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.

I had an amazing time at this restaurant! Our server, Thomas, and his trainee, Anna, were absolutely wonderful and made our experience unforgettable. I was there with my best friend celebrating her graduation, and they truly went above and beyond to make it special. Even though Anna is new, you would never know it, she had great recommendations when we asked questions, and she carried herself with so much confidence, like she’s been working there for a while. Thomas was fantastic as well, so welcoming and attentive. Together they made our night so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back, amazing service and a great atmosphere!
