I've been to Porta Alba a few times for the pizza and been over the moon about it! I love wood-fired pizzas and they offer some of my favorite toppings and let me make my own combination. So I was REALLY disappointed when I ordered pasta carbonara (which I had been craving for days) and it was like glue. Little flavor, the sauce tasted like flour and water paste. And after getting really good service in the past, our waiter on this visit was really blase. Normally I would have sent food this bad back, but I was with a group of new-ish friends and didn't want the buzz kill. But a really savvy waiter would have asked why I hardly ate anything and didn't want to take the leftovers. I'll stick to the pizza from now on.
