Few dishes capture the imagination—and the palate—like Spaghetti Carbonara prepared inside an authentic Pecorino Romano cheese wheel. At OyOy Restaurant we push Mediterranean tradition to its limits, transforming a beloved classic into an interactive show of flavour, aroma and creamy intensity.
What Makes Cheese Wheel Carbonara Unique?
The magic begins when the hollowed‑out wheel of aged Pecorino Romano is warmed tableside. Al dente spaghetti, rich egg yolk, crispy guanciale and a final grind of black pepper emulsify against the molten cheese, creating a velvet‑coated pasta that balances savoury depth with subtle nuttiness.
“Carbonara on a wheel is a tribute to cheese and pasta—a reinvented tradition that surprises in taste and spectacle.” – Owen, Head Chef of OyOy
Ingredients of Exceptional Quality
Pecorino Romano DOP: matured for 14–18 months for maximum flavour.
Guanciale crocante: sourced from trusted Italian artisans.
Free‑range egg yolk: for natural colour and silkiness.
Bronze‑die spaghetti: cooked strictly al dente.
Learn more about the heritage of Pecorino on the official Consorzio Pecorino Romano site.
Live Culinary Theatre on Spinola Bay
As the wheel smoulders, the aroma of toasted cheese mingles with gentle sea breezes from Spinola Bay. The presentation lasts mere minutes yet leaves a lasting impression—perfect for foodies, Instagram enthusiasts and anyone seeking an unforgettable memory in Malta.
