Otto Enoteca Pizzeria
PC: @ottopizzeriaThe Spaghetti Alla Carbonara at Otto is dressed with pancetta, scallions and sprinkled with black pepper. We love to down this gourmet pasta with a side of homemade pizza and red wine. Try the gelato for dessert for the full experience.
L’Artusi
PC: @lartusiSmall plates and an extensive wine offering make up the menu at L’artusi, a trendy West Village eatery that happens to be our favorite restaurant in NYC. This modern, multi-level spot serves an incredible Spaghetti Carbonara with a little kick of garlic and chilies. This is one of our top picks for homemade pasta in NYC.
Rubirosa
Not only does Rubirosa serve some of the best pizza in New York, but they also serve an incredible version of Carbonara pasta. The Tajarin alla Carbonara comes topped with speck, black pepper and a gooey egg yolk. The pasta is rich and subtle in flavor and made in-house. Doesn’t get much better than this.
Maialino
PC: @maialino_nycA casual and elegant dining experience, Danny Meyer’s Maialino has all of your Roman-Italian favorites. We love their classic version of the Spaghetti alla Carbonara made with black pepper, guanciale and egg. While you’re at it, go for their olive oil cake for dessert.
4 Charles Prime Rib
PC: @foreverfoodtournycA contemporary West Village steakhouse by Brendan Sodikoff of Au Cheval, this iconic spot serves one of our favorite pasta dishes of all time. At 4 Charles Prime Rib, they masterfully combine two iconic pasta dishes into one: Cacio Pepe and Carbonara. The cheesiness of the cacio pepe with the added pancetta and egg yolk of the carbonara come together to create a truly unforgettably delicious bowl of pasta.
Barbuto
PC: @barbutonycA chic, Italian eatery located in an airy garage space, Barbuto is the perfect destination for all your Italian favorites. The Bucatini alla Carbonara is fresh and creamy with a crunch of pancetta. Pro tip: the Carbonara isn’t always on the menu, but believe us that it’s worth asking for.
Barano
PC: @noleftoversAt Barano, you’ll find more than just delicious homemade Bucatini Carbonara. Pair yours with their wood-fired pizzas made in an open kitchen. This South Williamsburg seasonal hotspot is a go-to for all pasta aficionados alike.
Dell’anima
PC: @dellanimaDell’anima means “of the soul” and this Italian restaurant, brought to us by the same people behind L’Artusi, definitely know a thing or two about great Italian cooking. Their Tajarin alla Carbonara is topped with speck, egg, black pepper, scallions and pecorino romano. Get your camera ready – the gooey egg yolk makes for perfect yolk porn pic!
