Pasta Hill
파스타힐
About
A cozy, dimly lit Italian spot near Ilsan’s Bamni-dan-gil, known for shrimp-toumba pasta and a much-praised roasted baby cabbage salad.
At Pasta Hill, the pleasures are specific: a little char and crunch from grilled baby cabbage, a creamy, gently spicy sauce clinging to pasta, and a dining room quiet enough to make lingering over both feel natural. This Italian restaurant in Goyang has the scale of a neighborhood hideaway, with just a handful of indoor tables and one outdoor seat. Bloggers describe a subdued, modern interior, an open kitchen and soft lighting; on a fine day, the terrace offers a seat in the calm of the surrounding residential streets. Start with the grilled baby-cabbage salad. It appears repeatedly among diners’ favorites, and for good reason: the cabbage is described as crisp beneath its cooked surface, a fresh, savory counterpoint to richer pasta and meat. The pork-neck steak is paired with that cabbage and served with whole-grain mustard and wasabi, giving each bite a choice of sharp, clean accents. For pasta, the shrimp Toowoomba is a strong pick. Its cream base carries a gentle heat, while generous shrimp give the dish substance without making the sauce feel cloying. Another much-praised option is white ragu: a creamy sauce with savory meat, rich but not described as heavy. The menu has also included clam vongole and potato gnocchi with bacon cream, though one visit notes that the gnocchi may no longer be available. A meal often begins with bread, pickles and olive oil with balsamic cream—small, welcome details before the plates arrive. The restaurant’s compact size and reports of solo service suggest a better fit for a relaxed meal with a few companions than for a large gathering. Instead of treating Pasta Hill as a place to order pasta and leave, build the meal around the cabbage salad, then choose a sauce that suits your appetite. It is that balance of comforting, creamy mains and bright, crisp accompaniments that gives this small Goyang restaurant its own character.
