"This has angered the carbonara purists who did not study history and think that our beautiful recipe has always remained identical to itself. Unfortunately this is not the case and there have been hundreds of versions of carbonara."

[Daniele Belli, Resident]

"These people should be locked up, locked up. (Journalist: Why?) Because it seems crazy to me, it seems to distort what is traditional and so let him eat it."

Cesari got the recipe from an Italian cookery magazine published almost 70 years ago

But the owner of a century-old restaurant says the origin of the dish is unclear

[Roberto Martelli, Owner, La Carbonara]

"As for the debate on who invented it (the carbonara), I don't think there is an inventor, I think it is a tradition and as such it is evolved. In 1954 there was certainly someone who, before the 'Cucina Italiana' cookbook - I can't remember the name - was already making it, including us. I am the fourth generation restaurant owner so I can testify to that."
