Charcoal-grilled Italian restaurant "CARBO" in Doyama. On this day, we went bar hopping from Higashi Street to Doyama. Ate and drank heartily at two places, feeling really full. Could have just gone home at that point, but as a food blogger, going to a third place is a must. Oh, I remembered! So, we headed to "CARBO" in Doyama, known for its Italian dishes cooked with charcoal. It's a place where you can enjoy authentic Roman-style charcoal-grilled dishes. I used to love this place, but haven't been able to visit due to the pandemic, so it was a long-awaited return. Despite arriving late, the place was almost full. Still a popular spot! I ordered a fresh fruit spritzer for a dessert-like sweet drink. Cheers with the recommended rum and pineapple kiwi tonic! The truffle carbonara was a standout dish, an adaptation of the famous carbonara from the birthplace in Rome. The rich sauce perfectly coated the thick pappardelle pasta!! And the generous amount of Parmigiano cheese and truffle added a punch!!! I intended to end my meal there, but ended up adding a beer... Next time, I need to go for a full meal. I'll definitely be back!

Recently, I told the staff at a izakaya I frequent that I've been really into carbonara, and they mentioned that a friend of theirs owns a restaurant that serves it. I hesitated to visit at first because the atmosphere seemed a bit sketchy, but the restaurant itself turned out to be very stylish and had a nice, calm ambiance. I dropped in on a whim, without a reservation, and it seemed like they were fully booked. However, they said they could squeeze me in for about an hour, so I decided to quickly enjoy a meal there. They had a variety of homemade drinks like sangria and kiwi gin and tonic, so I tried some of those. The menu only listed an appetizer platter for two people, but they said they could make a single portion, so I ordered that. The presentation was beautiful and the flavors were delicious, especially the chicken ham and omelette. The truffle-infused potato salad served on baguette with truffle oil drizzled on top was incredibly aromatic! Finally, the truffle carbonara that I came for. They had homemade pappardelle and rigatoni, and I chose the pappardelle this time. It was served on a unique and impressive plate specially ordered from a ceramic artist. It was Instagram-worthy for sure! The rich cheese sauce was topped with truffle and bacon, creating a delightful combination. The delicate pappardelle paired perfectly with the intense cheese sauce, truffle aroma, and wheaty flavor. It was delicious, but the cheese didn't have the distinctive taste of Parmigiano or Pecorino. When I asked, they said they used Parmesan cheese. Using a more common Parmesan instead of the typical Pecorino probably helps achieve such a rich flavor. They also used bacon instead of guanciale for the same reason. This would definitely be a hit with women! The restaurant was getting busier with reservations coming in, so I left a bit early. The staff was friendly and very pleasant. The popularity of this restaurant was evident with all the reservations. I look forward to returning and trying their charcoal-grilled steak and desserts at a more leisurely pace next time!

It was incredibly delicious. The pasta in particular was amazing. Even though I thought I was too full to eat more, once I ordered it, it was so delicious that I finished it in no time. The truffle pizza was also fantastic. It was a wonderful restaurant with great cheese and truffle dishes. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a restaurant that I had been curious about, even though it is a little far from Umeda. I ordered the all-you-can-drink + food set for 5,500 yen per person. The cheese, truffle, meat, and all the dishes were of high quality, and the food was excellent. The appetizers may have been the best! The main dishes were also delicious, and being able to drink alcohol made it even better!

The place was a bit hard to find, but had a cozy hidden gem vibe. The truffle whiskey I had on the rocks had a strong whiskey scent, but I couldn't really taste or smell the truffle despite there being a slice in it. Overall, it was a good experience considering the price, quantity, and quality in relation to the location.

The staff were polite and even offered to take photos for us. The restaurant is a bit small, but they seated us by the wall since we had a reservation. The appetizer platter can be chosen according to the number of people, and the famous truffle carbonara can be ordered in a large portion for sharing, which was very convenient. The carbonara was incredibly delicious and definitely a must-try. The only downside was that the group sitting two tables away was too loud, but that's not the fault of the restaurant. I will definitely go back again.

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. The course included all-you-can-drink, with individual appetizers and shared meat dishes and pasta. The portions were generous, and the pricing with all-you-can-drink was reasonable, making me satisfied. The restaurant had a cute atmosphere, but there was a mysterious decoration on the wall that caught my eye and left me wondering what it was for. The staff were friendly, providing extra plates and checking on us frequently, making it a lovely dining experience. They even brought us souvenir bread, which made me happy.

The delicious aroma of truffles and the savory scent of charcoal-grilled dishes made the alcohol go down smoothly. The fact that there is all-you-can-drink sparkling wine on tap is also great. The staff members were attentive and moved briskly, which I appreciated. I forgot to take a picture, but the truffle and white mold cheese bruschetta, focaccia, and dessert ice cream were delicious. The compact interior quickly filled up. I would like to make a reservation and come back again. Thank you for the meal! ☺️

The staff were very attentive and made me feel comfortable while dining. The air conditioning seemed to be malfunctioning, but they kept checking in to see if I was too hot and offered to move me to a different table. The dishes were all very generous in portion size and delicious. Personally, I loved the assorted appetizer plate the most, but unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of it!

The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, the dishes were cute, and all the food was delicious. However, we were seated at a table and felt that the spacing between tables was a bit tight. That was the only downside. Otherwise, the service was good. I would like to go back again.

I had been curious about this restaurant for a while. I visited for the first time and was impressed by the great atmosphere and delicious food. The smoked platter paired perfectly with the wine and I really enjoyed it. I would love to come back again. The popular pasta dish was also surprisingly delicious.

I had the course meal and the appetizers were delicious from the start! It was great to have all-you-can-drink option with two friends who enjoy drinking. The cost performance was good, so it's understandable that the dishes were meant to be shared by 2-3 people, but it would have been more impressive if we could have each had our own plate instead of sharing. However, the staff were quick and we were able to enjoy without inconvenience. They even gave us focaccia as a souvenir when we left. It was a good experience!

I heard from my junior that CARBO was delicious, so I decided to go. The operation was good, and the taste was good too. The restaurant had a casual Osteria-like atmosphere with reasonable prices. I feel bad for not paying much attention to the server, but the Rigatoni with orange-colored sauce and truffle caught my eye. I forgot to take a photo of it. This was the famous Truffle Carbonara, and it was delicious with the chunky bacon and focaccia. I will be more careful next time.

I didn't expect to find such a great restaurant in Higashidori. It had a youthful vibe, but it was a lovely place. The carbonara had a strong truffle aroma and was delicious. The pizza with pie crust was also tasty. I especially liked the confit of sandfish for its texture. The restaurant isn't very big, so it's perfect for a girls' night out or a date. Thank you for the meal.

It was a special day so I visited this restaurant. The food was delicious, but the course was quick and I couldn't help feeling rushed. Even when we were chatting after finishing our drinks, we were repeatedly encouraged to pay the bill. It was a bit disappointing, even though the food was good, and even my usually quiet companion said, "It leaves a bad taste in my mouth." If you want to take your time, I wouldn't recommend this place. The dishes were enjoyable with the scent of truffle, and the all-you-can-drink option was reasonable, so I thought it was a good deal. Thank you for the meal.

On Wednesday night, I visited with friends. The restaurant was very lively and had a stylish atmosphere. The staff's service was polite. We had a variety of dishes including assorted appetizers, mushroom ajillo, truffle carbonara, lychee pork steak, and pie pizza. Everything was delicious, especially the assorted appetizers and carbonara. The mushroom ajillo was also very tasty. I would like to come back next time to try the lamb and cheese. I definitely want to visit this restaurant again.

The restaurant was smaller than expected, so there might be a wait. The cheese was not overpowering, but had a creamy texture with a hint of truffle aroma. It was different from regular carbonara, which was nice. The pizza had a pie crust, providing a unique texture to enjoy.

It was a 5000 yen all-you-can-drink course. Each dish was carefully crafted, the plates were all cute, and the dessert was a generous portion of ice cream, making it a cost-effective course! The carbonara, especially, was delicious with truffle sauce, and dipping the freshly baked bread in it was amazing! I tried pizza with a pie crust for the first time, and it was very tasty! I would love to eat it again. The location may be a bit hard to find, but the interior of the restaurant was stylish and very nice! The alcohol was served quickly after ordering, and the timing of the dishes was perfect!

In a cool back alley-like atmosphere in Umeda, the interior and exterior do not disappoint. I visited at the end of the year (quite a busy time) and the food was delicious without any letdowns. Each dish was very tasty. The plates used were also from overseas, and I could feel the master's dedication. Good value for money, it exceeded expectations.

I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. By around 7pm, the restaurant was full and had a lively atmosphere where we could enjoy our meal while having conversations. All the courses were delicious, especially the famous truffle carbonara and focaccia were my favorites. The staff were very friendly, and we even received a souvenir when we left, making it a wonderful experience. I definitely want to visit again. Just one thing, sitting at the end of the counter, I could hear the staff's interactions (taking orders from other customers and processing payments), which was a bit distracting.

Located in a shady area and down a back alley, but don't let that deter you - this place comes highly recommended! The portion sizes, flavors, service from the staff, and overall value were all excellent. The pasta was outstanding, with delicious sauces. The bread was served piping hot, and I couldn't resist getting seconds! They even offered extra pasta sauce as a bonus. The double main course fish dish was also delicious, and the French toast dessert was a hit! The sparkling wine and white wine from the all-you-can-drink menu were also very tasty. To top it off, they even escorted us outside and gave us focaccia as a parting gift. All of this for just 5500 yen with drinks included! The only downsides were the limited space and the overpowering scent of truffle, but overall, this place is highly recommended!
