What People Are Saying About Carpaccio

Featured Review

Contributor

The Food – Dinner for two may cost more than a pair of Manolo Blahniks, but this ritzy Northern Italian hotshot in Miami's very highest net worth shopping mall serves some of the city's best handmade pastas, pizzas and, of course, carpaccio in a dozen variations. Desserts, especially the tiramisu, Italian cheesecakes and wild raspberry tarts, are alone worth a visit. – – The Scene – Don't be put off by the snob factor, you'll be treated well whether you arrive in jeans or the latest Fendi fashions. In fact, many of the couture set actually deign to wait in line…

Editor's Tips

Eight to Eat:
With reservations, that is. Only parties of eight or more can reserve a table, so be prepared to wait.
All That's Carpaccio ...:
Isn't necessarily beef. Try salmon or tuna carpaccio with a varied assortment of garnishes.

Rude and greedy waiter

by Missjoe at Citysearch

The whole experience was spoiled by the treatment I received. it was my 3rd and last time at that place. Never again, I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. I don't need the waiter coming back with the tip, saying it wasn't enough. Now they won't be getting anything as they've just lost few customers.

  • Pros: Nice area
  • Cons: Customer service

good food, good location

by Annaska at Citysearch

this is a good restaurant to go to if you want good food in a nice atmosphere. Just be ready to deal with some of the rich and snooty clients. But the service is pretty good, and the menu should satisfy any appetite.

rude waiter

by benchaim at Citysearch

We had dinner on Sunday February 3, waiter was Milton D, we had to ladies from Italy as our guest. The total was $ 138.80 and I added a tip of $ 18.70 on my credit card charge. The waiter came back telling me the following: Sir, the tip is not added here, you are supposed to put at least $ 21 in this case or has something not been OK? I added some cash.I go to this place very often as I live near by and many times with guest too, since nearly ten years. I never had such a rude behaviour of a waiter in any restaurant ever!

They will never see me again and I will not -as I used to- send anybody there.

just another Italian chain

by cg1234 at Citysearch

The only reason Carpaccio is still in business is because it is located in Bal Harbor shops.

The food is nothing special and it is just like another cheesecake factory chain but in Italian. It does not taste like good home cooked Italian food with great chefs.

It is so commercial and their tuna steaks are definitely the ones that are freezer packed from Costco. I mean its good, but there are definitely better Italian restaurants out there. It?s the "Scene" that every one likes.

  • Pros: average food
  • Cons: a big social scene

TOO CROUDED

by jroyzis at Citysearch

OK, I know its a very popular place but come on! People are seated on top of each other, it feels like you are sharing a table with 20 other people around you. Once seated you absolutely have to stay put since you have to ask all the people around you to get up with you in order to get in and out of your table. The food is expensive and very average definitely not worth the price!!! Waiters are nice, they try to make the best out of this crowded situation. People are very snobby, lots of plastic and bling (and not in a tasteful way, just all out there). Overall experience was horrible, I would never go back there again!!!

  • Pros: staff
  • Cons: crowd, people, food
