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

    Always delightful to dine with wonderful Italian cuisine and service in the classic space. We’ve been patrons since the 1980s and we keep returning.

    What an incredible place! From the moment we walked in the door their attentive staff ensured that we had the best experience. The recommendations from the waiter were amazing. The food was all cooked to perfection along with the perfect timing of dishes coming out. We were able to enjoy a 3 hour long multicourse meal of which my wine glass never reached empty due to their diligent staff. I would highly recommend this place for a nice relaxing night out.
