“Camilo Hannam†is an Italian restaurant run by Chef Kim Nak-young, who runs Italian restaurants “Camillo Lasaneria†and “Cento Percento†in Hapjeong-dong. It presents Italian home-cooked meals based on the concept of “Lucca†and “Rivonello†in remote towns in central Italy. The signature menu is “camillo-style ragu lasagna,†which is baked in an oven by applying besamel sauce and ragu sauce between thin slices of dough. Ragu sauce made from beef, pork, and lamb simmered over a long period of time is infused with the heavy flavor of the meat, adding an even richer flavor. If you cut lasagna into bite-size pieces and eat it in one bite, the rich flavor of the ragu sauce blends harmoniously with the chewy texture of the lasagna noodles.

“Sesta†was newly opened in Hannam-dong by Chef Kim Se-gyeong of 'Hugh 135', famous for its dry-aging steaks. Fresh seasonal ingredients and a variety of meats are grilled and served using charcoal only. The signature menu, “Dry-Aged Tomahawk Steak,†is a tomahawk with three parts of beef sirloin, shrimp, and rib meat, coated with yeast powder and dry-aged for 3 to 4 weeks, then grilled on a grill and served to customers. It is served with pepperonata grilled over charcoal with paprika, chives, and cucumber and pepper. When you put grilled vegetables on meat with moist juice flowing out, the aroma of charcoal spreads softly throughout your mouth. You can enjoy different flavors and textures in each part, from sirloin, which has a rich juiciness, to shrimp meat that boasts tender meat, and rib meat that stands out for its savory flavor.

“Monthly Restaurant†is a place run by Chef Ahn Kyung-seok, who has experience in 3 Michelin star restaurants in Italy, and is known as a hideout for singer Yoon Jong-shin. You can find Italian cuisine based on Japanese cooking techniques and a diverse list of alcoholic beverages. Dark green walls, wood-tone walls and furniture, and warm lighting combine to create a classic atmosphere. The signature menu is “beef rib style charcoal-grilled lamb ribs,†where lamb ribs cooked in sous vide are grilled over charcoal one more time and served with french fries and red pepper fritters. Lamb ribs are marinated in a special rib sauce to minimize the unique smell of sheep, so even people who have trouble getting close to lamb can feel free to try it. Charcoal-flavored lamb ribs are full of gravy and have a characteristic texture that melts in your mouth the moment you put them in your mouth.

â–²Review (Shikigami Lee Eung-don PD): A place I only want to know! The signature dish, beef rib style charcoal-grilled lamb ribs, is cut into pieces that are easy to eat after taking pictures. I can't believe the lamb is so soft! It was nice that they didn't have any special flavors unique to sheep, and they also had the scent of charcoal fire. It goes best with deep-fried peppers.

â–²Testimonial (I really live alone): There are bar seats and table seats, but I think I almost always have to reserve a table. The atmosphere was also nice because of the soft lighting. Octopus made as an appetizer is a magic that makes large octopus legs come out of the mouth as soon as you eat them! Usually, octopus is too tough to eat, but it melts in my mouth!
