Crispo Carbonara and the 3 P’s

View Gallery

Taking Boyfriend to Crispo was a bit like introducing him to an old friend that I love and hoping that he could see all of her virtues. it is no secret that Crispo is Sister’s and my favorite go-to Italian, and many of our friends rely on it as well, but in a city with so much good Italian, I got a little nervous in my convictions when bringing Boyfriend by. Boyfriend, however, had heard the legend of the 3 P’s, and was eager to try the famous Crispo Carbonara. I have not actually had this dish in quite some time, so I was also excited to taste its smoky rich goodness. For the unitiated: real carbonara has nothing to do with the creamy gooey glob that some restaurants serve; the richness of the dish comes from egg yolk, that is added at a precise moment to avoid it becoming noodle glue. I will defer to food porn instead of describing how flavorful and satisfying this dish is; a true example of carbonara done well. A picture is worth a thousand words but countless calories, that is why I gave you two today. Yay Crispo, we knew you had it in you…Also, see below for a link to the recipe, courtesy of Esquire.
