Il Terrazzo Carmine, owned and operated by Carmine Smeraldo, is one of Seattle's true dining anomalies - a highly successful restaurant with unfailingly high standards and a loyal, sophisticated clientele. The cuisine has been acclaimed as Seattle's best by the media and more importantly, by local diners. Il Terrazzo Carmine is located in historic Pioneer Square - nestled in an urban-renewed alley with entrances through the vintage lobby on First Avenue or through the delightful courtyard in the back. Since 1984, Carmine Smeraldo's classic Italian restaurant has been where the locals have chosen to return over and over again. From the Carpaccio Di Bue and Spaghettini Dell 'Ortolano for lunch to the Suprema Di Pollo Farcita and Zuppa Di Pesce for dinner you will know you have gone to a place where excellence is a way of life. Arguably the best Italian restaurant in Seattle, Il Terrazzo serves classical Italian cuisine with an atmosphere you may want to call home and never leave

Second time here, my wife’s first. Omakase all the way! All the waitstaff good communicators and attentive to small things like wiping down the table unobtrusively. Able to converse (hear) but not quiet: a good balance. One of my top ten world restaurants!

We were here for the 2nd year in a row to celebrate 2 birthdays in the family. Everything was wonderful again. We really enjoyed the views, wonderful service and excellent food. We also appreciate that it isn't loud. The person that chose this restaurant is under 30 and I think they even appreciate being able to carry on a comfortable conversation and not have to yell to be heard. Worth the drive to come here (from the Eastside) and enjoy a fabulous evening and a beautiful restaurant with family.

This is always my number one choice on where to meet someone for lunch or dinner. The food is always outstanding but so is the service. The underground parking is an added nice touch on rainy Seattle days. I cannot say enough about this establishment. I consider it an extension of my home for entertaining. Ten out of ten.
