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

    We were seated in the bar for lunch because the restaurant was full. The bar was perfect. Cozy not noisy. Sweet competent waitress. Food was truly a treat. I had the special (Chilean Seabass) it was perfect. Glad I didn’t ask the price before ordering ($64) because I may have given it a pass. Definitely will be on our recommendation list.

    Delicious food and nice ambiance. Tasty sautéed calamari starter, pesto fettuccine with shrimp for entree; key lime dessert. Scrumptious. It’s pricey though.
