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 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.
