Carbonara Festival at La Costa

Overview

It's happening again. Another one of those dates dedicated to a specific dish is upon us, this time National Carbonara Day on Thursday, April 6. As usual, no one needs an excuse to enjoy this pasta option. If you prefer your spaghetti or fettuccine with eggs, hard cheese, cured pork and black pepper, go forth and devour whenever you like. Still, when there's a whole Carbonara Festival on offer, that's worth marking the occasion.

Fortitude Valley's La Costa is your new home for all things carbonara from Tuesday, April 4–Sunday, April 9. And it isn't just sticking with the classic spaghetti carbonara option, although that's definitely on the menu — including as a set dish with a carbonara entree and a glass of wine for $29.

Fancy trying carbonara arancini, bruschetta and loaded fries? That's what a carbonara fest is all about. Pick one to go with your spaghetti and you'll be in carbonara heaven. You'll also say the word "carbonara" so much that it'll begin to mean either everything or nothing.

The set menu can also get paired with bottomless wine or beer for an extra $20, and you'll have 90 minutes to get sipping.

Prefer to at your way through a one-kilogram pan of spaghetti carbonara for $35? That's also on the cards.
