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

    We had a most wonderful evening at Carmine's. Ryan took special care of us. He made sure it was an evening for us to remember, while providing exceptional service! Thank you Ryan! The rack of lamb, veal chop, sweet breads, carpaccio, all exceptional. Chef Juan, having been there, many years, is still putting out beautiful plates and most delicious food! It was lovely to spend the evening, in a place I've known so well, seeing that it remains one of the best restaurants in Seattle!

    Nirmal’s offered a great overall experience. The aesthetic is modern and warm. The waiters were very attentive. We ordered a Kolkata 75 which was delicious. We started with the lamb seekh kabob and tandoori chicken. Both were deliciously, so well flavored, and tender. We ordered some to go! We also ordered roti, crispy garlic naan. Paneer Makhan and chicken patiala and Rogan Josh. Everything was amazing. Will definitely visit again.

    We ate here for dinner and got fish and chips. Chips were just slightly salted but great. My husband got the Reuben which was amazing with the old bay Jojos super good. Server also made me an amazing off menu mocktail. We ended the night so full with sticky toffee pudding which was amazing as well. Service was great. Breakfast was great as well definitely try their biscuits and gravy and their h&h breakfast. I would come back again.
