Il Terrazzo Carmine
Elliot Bay provides Seattle residents and visitors with a wide variety of water sports from sailing to fishing. If you find yourself out on the water at night, make sure to take a look back toward shore and see the twinkling lights of Seattle at night, which make for an impressive view. After spending some time on the chilly waters, however, you may find yourself in need of a hot meal. Consider getting that warm meal at Il Terrazzo Carmine on First Avenue South. Carmine Smeraldo has owned and operated this restaurant for the last 26 years and strives to provide patrons with a one of a kind dining experience. The menu provides you with classic Italian cuisine and a long list of wine. If the weather permits, you can enjoy your meal in the outdoor courtyard. Remember to call ahead and make a reservation or you may not get a seat.

Union Restaurant
Seattle may seem like our typical big city, but there are always some green areas if you are willing to look. For example, if you travel on Seneca Street and head toward the pier, you will find a little spot called Freeway Park. The park stands out as a small tribute to nature surrounded by imposing skyscrapers. If you find yourself a little hungry while you are in the area, consider stopping by Union Restaurant for some Italian cuisine and seafood. Chef Ethan Stowell prepares dinner nightly in this relaxing but elegant downtown Seattle restaurant. The intriguing presentation of the food makes it almost a shame to eat. Make sure to look over the wine list while you wait for your meal. Remember to call ahead and make your seat reservation.

Excluding a visit to the Cal Anderson Park while you are in Seattle would be a real shame. The park provides visitors with sloping walking paths, a professionally designed reflection pond and baseball diamonds. After you have your fill of the park, you can head a few blocks down to Lark for a bite to eat. You can order Italian favorites like lasagna and pannocchie pasta. If you do not feel like eating Italian, there are also plenty of seafood dishes for your enjoyment.
