korean food / seoul / A taste of Florence between calm and passion, a new Italian restaurant in Dosan Park – 1563

There are three main types of Italian restaurants:
“Osteria,” “Trattoria,” and “Ristorante.” “Osteria ” refers to a “tavern,” a place that sells local food or simple snacks along with local wine. It's the same place as an inn that provides a bed
with food, and it's a simple restaurant like a snack bar from the Joseon Dynasty in Korea.
Similar to the current “trattoria,” it is a restaurant where you can enjoy local food made with local specialties in a common and relaxed atmosphere. “Trattoria” is a small-scale restaurant that focuses on local specialty foods without formality, and is a casual and comfortable restaurant run mainly by a family
. It should be more formal than Osteria, but
less so than Ristorante. “Ristorante” is a restaurant where you can enjoy a variety of dishes, from table settings to overall
service, and everything from à la carte menus to course meals. It's a fine dining restaurant with expensive ingredients as well as a fine wine list.
