text: I have been to Porta Alba a few times for the pizza and been over the moon about it I love woodfired 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 newish friends and did not want the buzz kill But a really savvy waiter would have asked why I hardly ate anything and did not want to take the leftovers I will stick to the pizza from now on
