Bellissimo! A Taste of Italy at Santa Rita Restaurant in Valencia

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Santa Rita, an Italian gem nestled in the heart of Valencia, Spain, and I cannot help but sing praises for this culinary haven.

The carbonara was a very strange orange color, possibly from very orange egg yolks, but it reminded me of melted Velveeta or Cheese Whiz. It was a gooey mess and I ate only half of it. It reminded me of no carbonara I had ever had in Italy or elsewhere. All four of us didn’t feel great later that evening. The cacio didn’t have much flavor even when we added more pepper at the table. The tiramisu for dessert was almost all custard and only 1/4 of it had ladyfingers - not a great rendition. Service was friendly but nothing out of the ordinary. And they added a €1.60 per person coperto to the bill, which could have been hidden somewhere in the extensive menu, but this was the first time we have seen this appear on a...
