I was reminded of a horrible version of Pasta Carbonara  my wife had in
a local Italian restaurant. That is a dish that is so simple I can't see
any reason to mess with it, but they did.  I was stunned when the server
brought it. It was a plate of what looked like plain cooked spaghetti
and sprinkled on top was some cooked bacon, chopped up hard boiled egg,
parsley and a little Parmesan.

You really have the worst Italian restaurants.

Apparently. Now who can understand why I have such low expectations for
Italian restaurants.

If I wanted carbonara, I'd go to one of these places:

They look interesting. The mediterranean place sounds like one on Port
Colborne.  It has a great seafood pasta but it's pretty pricey for a
small place in the boonies and a very limited menu. They only have IIRC
four appetizers, six entrees, a half dozen types of wine and two brands
of beer.

I'm not a big fan of Italian pasta. Da rest of da family loves the
stuff. We had Italian in Montana but I'd rather have a bowl of spicy
pork ramen.
