Italian food in Seville: a traveller’s guide
If you are going to eat Italian in Seville, the question is not where but what to order. This guide goes dish by dish: what each one is, how it is done well and how you can tell when it is not.
How to spot a good antipasto
Real carbonara has no cream
Long fermentation shows in the rim
Tiramisu must taste of coffee
Starting: antipasti and starters
The antipasto is the test. A carpaccio should be thinly sliced and cold; a burrata, at room temperature so it oozes; a bruschetta, with the bread toasted just right and the tomato properly dressed. If the starters are cared for, the kitchen is cared for.
The middle: pasta and pizza
With pasta, the bite and the sauce matter most; a real carbonara has no cream, so if it is suspiciously creamy, be wary. With pizza, an airy rim and a firm base signal a long fermentation: ours runs 48 hours and is baked in a wood oven.
The end: dolci
Tiramisu is the most faked dessert: if it tastes of cream rather than coffee, it is not tiramisu. Panna cotta should wobble without being liquid, and cannoli are filled to order, not hours earlier.

Does carbonara in Spain contain cream?
The real one does not — egg, guanciale, pecorino and pepper. With cream it is a different dish.

How can I tell if the pizza had a long fermentation?
Look at the rim: airy, with bubbles, and a firm base that does not flop. Ours ferments for 48 hours.
