A traditional carbonara doesn't have cream, but I haven't heard the thing that in Italy it's frowned on to add cream. It depends very much on the pasta used. If you have smaller pasta, you need cream other wise the sauce won't hold to the pasta. With tagliatelle you wouldn't get it but with spaghetti you probably would.

I had a smoked salmon tagliatelle. It was so dry and tasteless.

My favourite ever pasta dish has no sauce, olio agilo e pecorino. It's blooming lush!

Make sure you complain. I gather they are aware they have a problem. I got my whole meal free
