Il Terrazzo Carmine is the best Italian that I have had in Seattle. The pastas are great (excellent carbonara), the appetizers are tasty (take a peek at the appetizer bar as you enter), the entrees are delicious (my favorite is the veal scaloppine-- tender, excellent flavor and light sauce), and the service is good (I'm talking career waiters here -- they dole out the appetizers so that nothing goes to waste). The prices are expensive but worth it for the quality of food that you get ($15 for a full plate pasta, $25 for an entree). The crowd is a bit older. This is definitely a great place to take the parents or relatives when they are in town.
