Ellie’s Little Italy — Restaurant in Seoul

Meal budget per person (without drinks) Category 1 (under 60000 KRW, 50 USD)

The restaurant is located near to Lake Seokchon, hidden gem but very beloved in this area. No reservation possible and there is a long waiting line to enjoy the this local cuisine.

Amuse bouche is provided and the Beef Tartare and Bread freshly from the oven are slimy and savory.

Scallops with 2 kinds of Puree (23K) Polpo with 2 kinds of Pesto (23K) These 2 are very delectable. Birra Moretti, an Italian Beer matches very well with the Antipasti.

Bottarga Pasta (32K): Spaghetti with fish stock. Amatriciana (24K): Rigatoni (fresh) is used. Pasta here is also tasty already. It would have been much better if higher quality pasta like De Cecco were used for better texture.

Margherita di bufala (22K): Pizza (and Bread) are made on the spot immediately after ordering, so the best condition of Pizza can be enjoyed which is different style, very tasty. It is also interesting to see the cooking process.

Please remember: Parking is not available. Reservation is not possible. Visit earlier and wait to be able to enjoy the Italian dishes from...

로제파스타(1번 메뉴)랑 샐러드가 진짜 대박이에여.. 무조건 다시 갈겁니다ㅠㅠ 예약이 미리 안되서 5시반 오픈시간에 갔더니 바로 들어갔어요 그런데 6시만 되도 웨이팅하더라구요!

The rose(?) pasta(menu's 1. pasta) was the best I've had recently! immensely enjoyed everything of it:) the flavor, sauce(not too sweet just the right amount of spice), fresh ingredients(loved the mushrooms and shrimps especially) and the salad.....was absolutely perfect! it was so fresh and the cheese was homemade, tomatoes, oranges and pecan all had a personal touch to it which I simply loved👻 the steak was obviously nice too but it was a bit ordinary compared to the other two menus(they were a happy surprise) must visit before six(dinner opens at 17:30) if you don't want to wait for too long:)(no...

The Good: Contemporary Italian dishes served with classic flavors The freshly made rigatoni pasta was an absolute delight. It was rich and creamy but not overwhelming and with deep nutty flavors elevated the dish. They can make it without pork if you ask them. The classic Napoletana margarita pizza was very authentic with its chewy and light crust topped with fresh buffalo mozzarella They served freshly made complimentary bread served with chili olive oil for dipping

The Not So Good: Wish if water bottles were served only when you sit at the table and not already there opened...
