A brunch plate: fresh linguini and pancetta in a garlic cream sauce under a torched egg yolk. Praised as rich and generous, but repeatedly called too salty and not a true carbonara.

Penne with pancetta, peas and cracked black pepper in a Parmesan cream sauce. A dependable, light plate to its regulars; others find it bland or far from a real carbonara.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
