I received a coupon in the mail for a free appetizer, which got me really excited to try this place. When I walked or drove by it, I always loved the atmosphere and seeing people enjoying themselves outside during the summer. For my meal, I started with Italian Prosecco and grilled octopus as my appetizer. Then I had a veal entrée with gnocchi Mac n cheese, and for dessert, I enjoyed amaretto coffee with a delicious almond cake. Everything was freshly prepared, and the staff and service were incredible. While the veal wasn't my favorite, I think it's more about personal preference for that type of dish rather than the way the restaurant prepared it. Despite that, I definitely plan on going again because I had such a great experience.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is wheelchair accessible

I had the best salad there I have ever eaten in my life for dinner. We went back the next day for lunch. I wish I could give the food a 6! Service and atmosphere were also excellent and they threw in a free dessert for my daugher because it was her birthday. Excellent experience. There were two managers on staff and they were busy overseeing greeting customers at the door and regularly communicating with the kitchen staff. It is clear this establishment is obsessed with creating an excellent experience for their guests.

Beautiful place and environment! A group of friends and my family had dinner, we were taking to our reserved table right away! It has been the fastest service I’ve ever experienced and the food was AMAZING! Tyler was amazing! Extremely helpful and professional!!!! Best ever!!! I’ll recommend this to our family and friends always!

Loved the atmosphere and the appetizers and octopus. But the veal Parmesan was nothing special and my friend got nauseous from a crab dish. She noticed that the crab was a bit off too late. They dropped the charge from the bill, which is good.

The best Italian food in Annapolis. Never had a bad meal. Go to restaurant.
Quick service I will tell you, which can be nice at lunch time, but because of how busy they wanted you in and out. Food was just ok. I would go back if others wanted to go there.

Excellent first time dining at Carpaccio! We highly recommend the Vitello Porcini, and will be dreaming about the truffle-infused gnocchi mac & cheese. The dinner helped lead to a first place in age group placing in the Annapolis Half Marathon.

My husband and I dined here for our anniversary last night. Our reservation was at 7 pm, but we weren’t sat until nearly 8 pm. The host was wholly unapologetic while explaining their kitchen was backed up when we checked in at 7:30 (hungry!) for a status update. After we were sat, our waiter was pleasant enough but again the wait times for our food were long, and the time he spent with us felt rushed. The food was absolutely delicious- no complaints there. As we were leaving, the host asked us if the wait was worth it, and I replied that while we had really enjoyed the food, we were not very happy with the service we experienced. He shrugged and said “restaurant week” with a smile and again, no apology whatsoever. I truly feel his attitude was unacceptable and we will not be back which is a shame because we really enjoyed the food. My husband and I are understanding people and feel an apology was warranted at the very least- we had planned ahead and made a reservation for a special celebratory evening and didn’t appreciate the “oh well” attitude from the host. If restaurant week is too overwhelming for your restaurant, please just opt out vs taking reservations you cannot honor.
Very very busy as it was end of restaurant week. Seems like they took too many res for how many tables they had as we had to wait. Then it took 15 mins to get an iced tea as they ran out of glasses. Don't even think about a refill. They had to brew more tea. Had to ask for bread four times and never got it. (they have great bread!) Overall disappointed. They should have just fessed up that they were in the weeds and we would have been more understanding. Tell me you ran out of bread versus telling me four times you will go “grab us some”. Honesty is the best policy and would have made this a better experience. Everyone has a bad night.

Food was delicious, service was fabulous and loved the live singing. With so many options in the area now, we haven't been in so long but now will put it in the rotation!

Love coming here - the food is always terrific - and they had lots of choices when it came to the menu for restaurant week! Just a smidgeon loud as they did have a singer up front - but he was really good so it was a plus!

Got the Lattuga con barbabietola salad to go. This was $14… upsetting how little “mixed greens” - more like iceberg. Along with the very few beets.

We had a reservation set for 6 PM. I made the reservation, probably a month in advance. We were sat around six. Despite us being right at the front of the restaurant, and having been walked past by the servers and the host more times than I could count, no one ever came to the table. At 6:37 we decided to get up and leave and go elsewhere. This was extremely disappointing as I love this restaurant, and I had booked it as my mother was visiting. She loves Italian food, and we were excited to watch the Frank Sinatra tribute. Additionally when we told the host that we were waiting so long, he did not seem to care. He just said "sorry".
