    bread, butter, beautiful interior!
    Courtney Y.

    While I'm not much of a pasta person, I was impressed. The Pappardelle all' Aragosta was so good - therapy in a glass, all you need is 1 and it was divine. Honestly this visit wasn't planned, but even without a reservation, was seated. I enjoyed the interior, it was fun to look at everything. Our server was lovely, attentive, and happy to give some recommendations. I'm happy I got to try this place, I will definitely recommend to others, and I'm sure I'll be back!

    A truly memorable meal with my foodie friend. The parmigiano melanzano eggplant was superb and she picked at it all through dinner. It was a huge portion. Drinks were good, delicious. The menu is impressive with many top-of-shelf choices in pasta and Italian entrees. I had the spaghetti tini ortolano, which was delicious and more than enough for me to take home. She had her usual ravioli stuffed with delicious bits of meat. Salad was a wonderful choice. There's always fresh bread on the table. The atmosphere, while bustling, is still quiet enough to have an intimate conversation. Good wine selection and they come around with a dessert tray because no paper menu could do it justice. We split a creme brulee and took home the majority of it because we were so full. Definitely a treat night to go out. I highly recommend if you want to take someone for an impressive meal and feel like you've been treated well.

    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.

    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!

    Fettuccine Al Pesto Con Gamber

    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

    I love their menus and beautiful plates

    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!

    Prosciutto with melon. Was really good, used to be being with cantaloupe but this was good
    Randy D.

    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

    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.

    Mango Sorbet

    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.

    Cannelloni Napoletani
    Rima Z.

    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.

    The red velvet cake!

    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!

    Ask the Community - Il Terrazzo Carmine

    Is there a parking garage?

    Yes, there is a parking garage. You can have the ticket validated by the restaurant to get free parking. However, do it right before you leave. I think there is a small window of 10 minutes given to get to your car and exit.

    Is the patio covered in case of rain?

    Yes

    Is there a kids menu?

    No child’s menu

    Does one really need to dress up to eat here? We're going to be attending a Mariners game and would like a good meal beforehand but plan on dressing casual. Thanks.

    You don't have to, I showed up after a soggy Mariners game. Most people were a bit more dressed up than me though.

    Absolutely incredible experience at Spinasse. One of the rare occasions where I truly have no…read morecritique to give! I'll start off by saying that I RARELY give out a 5 star review. To me, a full 5 stars, means the restaurant goes above and beyond. Food, Ambience, and Service all have to be on point, and Spinasse has it all. You walk in and it's warm and welcoming. It's a fantastic mix of classic Italian decor mixed with a modern casual restaurant with large viewing windows of the kitchen. You're then met by extremely friendly and helpful staff. They've got answers to your questions, they're great at conversation, but not too in your business. Fantastic service. As I said, I have no critique to give, so I'll just try and describe what I tasted. We started with the ANTIPASTO MISTO DELLA CASA which is essentially small portions of all of their antipasta. This can rotate seasonally. Every single dish in this was amazing. We think the Capricciosa salad was our favorite out of the bunch, but everything was fantastic. We then ordered two half orders of Pasta, the TAJARIN CON BURRO E SALVIA and the TAJARIN AL RAGU. The TAJARIN CON BURRO E SALVIA is essentially pasta in an emulsified butter and sage sauce. I'm not gonna lie, I had low expectations for such a simple dish, but WOW. Sage can be VERY overpowering, but not in this dish. You taste the sage, but as a compliment not as an overpowering flavor. The ragu was also fantastic. The Tajrain by the way - perfectly al dente. It's such a thin pasta that it could easily be overcooked, but they nailed it. Then the Pan-roasted king salmon with sauteed chanterelles, crimini brodo and thyme oil... omg... Perfect pairing. Crispy skin, tender king salmon, and those mushrooms... one of my favorite dishes I've had ever. Not too salty, mushrooms were perfectly - al dente? not too chewy, but not too mushy. Perfect. Dessert was also seasonal - a sort of cake with cream, wafers, chocolate and hazelnuts on top. Phenomenal. If you're visiting SEA, or live here, please do yourself a favor and add this to your list!

    The pasta is ok nothing to write home about…read more But holy moly the service is so pretentious and rude. Feels like a humiliation ritual and the vibe is so awkward. Not sure why everyone working there is so miserable. I also feel like the menu hasn't changed in 5-7 years and it feels tired and outdated. Never again for me!!

Not only to experience the food, but the DREAMY outdoor space I had seen all over social media. Service was excellent from start to finish. We managed to get an outdoor seat (yay!) and the vibes were immaculate from the start. It definitely gives off more romantic/date night vibes, but it was also fun to experience with some ladies from my team. Perfect for a girl's night! Obsessed with the string lights, the fountain, and the overall atmosphere. You somehow don't even realize you're in the middle of Seattle when you're here. The menu has so many options which made it so hard to choose, but I ended up going with the Fettucini ai Fungh - fresh fettuccini pasta with wild mushrooms served in a light cream sauce topped with truffle oil, and I also added chicken. When I say this is probably my FAVORITE pasta I've had in Seattle, I'm not kidding... I almost cleared my plate which is hard for me as my eyes are always bigger than my stomach, but I made it happen! The cream sauce was rich but not too heavy, and the truffle oil was prominent without being crazy overpowering. 10/10 absolutely no notes. Hands down would have trouble ordering something else when I visit again. Without a doubt, I will be returning in the future for a date night!
