About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Charming
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

    Attentive service, excellent food, talented staff, beautiful space. Could use more pasta entries on menu, but hey, I'm not complaining. The mushroom app and grilled romaine salad were splendid.

    Everything from the service to the salad to the duck was amazing. The restaurant itself is beautifully laid out and comfortable. Service impeccable! Best part was dessert! Must have the red velvet.

    Cora, our server, was extremely helpful and excellent. It was a lovely meal in a lovely setting. You'd do well to save room for dessert.
