Il Terrazzo Carmine, owned and operated by Carmine Smeraldo for over 26 years, 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 Street 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. 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.

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. Carmine's attention to detail has never wavered over all these years. From the table linen to the overall ambience of the restaurant it is nothing but the best all the way. You have been to other eateries but nothing compares to an afternoon or evening at Il Terrazzo Carmine. When the weather is great please enjoy our outside seating. There is valet parking in the Merrill Place garage on King street which is complimentary after 5 pm.
