Tremezzo $21 comes with chicken. Not a Carbonara
A coworker swears by their pizza as one of the best locally (although he usually prefers quantity over my kind of quality), so I’ll be interested to hear what you say. I rarely, if ever, do takeout, as I have freezers full of food and love to cook for myself. But if I get a good HO reco, it would be an easy call-in order and pickup on the way home if needed.
When we went some time ago to Luna Rossa their Carbonara had some cream in it (we can, if necessary, tolerate peas, mushrooms etc. in Carbonara but cream doesn’t belong in there and should be reported to the Carbonara police for a crime) - same with the one at Semolina.
The two Carbonara we enjoyed most where at Real

Ugh. Yeah, I see this a lot in this area and the US. Carbonara is such a simple, wonderful and straightforward dish. I don’t see why places feel the need to embellish, or worse, serve something more like alfredo.
I’ll be interest to see this list, as I’ve yet to have a good carbonara in Boston.
