Carpaccio was reportedly discovered in 1950 by Giuseppe Cipriani from the Harry’s Bar in Venice and is called after an Italian Renaissance painter with a liking for using red and white. With this information in tow, it’s no surprise that this recipe is found in the antipasti section of both the dinner and lunch menus at one-MICHELIN-starred Carbone. As per to inspectors, “Mid-century classics are what this menu is all about.”

This preparation features a truffle emulsion, mushrooms, arugula, toasted walnuts, shallots, chives, and olive oil. “It’s a very classic preparation,” accords chef Mario Carbone of his revelation. “Piemontese beef is very lean and is regularly served raw or very rare. All the other tastes are classic Piemontese ingredients—the truffle, walnuts, and mushrooms are all ingredients you will find growing and used in Piedmont.”
