About
Italian restaurant in Yongsan. Pasta and wine in a cozy setting.
A second-floor Italian spot on the Yongri-dan strip, wedged between ice-cream parlors and all-night bars. Look for the green-white-red flag snapping in the breeze — the stairwell's just inside. Tables fill fast after 6PM, mostly couples nursing Birra Moretti and leaning into the low amber light. Arched windows frame the street below; each table gets a single stem of live flowers. The room's done up in dark wood, vintage mirrors, candle sconces — the kind of stage-set romance that earns the wait-list on Saturday nights. The house move is the Iberico Oil Spaghetti: strips of grilled black pork skewered vertically over a tangle of garlic-slicked noodles, flecked with chili and scallion. The meat stays moist even as you work through the plate; the pasta holds its bite longer than you'd expect. Equally popular is the Basil Cream Gnocchi, potato dumplings crisped at the edges, blanketed in a fragrant green sauce that tastes more herbal than heavy. Every meal opens with complimentary focaccia — crisp crust, airy crumb — plus a nutty, sesame-forward soup you season yourself with cracked pepper. Dessert coffee or gelato comes gratis at the end. Reserve through Naver Booking if you're coming on the weekend; walk-ins often face 30-minute waits despite the newness of the place. Weekday lunch sees a break from 3 to 5PM. Parking's tight — use the public lot near Samgakji Station (Exit 3, three-minute walk) or risk circling. Card only.
