  “Had one of the nicest italian meals I have ever had in chester in 40 years. I never knew this restaurant existed with being up on the rows. I have been to other Italian restaurants in Chester howeve in quality they do not compare to Carbonara. We sat outside and it was lovely on the rows. There is an plant based restaurant next door however as two vegetarians tge amount of food available for us on the menu was amazing. They even do a vegetarian Carbonara. Will be back very soon”

  “A Restaurant like no other, stepping into the building I was greeted with friendly staff and an immersive Italian environment. Very fitting in the heart of Chester and all their Roman history. And we can't forget the food, it was genuinely immaculate, I've never tasted any other food this captivating. It's a real gem and a must visit if you have some cash to splash on premium dishes.”

  “I came here with my partner and close friend for some lunch - I genuinely couldn’t recommend this place enough! The atmosphere is amazing, as it’s seated perfectly on the Chester Rows - an experience in itself - with a wonderful view and beautiful ambient music. The service is fantastic, Alesandro is a gem; very funny and attentive, and the food is just incredible. Anyone looking for true, authentic Italian pasta is in for a treat! 10/10 all across the board.”

  “Perfect spot to relax for Italian food after checking out the Roman ruins across Chester. Lunch menu was a fantastic deal, I had the caprese to start which was crisp and flavorful, an absolute pleasure. Of course I had to get the titular carbonara pasta as a main, and it was stunningly authentic. Very much on par with carbonara I've had in Rome and Milan, maybe a bit less salty but that was very welcome. My father got the Amatriciana which was full of vibrant tomato flavor. Drinks were great as well - I had a very strong but balanced Hugo Spritz and a glass of fine Roman white wine from the extensive wine list. Desserts looked great but of course carbonara is very filling so I couldn't manage. I'd call this a hidden gem as it was a little hard to find, head up to the 2nd level of the rows not far from St. John's Church and the Roman Amphitheatre. Atmosphere was nice, red carpeting and dimly lit like ancient times. The service was very attentive (although there weren'tany people here on a Wednesday afternoon). The Roman owner ensured our meal was satisfactory and let us know that the carbonara was authentically prepared without cream. Highly recommend for a filling meal in this beautiful town of antiquity!”

  “What a beautiful find. We absolutely loved our lunch at Carbonara. We all ate, two adults and two children, from a classic Italian menu which still had plenty of choice. The staff are incredibly attentive and took the time to show my history obsessed 5 year old all of the incredible history of the building and Roman items to see. For the quality of food the price is very reasonable, and there was a good choice of wine and beer, as well as soft drinks for the children. The atmosphere is wonderful too. We will definitely visit again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for something a bit special in Chester.”

  “I can’t thank the team at carbonara Chester enough.Everything from making the reservation ,to the food and service was flawless. Being as we were a large table of 15 sitting upstairs I was concerned that the service would be different to what were used to but the service was fast as usual each course was brought promptly but with enough time in between. The staff gave exceptional service, half of our guest were Italian speaking and half were English and the staff were able to explain meals in both English and Italian which is a great asset to carbonara as it made communication seamless for everyone. Every guest left with full stomachs and smiles thanks to the staff at carbonara Chester , the food was delicious as always and there wasn’t a plate left with food remaining. Some of our table were returning guests and ventured out by trying the specials for that day and not one person was disappointed! Great value food, would recommend this restaurant to anyone!!”

  “I recently dined at Carbonara, a charming little Italian restaurant in Chester, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the warm, inviting atmosphere made me feel right at home. The decor is cozy and authentic, perfect for a romantic dinner or a relaxed meal with friends. But the real star of the show was the food—absolutely amazing! Every dish was bursting with fresh, authentic flavors, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend their namesake Carbonara—it was rich, creamy, and just like you’d find in Italy, veg and Gluten free available! A special shout-out to Julius, who provided excellent hospitality. He was professional, attentive, and genuinely kind, making sure our dining experience was flawless. His passion for great service and delicious food really shines through. If you’re in Chester and craving real Italian cuisine, Carbonara is a must-visit. Thank you, Julius and the team, for a wonderful evening—I’ll definitely be back soon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
