Il Terrazzo Carmine - Amazing Seattle Italian

Ok, it's embarrassing that it's taken me this long to fully appreciate Il Terrazzo, but last night I had the opportunity thanks to Yahoo.



We opened with Carpaccio di Manzo and Caprese (Mozzarella di Bufala of course). Have to admit that both were good, but I'll still give Tavalota edge on best Caprese/di Bufala in Seattle and Wolf wins the Carpaccio contest.


For our second course... shots called (ABTS...Cwood rocks!)

Shot of petron with cinnamon covered orange slices

Caesar for the third course... I was skeptical, but this was amazing. I know, it's just a Caesar, but really, it's not just a Caesar.


Fourth course were some really good pastas: Fettuccine Al Pesto Con Gamberi Tossed with pesto and Gulf prawns, (amazing pesto) Ravioli Di Capriolo filled with venison, spinach and mushroom veal sauce (really unique dish that is worth going back for).

Dessert was a split decision (Moscato was a solid call though) with the chocolate torte and the cheescake with cherries receiving solid praise.

Overall - amazing place for any occasion.
