A Hero Returns: The Christmas Carbonara is Back, and We Need to Talk About Sprouts.
The nights might still be long, but here at Bella Italia, the festive magic is already beginning to stir. Last year, you asked for a Christmas twist on a timeless classic, and we delivered. The result? An instant legend was born. A dish so popular, so talked-about, that our chefs didn’t stop cooking sprouts night after night. Now, get ready to celebrate, because the icon is returning to our festive menu: the Bella Italia Christmas Carbonara is back!
This isn't just a dish - it's a creamy, comforting hug in a bowl, supercharged with the full force of festive cheer. We take our rich, classic carbonara and elevate it into a seasonal masterpiece. Imagine… bitesize pigs in blankets and fragrant, crispy sage tumbled through perfectly cooked pasta, all coated in our signature creamy sauce. It’s the ultimate winter warmer, a flavour combination so perfect it became an instant fan favourite.
But this year, we’re settling the great debate once and for all.
Are You Team Sprouts In or Team Sprouts Out?
Last Christmas, one topic dominated the tables: the button sprouts. We added them for a pop of colour and a dash of authentic festive tradition. Some of you called it genius, others called it madness! It’s the question that divides friends and families every December, and we saw the passionate debate unfold right here in our restaurants.
So, this year, the choice is yours. Are you a purist who believes it’s not truly Christmas without a sprout? Or do you prefer your carbonara feast without the little green guests? Whether you’re proudly #TeamSproutsIn or firmly #TeamSproutsOut, we’ll make it your way. Just let us know when you order, and we’ll cook up your perfect festive pasta.
