This was a fun find. We were in town for business, and needed a cozy meal. I found this place on yelp, and I was so happy I did! It's located in an office building. But when you walk in, you're transported. The ambience is warm and inviting. The lighting is perfect. Dark wood, beautiful. They have a beautiful outdoor area with gorgeous lighting. The service was impeccable. Our server was also the bartender, and he was professional, efficient and thought of every detail. The food was phenomenal. Maybe the best Caesar salad I've ever had. This is a great place with friends, family or a nice date. read more

I'll Terrazzo Carmine is a beautiful restaurant with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The lunch menu offered great options and everything we ordered was cooked deliciously-from steak salad, chicken salad to Caesar salad and seafood pasta. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was that parking wasn't the easiest but overall it was a wonderful dining experience. Bon appetite! read more

5 stars all around! Parking is easy--there's a garage and valet service. The service itself is outstanding: attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable without being pushy (which is the perfect balance). We had dinner here last night (I've been before, but some in our group hadn't). We started with Caesar salads and cocktails, all of which were excellent. There were six of us and everyone ordered a different entrée--every single dish was outstanding. To finish, we shared three desserts and coffee, and everything was just as impressive. Dining out has become so expensive that we've really dialed it back, but a place like this is 100% worth every single dollar. Restaurants that truly hit every mark like this are rare. I would highly, highly recommend. read more

Great Italian anniversary dinner location - formal, beautiful tables, attentive service, incredibly flavorful dishes with beautifully balanced texture and color presentation. Sauteed mushrooms appetizer had so much flavor, over a rich reduction sauce. The scallopini veal with capers and lemon was delicately delicious and rich in flavor, paired nicely with the rainbow carrots and broccolini. The rigatoni was bold, robust, meaty and very satisfying. read more

Incredible experience all the way around. In my quest for the best Italian restaurants in Seattle I made a reservation here a couple of weeks ago. Parking was directly adjacent in a parking garage and they do validate for four hours. The restaurant was warm and inviting with an intimate atmosphere. White table cloths adorn each table, and the smell wafting through the restaurant from the kitchen was heavenly. We had the Fettuccine Al Pesto Con Gamber and Penne Salmon. Each dish was perfectly cooked. The salmon was moist with a hint of pink, and the pasta was perfect. The shrimp were not overcooked, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the pasta was incredible. We saved just enough room for dessert and split a crème brûlée. Perfectly done with a beautiful crust and adorned with mint and fruits. Our server, Mike, was fantastic. He appeared when we needed him and made some great suggestions. Great experience and definitely worth trying read more

From the moment we walked in and were greeted we fell in love with this place. I made a reservation a month ago. It's hard to get into. It's very expensive, so save your money and save this place for a special occasion, or try for a spontaneous table in the bar. I had the rigatoni... I thought it was going to be super heavy with the meat, but it was not. It was the perfect choice. It was a flavor bomb. The red sauce was done exceptionally well. The pasta was cooked perfectly. I loved the rigatoni noodle because the pasta could stick to it. They definitely know what they're doing here. This must've been some great grandmother's fabulous recipe that we were eating. SO SO GOOD! I wish I could cook pasta like this at home. I'm pretty good at pasta, but I'm not this good. My husband got the angel hair pasta with clams and mussels... And the angel hair was absolutely incredible... I'm wondering how they make this pasta so teeny tiny. It was also done perfectly. My angel hair would clump... These people are pros. Patricia, our waitress was fantastic. She put up with 1000 questions and helped us make our decisions and everything was perfection. Her Service was superb. She didn't come to the table too fast nor did she come too slow. She let us have our own conversations and didn't try to be a part of our party. I love that... It's old-school service. She had impeccable timing for absolutely everything. She suggested an Italian wine, because we didn't want something too expensive. The bottle of wine she suggested was $45. I thought it was outstanding. I could taste the old vines and we loved it. We sat outside... And she turned on the heater for us, which was really nice. She told us if we got too cold, she would give us a blanket... We didn't need one. She was delightful! They're lucky to have her. I love this place... It's my new favorite place in town, although they have been here forever. I wanted to try their restaurant in Bellevue, but I've been trying to make a reservation for the last five years and I can never get in. This place has ambience. I will come to this restaurant over and over again, until I can try everything on the menu. One tiny thing, I wish their salad had veggies on it ... I love Tutta Bella's mista salad - and thought this one would be like that, but there were no cannelloni beans, red onions, or carrots. It was still delicious... I love the light vinaigrette.. Overall, this is a five star restaurant for sure. Anybody who had a negative review about this place, needs to get a grip on life. It was absolutely outstanding. I also want to give kudos to the gentleman (with a golden smile) who bussed our table - he helped our waitress - he had a great smile and a very happy quality about himself. I liked that. I could tell the customers have been coming here for years... Everybody look like a regular! The place is a little bit hidden, but I think that adds charm. Thank you for a wonderful evening... We will be back! read more

We had a hard time finding the entrance, walked around a couple times before finally looking at some reviews to see if anyone left a clue how to in the place Once inside, it was very elegant, dark wood and white table cloths We were seated right away at a table with a nice view of the whole restaurant up on a little landing. As we normally do when trying a place for the first time we ordered a little across the menu. For drinks my wife got the Friendly Reminder while I just had a white wine. For our appetizer I had the prosciutto and melon and a Caesar salad while the wife had the burratta. Prosciutto and melon was traditional and very good. Came with honey dew instead of cantaloupe but was really fresh and really refreshing Caesar salad was also good, very crisp lettuce and a nice dressing Burratta was good, fresh and tasty For our meals I had the lobster pappardelle and my wife had the halibut. Always judge an Italian place by the meatballs and how they cook pasta and this place did the pasta correctly. I loved it and ate it all and wished I had more The halibut was a little overcooked, so it was dry in places. The fish was a huge portion so my wife ate a lot of it and left the drier parts For dessert I ordered key lime pie, odd to order it on an Italian restaurant but it's one of my favorites and I rarely pass up a chance to get it. Washed it all down with coffee. Enjoyed the meal and the experience read more

We were craving Italian food, and found this spot! I ordered the Rigatoni Bolognese, which was made of ground veal, pork, and beef with tomatoes, herbs, and red wine. It had a rich, savory, and hearty flavor! And another surprise was the dessert, the waiter brought out a full tray of desserts and introduced each one to us. We couldn't resist and ended up choosing the Tiramisu and the Crème Brûlée! Both were amazing and top-notch! *Recommended to make a reservation on OpenTable, and they provide 4-hour complimentary valet parking with validation. read more

We sat outside on a cool night and the fire pit made the space feel cozy and comfortable. The décor is beautiful, and I really loved the outdoor setup. Random detail, but I noticed how big the tables were compared to most restaurants, which made the experience feel more spacious and relaxed. We started with the La Caprese, which was so fresh. The basil tasted like it had just been cut, the tomatoes were sweet and perfectly in season, and the smoked buffalo mozzarella felt like the perfect marriage between burrata and mozzarella. As expected, most of the pastas were made with eggs, but the kitchen was able to sub some dishes with an egg-free linguine. I ordered the Spaghettini Ortolano with linguine, and it was fantastic. There's no sauce, just goat cheese melting into the pasta to create this creamy, flavorful dish that I would happily order again. For dessert, I went with the mango sorbet. It started off good, but after a few bites, the flavor leaned a little toward freezer burn, which was a bit disappointing. Service was great throughout, and while it wasn't too busy outside, it's clearly a popular spot. read more

Elegant Italian dining experience, with pleasant servers. The menu offers plenty of options without being overwhelming; the same can be said for the wine list. The prices may seem high, but portions are large. We considered the antipasti plate for a starter, but changed our mind after a glance at the vitrine. We split the salad of the day and there was still enough to take home. It was delicious - perfectly grilled salmon, marinated wheat berries, and lightly dressed greens. The bread was crunchy and warm, which is always a nice touch. The pasta dishes were delicious, and perfectly cooked. The ravioli had a delicate sauce which elevated the filling. The cannelloni were generously filled and the tomato sauce was savory and happily mopped up with a piece of bread. There are both indoor and patio dining options. A lovely venue for special occasions, or just a nice lunch to celebrate the day. read more

Il Terrazzo Carmine is a luxurious feast for the eyes! The ambiance is a beautiful mix of luxe, tradition, and modern touches. I came so excited for my birthday, and had a great time. The energy of the room was warm and sophisticated. Our waitress was bubbly and comforting. Tables were close nit like we were all family or worked together. I got the Papardelle All' Aragosta and my man got the Pennette Con Salmon. We both thought they lacked a bit of flavor, and my noodles felt a bit undercooked. If I tried again I would try different dishes. Though our food wasn't amazing, we still had a great time for my birthday in a beautiful restaurant that's apart of Seattles history! read more

I had a wonderful experience here! I have been to the Bellevue Carmine's quite a bit and fell in love with the ambiance there. I'm happy to report that Seattle's Carmine's is just as wistful and charming and they capture that same magic in the air. I've now tried both their patio and main dining room and loved both! If you have never been my two favorite must haves are the duck (comes with the best cherry sauce of my life) and the pesto and prawn pasta. I also think that Carmine's has the best Hugo Spritz and Espresso Martini in town, just my opinion. Can't wait to come back. The valet is free that sparks a lot of joy. Every person who works here treats their job like a career and I feel like family rather than a customer here. Thank you! read more

Great lunch here. Their oven fresh bread, creamy cauliflower soup and eggplant parmagiana were all great. The eggplant portion was quite big for a lunch entree, and had to pack the leftovers for later. Finished with a cappuccino which was above average. Paid parking on the street is hard to find, but its on a busy street. The restaurant is a bit hard to find as it's housed inside an office building, near a wine bar and another Italian bar. read more

Celebrating a friend's birthday! Enjoyed the ambiance, the service was great - our server was fun and interactive with our group, and the food was very tasty! I ordered soup of the day which was a creamy soup, and for the main dish, I ordered the peppercorn sauce steak which was delicious! I didn't care much for the sides, but the steak is a must try! I also want to mention that I parked in the garage across the alley from the restaurant (valet parking is validated by restaurant) and the valet attendant was extremely nice and polite! read more

To start, we've wanted to visit this place for awhile now but for some reason never pulled the trigger until this Valentine's Day. We were not disappointed. The food, service, and ambiance were simply superb. We were seated in the bar area which turned out to be great as it provided a more intimate experience for us. The main dining room was jumping as was our bar area but it still had an intimate feel as there were less diners. White table cloths were in abundance as that is not a touch you see in many eateries in the Seattle metro area these days. Our server, Diego (also the bartender) was pulling double duty serving food and drinks at the bar and surrounding tables. He pulled it off with a little help from his colleagues. We started the evening off with a couple glasses of wine (Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc) followed by the Bruschetta Trio ( Cherry Tomato, Capers,Garlic Confitura and Basil; Black Pepper, Goat Cheese, and Tapenade; and Avocado, Smoked Salmon, and Crème Fraichea), couple salads (Caesar and Campagnola), followed by the main entrees, Fettucine Al Pesto, and the fish of the day special, Seabass with Risotto and Green Pea Puree. All were excellently prepared. We ended the lovely evening with a slice of Red Velvet Cake and Tiramisu. We will definitely return as there were other items from the menu that I saw on other tables around us that I'd like to try. I apologize for not taking many photos but I was so into my date that I simply forgot to take shots of all the dishes. Next time! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Il Terrazzo Carmine to celebrate both my birthday and our 25th anniversary, and it was truly a night to remember. From the moment we arrived, the service was perfect. Our waiter, Logan, greeted us warmly and took the time to explain the menu options in detail, even suggesting a delicious salad to start. The food was absolutely amazing--beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor. Every dish showcased the kitchen's talent and attention to detail. Jason was attentive and incredibly helpful throughout the evening, ensuring everything went smoothly and that we felt celebrated. The highlight of the night was when Logan surprised us with a small tiramisu topped with a lighted candle, making our special occasion even more memorable. I highly recommend IlTerrazzo Carmine for anyone looking for exceptional Italian cuisine paired with outstanding service. read more

A much needed updated review from me on this venue. Since I first reviewed this place 10 years ago, I got to visit at a minimum 10 more times for various different reasons and occasions. My initial review on this place was not very positive. I think it was mostly due to the rude personnel that worked there at that time. My experience since has been much much better. The food here is very consistent. Whether you like the flavors or not is subjective but what is impressive is how consistent each dish is. I absolutely love their Costata Di Maiale Impanata (fried pork chop over spaghetti!) and Scaloppine Di Vitello (veal with capers and lemon!). I am also a big fan of their mushroom bisque - which is not on their regular menu but they seem to always offer this soup every time I visited. The prices are actually very reasonable compared to other similar restaurants. Please note though that I have never been here for dinner. read more

While visiting Seattle my wife and I had a wonderful dinner. Our waiter was also the bartender, so he was still able to take good care of everyone. The restaurant was very pretty and fairly busy for midweek dinner. Now for the food. We started with a shrimp appetizer in a marinara sauce. Very tasty. My wife had veal picatta and I had the duck breast. Both were very tasty and the duck was a huge portion. We were stuffed, but couldn't resist the cannoli for dessert. If we visit Seattle again, we would definitely return to this restaurant. read more

Me and my wife consider this one of the "old school" Seattle restaurants. When we are ready to go out on the town and don't want to risk having an expensive meal that doesn't meet the bar we find ourselves going straight to Il Terrazzo Carmine the menu options are great here. The service is amazing. The ambience and the location is really terrific and I believe parking is even included with access through the back door, which was a new learning for us recently. We ordered the obligatory app all spritzes as it was summer, and we had recently returned from a trip to Italy and we're on this binge of drinking Apperal spritz. The food came out hot and terrific. The bread, the salad everything was great and it lived up to our expectations. We are been Abeja wine fans and we're pleased to find out that they carry Abeja and we had a nice bottle. Will definitely be back although I'm not cheap. The restaurant is well worth the investment and the food and experience is one of the best we ever find in Seattle highly recommend you give it a try if you have not already. read more

It was my first time here, to celebrate my wife's birthday. I placed a reservation online and indicated that it was her birthday. There were quite a few birthdays around but it seems our celebration was the only one not prioritized. For the couples around us, the staff seemed to know that everyone else was celebrating and received a card but we were left a little disappointed in this aspect. Although not necessarily, it did make us feel excluded among the tables around us. First I will say, we sat outside and the ambiance is beautiful, perfect for a romantic date night and free validated parking right around the corner. For our service, our server didn't introduce himself to us, although he was nice and patient with us mispronouncing all the dishes. Now for the food! We had the bruschetta Trio, it was quite tasty, I wouldn't say it's anything to write home about, you can definitely buy all these ingredients from the store and put it together yourself for half the price. My wife and I would've given it a 6.5/10 (10 being the highest) And to the pasta, I had the fettuccine with pesto and shrimp, it was delicious. I would definitely get that again (8/10). My wife had the spaghetti ortolano, with goat cheese, tomatoes, spinach and pine nuts. It was extremely underwhelming for the price we paid for it. It was very much the same though as the bruschetta, that we could buy this and make it at home. It was lacking in flavor and the spinach was very bitter. (4/10) Overall a nice ambiance, could be a nice experience and delicious meal, maybe we got the wrong things, but I wouldn't rush back to try it again, nor would I highly recommend to my friends or family. But again, I did only try these few items so there might be other things that are a lot better that I haven't tried. read more

The ambiance is STELLAR! The service is 5 star. The food... FAN-TAST-IC!!! We ordered a Caesar salad to share and prawns to start. The wine was delish. I had a dish with pasta, asparagus and salmon (small order) - and we ended the meal with a port. The server was lovely: friendly and low key. The noise in the restaurant was A LOT but we were tucked into a corner and it wasn't as deafening as it could have been. Also, it felt like a low-key party, which was grand. The people-watching was phenomenal. Loved. It. All. read more

The good: I went in on a Friday night with no reservations as a party of one, and they found a table for me. The hosts were super nice. I wanted to try two small sizes of pasta so I ordered the Fettuccine Al Pesto Con Gamberi & Capellini Di Mare. The pesto dish was amazing, Rich and creamy, the Cepellini was a bit bland, and OK. Their dipping herb olive oil was amazing and I poured some of that over the pasta to give it some flavor. Service was also attentive and wonderful. I also ordered a grapefruit mocktail: Rhuby Lemon ($15), which was fresh & amazing. The not so good: The bill. Once I received it, I asked the server to see the menu again to compare the prices to the website menu and I was confused that the menu in-house was more expensive as I checked online before I came. The pastas were a difference of an increase of 3$ and 7$ dollars each. I showed this to the waiter and he apologized and agreed that online it was outdated. read more

OHHHHH YEAHHH! We've been wanting to try for the last few years, so we made it over to celebrate our 31st Anniversary. Love the valet at King Street, and the 'inside sneak' to the restaurant courtyard. Beautiful outside terrace dining with fire, but we opted for inside since it was our first time. We were greeted warmly despite our 45 minute delay during to 2 games, 2 crashes, and a 405 closure - but we did call twice and keep them updated. Brought to our table with a Happy Anniversary card waiting. Great Manhattan and Prosecco cocktail to start. Dinner was a wonderful grilled pear and goat cheese salad, a nice carmelized onion soup with tenderloin, Osso Bucco with the lightest buttered herb fettuccini I ever remember having, and a capellini de mare with clams and prawns. The capellini had a wonderful almost reduced-cioppino sauce that brought a lot of seafood flavor. Osso Bucco was incredible, and I actually pulled the marrow and tossed it with the fettuccini. Tiramisu and wonderful Americano with cream and sugar to wrap things up. Will go again. Will take friends. Despite some larger parties in the restaurant, noise was not an issue at all. read more

I made a reservation for a weekday evening, and it was really easy to make on Open Table. The restaurant is so classy, and there is an expectation of business casual attire. The server was really great, and I thought his jokes were hilarious. He also was clear in his communication with us so we knew what to expect for the dinner. I ordered the Gazzosa as my drink, and I loved it. It was light and fizzy, and I didn't want something alcoholic so it was perfect. For food, we got a Burrata as an appetizer. The dish came with some peaches and arugula; it was very delicious and refreshing. I also ordered the large Rigatoni Bolognese. The pasta was al dente, sauce flavorful, and meat tender. I love bolognese and was very happy with this dish. For dessert, I got a cheesecake and it was also very tasty. I actually forgot my leftover dessert when I left. When I went back to grab it, all the servers knew where to direct me to, so I appreciated that. read more

It is such a place that you would like to revisit again and again. Always quality food and warm atmosphere.

We picked this place from a few articles talking about Seattle's best restaurants, and decided to celebrate my husband's birthday here. The experience was AMAZING! The staff was friendly, professional and catered to my request for a quiet and corner table. The whole ambiance feels classy, warm and elegant. We got here at 5pm and by 5:30 the restaurant already started to fill up. We chose a few dishes from the Specials: Grilled Peach Salad (peach so juicy and walnuts roasted to perfection!), pappardelle with lobster sauce (very generous portion of lobster claw meat!), and saffron risotto with Manila clams (fatty clam and saffron juice coating every grain of rice!). The food portion is generous. We were able to clear all our plates even after eating two full baskets of bread lol. The staff even brought a tiramisu cake for us to celebrate the birthday, which is a really nice surprise. We still decided to order cannoli with pistachio as dessert. It is good but not as impressive as the free tiramisu lol. Overall we really enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend to anyone who loves Italian food in an upscale setting. read more

Loved the vibe of the place and the great service. They were very helpful in helping understand the menu and giving suggestions of what goes well. Limited options in vegetarian but can convert any pasta to without meat option. The burrata was flavorful! The Gnocchi and Pesto Fettuccine were delicious. Wide variety of speciality cocktails and wines to choose from. Tried the Spritz and it was refreshing! The highlight was the dessert menu. Got the entire dessert menu for the table including cheesecake, crème brûlée, tiramisu, chocolate cake and cannoli. hard to choose from this but tiramisu was a personal favourite. read more

This is one of my 3 go-to places for a nice meal in Seattle. I primarily come here for lunch where I usually order the NY steak with a side of the Spaghetti Aglio E Olio, which is the best! On this visit, we each ordered the Chilean Sea Bass with mushrooms and a side of the Aglio E Olio, so many good things on one plate. We sat at one of the tables in the bar area, which was intimate and quiet. Our server kept our drinks filled and was quite attentive. The service and the food never disappoint. As Wendi K says 'The crusty bread and butter is impeccable.' The bread comes from Grand Central Bakery and is specifically made for Il Terrazzo and is served warm. Of course, I had to try their new flourless chocolate cake that comes with a side of vanilla ice cream. It was a great way to finish off our meal! read more
