About this restaurant

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

    Took advantage of them being open on Mothers Day. Outdoor seating was reasonably comfortable. A variety of options were tried across the menu and all were very good. No one was disappointed. Service was excellent. Our server had 3-4 tables outside and we were never lacking.

    Lovely dining on the patio today! It was warm on a chilly day with the heaters and they covered the patio as it started to rain and the service was impeccable. We always have a great experience and the setting is lovely!!

    Accommodated table 20 minutes late to reservation as Maps couldn’t locate valet garage. Beautiful restaurant and ambiance. Very nice, obliging, patient server as our 1st time there. Will say my Sparkler drink wasn’t enjoyable. Food is superb!! Fyi: Restaurant is not well advertised from the street and located in the back of the building. Look for the name plaque on the buildings pillar from the street.
