This is hands down my absolute favorite Italian restaurant in all of Seattle. I have come here probably around 5-6 times and every single time it’s just amazing. To start with the servers here are just amazing- they are so kind, patient and just overall wonderful people to talk to. They are constantly taking care of you and in such a respectful manner. The food here is another thing. It is absolutely amazing, I normally get the same dish at every Italian restaurant but I have tried a couple dishes here and they are just as good as the favorite dish of mine I always order. As someone whose favorite dessert is tiramisu I think they have the best one in Seattle, I always get it whenever I come here. This is my absolute favorite spot for any event, any family dinner, anniversary, or birthday I always try and come here.

5 stars all around! Parking is easy—there’s a garage and valet service. The restaurant 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.

I’ve been here a few times (4?) And its always been a great experience. Sometimes the seating can get a little tight, but it is what it is. The valet parking comes in handy if you cant find something on the street. I’ve always gone with a group and I think we’ve tried most of the menu by now, and a bunch of their specials. The drink menu is fun.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere. Folks that work here are so nice. I had the best beef carpaccio anywhere here. It was fresh as fresh can be. I’d go back just for the carpaccio. I had the bolognese that was lovely as well. The service was impeccable. This is a stellar italian restaurant that focuses on high quality ingredients. Keep it up.

Fantastic experience! Il Terrazzo Carmine serves classic Italian dishes with great consistency and warm, attentive service. The pastas and seafood are outstanding, and the atmosphere feels elegant yet welcoming. Perfect spot for a special night out in Seattle.

We loved our dinner at Carmine’s. Mike took great care of us. The sea bass and the prosciutto with melon was our favorite. What a way to celebrate my birthday. If you looking for delicious Italian food in a beautiful romantic setting in Pioneer Square this is your top choice.

The atmosphere is wonderful and so is the service. The food is very underwhelming. The complimentary bread they provide at the beginning of the meal was very dry and hard both times my group visited the restaurant. The menu had a lot of seafood and meat options and I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are vegetarian/vegan.

I didn’t hate this place, but I didn’t love it. I was in town on a work trip from NYC and my colleague was in from LA. We got reservations the same day on a Thursday, but it was at 5:30 PM. Once we arrived we asked if we could change the reservation to sit outside since there were only 2-3 occupied tables. They accommodated us and just said the next table would be in at 7…so we were mindful of our time.

We didn’t get drinks, but we did order the eggplant Parmesan to share, and I ordered a risotto which I asked them if they could make vegetarian. They were super accommodating and they made one with asparagus, peas, spinach, mushrooms. My colleague ordered the lamb.

Food arrived in a timely fashion and looked delicious. The eggplant parmesean was nice and rich. The mozzarella was excellent. Flavor was on point. For my risotto, I found the flavor was underwhelming. I really appreciated the vegetarian risotto though. My colleague said the sauce on the lamb was intense and too much and threw off the balance of the dish. He said a light glaze would have been better.

Then there was a long pause between taking our plates and asking if we wanted desserts. I feel bad for our server because the entire outside got packed and he was doing his best. We wanted to really be out by 7 and by the time he came around, it was close to 7. We got our check and left.

The ambiance is nice both inside and outside.

I don’t know if it’s because I lived with someone from northern Italy for 5 years that also owned an Italian restaurant, and made an amazing risotto, but I found the flavor overall bland.

I don’t think I personally would return because the menu only had a few options for vegetarians. The other dishes did look exquisite though!

Great place to celebrate a birthday or any big milestone! Such a great atmosphere and absolutely wonderful food. We gorged ourself on bread first and then ordered plenty of appetizers to get a great sampling. I cannot recommend the insalata mista or French onion soup enough (the broth was so insanely good and there are nice chunks of beef inside!).

I ordered the bolognese and honestly, probably wished I had ordered something a bit more exciting like the cannelloni or duck; which my friends ordered and WOW were they good.

The dessert menu is always the best – the tiramisu and red velvet cake are to die for. If you like denser cakes, then this is a great place for dessert. They come out with a tray so you can see all the desserts which is so lovely.

The atmosphere and service make you feel incredibly fancy and special. Love coming here and it will not be my last time.

Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had! Everything was super fresh and delicious, with the perfect mix of authentic Italian and Italian-American comfort.
The restaurant itself was super cute, we may have been a little underdressed, but it still felt totally fine. (Next time I’d probably dress up just a bit more!)
We had the pasta fagioli, grilled peach salad (the special) and the spaghetti. It was all amazing. Usually I feel like spaghetti with pesto is too pestoy for me but it was probably the best I had.
All the food was fresh and clean ingredients.
Patricia and Gerardo were amazing—so friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!
