    I recently dined at Il Terrazzo Carmine in Seattle to celebrate a birthday, and it was an exceptional experience. We secured a 5 PM reservation, and the restaurant offers complimentary valet parking inside a nearby garage, which, once validated, is free during dinner service. Though tucked between two large buildings and not visible from the main streets, a quick loop revealed the valet sign. Upon arrival, the friendly staff welcomed us warmly, offering coat check, and the cozy ambiance, complete with chandeliers and an upscale setting, felt perfect for the occasion. Compared to their Bellevue location, the Seattle spot was quieter and more convenient with ideal parking. We began with a few drinks and an assorted antipasti plate, complemented by their delicious freshly baked bread and butter. For the main course, we mistakenly ordered larger pasta portions, but the leftovers were a welcome bonus. The evening ended on a sweet note with a complimentary tiramisu, adding to the thoughtful and memorable experience. I would highly recommend Il Terrazzo Carmine for a date night or celebratory dinner and look forward to returning.
