“Pasta†is a collective term for noodle-shaped food made using wheat flour. In some cases, grains other than flour are used, and not only spaghetti-like noodle shapes, but everything from large lasagna to tagliatelle with a shape similar to kale noodles belongs to pasta. It is also important to choose different pasta noodles depending on the texture, width, and length of the noodles when stir-fried in such a variety of pastas.
Pasta, which is no longer just a one-off meal on a special day, has become even closer to us, and our expectations for taste have increased just as much. If you want to enjoy pasta that cannot be distinguished simply from cream pasta and tomato sauce pasta in a more different and elegant way, check out this post. You can find everything from unique combinations you've never experienced, to pasta with authentic Italian flavors.
This is a place that presents Italian pasta in Hanok, the most Korean space. The view of the hanok seen through the glass window and the natural light add to the quiet atmosphere. It's also a good idea to sit at a bar (bar) where you can watch yourself cook when visiting for one or two.
The signature dish is “truffle cream gnocchi,†which is made by finely grating an oven-baked potato, kneading it with cheese, freezing it, and baking it to a crisp. Fresh cream, fontal cheese, grana padano cheese, and truffle pesto are mixed with vegetables, and the texture of the gnocchi, which is soft enough to be felt in mashed potatoes, is exquisite. “Sea urchin, fish and egg pasta†is also a popular menu. If you grate the fish and sea urchin well and eat it while feeling the balance between the saltiness of the fish and the oil, and the rich texture of the sea urchin cheese, the flavor is excellent. The point of adding a savory flavor is the sea urchin that blends with the noodles like butter.
You can order the crispy deep-fried risotto and meatballs with rich, heavy tomato sauce, one at a time, so they are great to enjoy as an appetizer. It is said that they operate by appointment, so it's a good idea to check it out when you visit.

Agnolotti, which I wanted to eat, was missing from the menu, and what was a bit disappointing was that the price range was a bit high. 4 people paid a full price, so it was almost 200,000 won. Also, since I didn't order the dessert to go to another place to eat, I was puzzled because I was skilfully inducing orders, but I felt a bit pressured. Still, the overall service was good, and I was personally more satisfied than Suwaniye.
