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

    Beautiful place to celebrate a milestone birthday. We had veal scallopini and king salmon pasta. Both delicious. Expertly cooked. Service by Cora and her supporting team was so helpful and not intrusive. The outside patio—beautiful.

    Very nice upscale restaurant experience, which is a rarity around Pioneer Square. Sit on the terrace if you get the chance.

    The ambience as always is so perfect and the service so spectacular… Our food just wasn’t up to the standards that we expected from previous dining at II Terrazzo Carmine…

    Melon prosciutto appetizer high quality. We were able to order small plates of pasta. Gnocchi is very light and wonderful (not chewy). Red velvet cake is not too sweet.
