Indulgences: they got the Catholic church in trouble in the late Middle ages, and they've been getting waistbands in trouble throughout the ages. And this meal? It's an indulgence for the ages, with rich gnocchi, carbonara sauce, bacon, and steak. And there's garlic bread. Is it almost too… indulgent? We don't think there's such a thing.
