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

This is my second visit to the restaurant and it was awesome! Big thanks to the hostess who read our reservation notes and considered my request for a table with plenty of space. The Bloody Mary was fantastic; the biscuits are legendary. We will continue to come in whenever we are in Seattle.

Our favorite place over the years! We love how the restaurant is tucked into the main building and the secure parking garage below. The food is always perfect and the staff knows exactly what wine to pair. We love the bar since it’s cozy and the tables have a bench seat on one side. The bar is beautiful and perfectly lit. The dessert tray is the best - we love how they bring it over so you can see what each one is!
