Celebrated my birthday here with few friends. Our host Tim was fantastic. Appetizers and drinks were great. Main courses could be better. Lovely vibe!
Good food but not amazing and a little pricey for what it is. Nice ambiance good service. Good place to go but not the best value for money

We had the pleasure of dining here after the baseball game. We sat outside on the patio which is so charming. They had lots of heaters to make it comfortable. Even gave us blankets. Our server was lovely. She was newer to the restaurant, and was so fantastic at making our experience top notch. We will definitely be back!!

I come here often and am never disappointed. Last night was entertaining when we were all evacuated from the restaurant due to a fire alarm. We were ushered back in very quickly, and you would never have known there was an issue. This restaurant runs like clockwork, no matter what goes on!!!
Open air outdoor dining during Spring and Summer...!
Great food and service...!!!
They don't seem to mind if you are wearing a Tux, or a T-shirt and jeans with holes in them. No apparent dress code, in other words.
(The cost per person came to around $250 at a recent birthday party with a limited menu, including wine and cocktails).
*That price is far above what I am willing to pay, but it was delicious and I would return there, (After I win the lottery)...

“Fantastic dinner at Il Terrazzo Carmine — the food was perfect and the service couldn't have been better. The staff was so attentive, and it really feels like a true Seattle institution.”
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.

Food was great! We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us a large table in the bar area. Great ambiance! Lots of hustle and bustle. Very busy. We loved it! Excellent birthday! Thanks il Terazzo!
This is a consistently excellent dining experience. Every dish is carefully prepared and tastes as good as it looks. Superb servers as well. Best Italian/regional in Seattle
Il Terrazzo Carmine is a perfect place to enjoy a relaxed incredible meal in a beautiful atmosphere with excellent service. It never disappoints, and the white napery, the wine list, the knowledge of the wait staff, and their attention to every detail makes it such a treat to spend an evening there with an old friend or to celebrate a special occasion. Ive been going there for over 30 years and it never disappoints.

On Tuesday evening I had the pleasure of dining here. My date and I had phenomenal service, delicious food and drink, and the ambiance of this restaurant is hard to beat. Our server, Ryan, was attentive and kind, and truly impressed me. Antonio was helpful, made sure we were never without water, and was so swift, it also impressed me.
I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.
Thanks for the wonderful evening! ☺️

This is a beautiful restaurant, the service is excellent, the staff is polite, courteous, and prompt, however, the pasta is incredibly disappointing. I ordered claims and linguine, fortunately the order came back incorrectly with a mixed seafood pasta. Although the mix seafood was excellent, the pasta was simply crap. It was soft and absolutely not what I specifically requested aldente. A server promptly corrected the disorder and provided the right pasta, owever, it again was crap. I understand, but an American Italian restaurants you always get the same pasta that you get in Italy. But it's very frustrating when you ask for a firm by pasta, which is the gold standard in Italian restaurant and you get mush. It is disappointing. I would highly recommend this restaurant for anything except pasta,everything else is excellent, avoid the pasta.
We had a fantastic evening at Il Terrazzo, once we found it tucked inside the building! Our server Mike was very attentive and compensated us with a free appetizer and dessert for taking a bit too long to come to us upon arrival. He was manning the bar and working very hard so he felt the need to give us extra attention once he was able to take care of us. It was very appreciated and unexpected. We had a lovely table in a corner where we were able to chat. The food was delicious! From the warm sourdough bread to the special appetizers and the pastas we all ordered and shared. We liked the option of ordering either a small or large pasta so that we could try a variety of dishes. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Mike, our server, gifted us a tiramisu which was soft, fluffy and delicious. All in all we had an amazing evening and would recommend Il Terrazzo to everyone!
I am disturbed by this establishment. Early evening on 08/07/2025, I slipped and fell on my derrière upon entering the restaurant as the floor was so slick. They restaurant staff did not seem particularly concerned as I could get back up and walk.
After dinner and one glass of wine, I stepped off my bar stool and again my foot slipped out from under me and I fell on my derrière!! I am a 75 year old female and they did not seem too concerned. So I wrote to them asking if they had addressed this safety risk. I did not hear back. Unfortunately, the falls aggravated my hip issue and I had to have additional hydro injection treatments.to address the pain. Please let me know if you have addressed this safety issue!
