Carpaccio is raw meat or fish sliced paper-thin and dressed cold — invented at Harry’s Bar in Venice in 1950 and named for painter Vittore Carpaccio’s reds.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between carpaccio and tartare?
The knife: carpaccio is sliced into wide, paper-thin sheets; tartare is chopped into small dice. Both are raw and cold, but carpaccio is dressed on the plate while tartare is mixed and mounded.
Where does the name carpaccio come from?
From Venice, 1950: Giuseppe Cipriani of Harry’s Bar created the dish for a countess advised to eat raw meat, and named it after Vittore Carpaccio, whose paintings shared its vivid red.
Is carpaccio a starter or a main?
Almost always a starter — light, cold, and appetite-opening. SeEat shows each carpaccio with photo and portion, so you can tell the delicate appetizer from a main-sized plate.
