Welcome to Carpaccio American DreamMany years ago, in the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, by the Mediterranean Sea, lived a young lady named Rosalia. Her cooking delighted all who were fortunate to dine at her table and enjoy her food. Rosalia married Nunzio Billante and throughout the years, she passed down the mouthwatering secrets of her cuisine to their children. Her son, Tom, learned those secrets from a young age. He knew that a simple blend of fine, fresh ingredients with careful preparation and a little love was the key to a memorable experience!Determined to share these wonderful flavors, Tom founded the original Carpaccio in the luxurious Bal Harbour Shops over 25 years ago, serving elegant, traditional, and exquisite Italian food. The success of this endeavor was based on an uncompromising commitment to quality and to careful attention to the smallest details. Now this iconic establishment has come to the American Dream.

This is the best Italian food in the NY/NJ. This is not Italian-American. This is real Italian food. If you’ve been to Naples than this place will feel very familiar

The ambiance was really nice. It is a family friendly restaurant. We had 4 appetizers, 2 pies and drinks. We ordered t he Plain Jane and Margherita pies. The Margherita was absolutely delicious. The Plain Jane which was a cheese pizza for the kids was not good. It had no flavor. You barely taste the cheese and dough flavor was bland. I would still go back just order the Plain Jane.
