- KKathyVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •45 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoIl Terrazzo Carmine never disappoints! I've been dining there since 1990 and it's been great every time. No need to say more.More infoIl Terrazzo CarminePrice: Expensive• Italian• Pioneer Square•4.9
- RRexWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews5.0Dined on 27 Dec 2024Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.More infoThe Pink DoorPrice: Very Expensive• Italian• Belltown / Pike Place Market•4.8

- MMicheleVIPSeattle / Eastern Washington •27 reviews5.0Dined on 20 Dec 2024Everyone from the host to all the servers were all very friendly & accommodating. Food was good, our party of 4 had smash burger, grilled cheese, pulled pork sandwich & the turkey club. Got us in & out within an hour just in time for the Christmas show at the stadium. Great location for events at the stadium with 2 hours parking complimentary. Only issue was that it was a little bright inside, wish the lights had been dimmed.More infoJimmy's on FirstPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•3.8
