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

    Beautiful space, great service, and the food is always excellent. The drinks are interesting and the bartender can make anything out of nothing. It's one of our fav restaurants!

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

    I went here for my fiancés birthday, we were pretty disappointed with the food for how much you pay. I got the Capellini Di Mare, it was cold the plate was warm. They left the tails on my shrimp it was lacking flavor and bland. Would not recommend.
