There is no bacon in carbonara (the real italian one), that's "guanciale", which is another part of the pig (the cheek) and tastes different from bacon, which is made with the belly of the pig.

That's false. Carbonara was invented by the americans in Italy during WW2. It's a very new dish, not a traditional one. Before 70 years ago it didn't exist. The first time it was made with bacon, as Americans were using it.

The so-called sauces are compotes, jams, honeys actually and pair well with cheeses; when they bring you the cutting board, you should be eat, if you like, together (the sweet/salty contrast goes well). Usually in good places, when they bring you the cold cuts and cheese board, tell you with which cheeses is best to starting (from less intenses to the strongest) and also, as already I wrote, which "sauce" to pair them (not everything goes with everything). I hope you understand despite my English. 🍺

It doesn't taste sweeter, but a lot of it does not taste as fresh as it does in other countries. Everything in Italy just tasted more fresh. That is probably our biggest take away, but a lot of the time we do miss our "home" food, since it is what we grew up eating and it has the comfort aspect to it.

It's nice that you tried it but it doesn't seem like you went to a good quality restaurant. From what I saw it's little more than a bar. The caprese seemed to be made with tomatoes and mozzarella from the supermarket, the platter of cured meats, which are fantastic in Tuscany, was anonymous and of poor quality (you eat good mortadella in Emilia Romagna). The bitters served in those glasses and in those quantities are very strange. The panna cotta with all that chocolate isn't exactly high quality. That balsamic vinegar is not a traditional one from Modena that is consumed sparingly due to its intensity and cost but a mediocre supermarket vinegar. The cheese is grated on the pasta and is not already grated to ensure a cheese with the right level of moisture and the right flavor. You foreign tourists, who have my gratitude, must understand that in Italy there are restaurants for tourists, where we rarely go, and restaurants for Italians, furthermore among these there are mediocre, good and excellent restaurants. You should look for these places and eat only there ignoring the others. You have to go where we will take our friends and family, if in a restaurant you only see tourists, foreigners or Italians, the quality is probably not good. Were you in Tuscany and didn't eat anything typically Tuscan? You have made a serious mistake. In Rome you eat Carbonara, a cacio e pepe, Jewish artichokes, lamb; in Milan risotto and ossobuco, in Genoa pesto and focaccia, in Naples pizza and Neapolitan ragù, in Florence a Fiorentina, in Siena pici, in Pisa and Livorno caciucco, in Sardinia, in Catania, in Palermo, in Bari, in Cosenza..... You don't go to Pisa for a Gricia and a Caprese salad, a pasta with pesto alla Genovese and a grilled chicken breast. If you do this you will be able to discover true Italian cuisine, the one we like, the quality one with fresh products. The true typical Italian cuisine is km0 with fresh local products. I don't want to denigrate that restaurant but Tuscany is not famous for tomatoes and if those were the best tomatoes you have ever eaten I am very sorry because up to now you have only eaten very poor quality tomatoes.

You ought to know that there is not an "Italian" cuisine but a italian "regional" cuisine. So you cannot hope to get in Pisa a fair carbonara: that you have to eat in Roma. In Pisa you ask for the local sauces (probably venison based). And what you eat in the carbonara is not bacon but guanciale.
