Whether you come to impress your significant other or are looking to have a memorable night with friends and family, Il Terrazzo won't disappoint.
It won't be argued by his loyal clientele that customer service and the overall dining experience is what has set Carmine's restaurant apart from others for many years. Truly, Il Terrazzo Carmine brings a stimulating experience with its classical ambiance.
Not to be left unmentioned, the Italian menu at Il Terrazo Carmine is one that will leave you with the desire to return for more classical Italian cuisine that can be paired wonderfully with a great selection of wines. Just make sure to save room for dessert!

In Short
The airy dining room in Pioneer Square exudes feelings of a traditional trattoria, with warm lighting and sophisticated table settings resting on heavy linen. A time-tested menu focuses on traditional Italian steak, veal, lamb and chicken. Waiters are the career variety, so expect top-notch service. Pastas, rigatoni and risottos are popular, along with the house Caesar, which comes brimming with quality anchovies.

I have always liked this place. I have been eating here for 20 years. Yes, it seems expensive-but what decent restaurant isn't nowadays? I have never had a bad meal here and the atmosphere is great. Ask the waiter to serve your table family style and they wil just serve your table the best things available in the kitchen that day.

This restaurant was recomanded to me, sadly enough, I do not understand what's all the fuss about. My appetizer was very oily and overall the flavor was lacking. For entree I got the halibut ($22!) and it did not taste like anything other than lemon and capers; the plate was poorly presented and the overcooked side vegetables were swimming on a bath of oil. The service was ok but nothing impressive. Like the rest of the menu, the wine list lacks variety and it is way overpriced.
