition of gueridon service , chef Creti and his team finish the dish on the flame, stirring the carbonara directly in front of the customers, using golden utensils that reflect the exclusivity of the dish. This practice not only ensures freshness and perfection in the taste of the dish, but also adds a dramatic element to the entire experience.

Right at the end they add the gold leaves which are the co-protagonists of the iconic first course of the Italian (and Roman in particular) tradition.
