Uridongne Jageun Itaeri

우리동네 작은 이태리 Wood-fired pizza and pasta down a lane in Pyeonggeo-dong, Jinju; the name means little Italy in my neighbourhood, and it moved here from a smaller room in Chilam-dong.

Data as of 2026-09-27 · Published 2026-10-01 · Compiled by Gilpost

Little Italy in My Neighbourhood is a wood-fired pizza and pasta house on the ground floor of a lane off Saedeulmal-ro 22beon-gil in Pyeonggeo-dong, Jinju. It began as a small room in Chilam-dong and moved here, and nine of the writers had been going before the move — they describe a grander building and a cleaner one, and miss the old room's particular feeling. Pizzas come from the oven, two flavours to a pie if you like, alongside pasta, risotto and lasagne. One cook and one helper run the place. Closed Mondays. The posts we read run from October 2024 to June 2026.

The basics

When it opens

Of 8 posts: 6 wrote 11:30–21:00.

The values differ, but the periods they were written in do not overlap. This looks like a change over time rather than a disagreement, and the top row is the most recently reported. We did not confirm it with the restaurant.

These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. Place — check hours

What people order

The most ordered dish is sikjeonppang (식전빵(카나페)) — 10 of 18 posts.

The prices here are what bloggers wrote down in their posts, and they may have changed since. Check Naver Place for the current menu and prices. This list is not a menu board — it counts what bloggers actually ordered and ate. Check on Naver Place

What to order

• 라자냐7 ate it
  lasagna

  Wide sheets layered with ragu, bechamel and cheese, baked whole. **The most-ordered dish here** — two writers say it is what brought them back from the shop's old Chilam-dong days

  Three writers call it faintly spicy, and two pair it with the wood-fired pizza for that reason. One wanted it thicker and more densely layered. **No post gives a price**

• 새우 오일 파스타6 ate it
  saeu oil pasta₩15,000

  An oil-based prawn pasta. Two writers counted four prawns; one found the portion of pasta larger than elsewhere

  One writer calls it reliably good rather than remarkable; another's friend who dislikes oil pasta liked this one. ₩15,000 in two posts from November 2024

• 새우 리조또 라이스6 ate it
  saeu risotto rice₩17,000

  Rice in a thick, mildly hot cream with an egg yolk on top — two writers say to stir it in while hot. **One says she would travel from Seoul for this one dish**

  Two note the grains stay firm; one says it looks like rice porridge and tastes nothing like it. One party of three or four orders two of these every time. ₩17,000 in three posts from October–November 2024

• 랜치빠따따 피자5 ate it
  ranch pattata pizza

  Potato, onion, bacon and cheese under a house ranch sauce. The plain 'pattata' uses tomato sauce instead, with the same toppings — one writer ordered the half-and-half to compare

  Two prefer the ranch version; one calls it the best pizza here; one singles out the soft, well-cooked potato. **No post gives a single-flavour price** — the ₩19,000 on record is for the half-and-half

• 고르곤졸라 치즈 피자4 ate it
  gorgonzola cheese pizza₩17,000

  A wood-fired gorgonzola pizza, served **with honey on the side** by one account. Another writer eats even the crust ends on their own

  One writer values the restraint of the topping, which leaves the smoke of the oven in the dough. ₩17,000 in an October 2024 post

• 베이컨 크림 파스타4 ate it
  bacon cream pasta₩16,000

  Bacon in a thick cream sauce. One writer notes it is not spicy and suits children; another post, written by a parent, duly orders it

  One writer says it is savoury rather than cloying. ₩16,000 in two posts from October–November 2024

• 마르게리따 피자3 ate it
  margherita pizza

  Tomato, mozzarella and basil from the wood oven. One writer's case for it: a proper margherita needs a wood-fired kitchen, so you may as well have it here

  One praises the generosity of the mozzarella; another's husband will finish a whole one alone without tiring of it. **No post gives a single-flavour price**

• 샐러드 파스타3 ate it
  salad pasta

  Cold pasta under a salad. **Two writers treat it as a summer dish**; one comes in summer for this alone, and another rates it the best version she knows

  Two use it to cut the cream and cheese of the other dishes. One has tried and failed to reproduce it at home. **No post gives a price**

• 반반 피자3 ate it
  banban pizza₩19,000

  **Pick two of the four — gorgonzola, ranch pattata, pattata, margherita — and they come as halves of one pie.** Three writers took it to taste two at once

  ₩19,000 in two posts from November 2024; both chose ranch pattata and margherita

• 새우 크림 파스타3 ate it
  saeu cream pasta₩16,000

  A prawn cream pasta, **with flying-fish roe** by one account; another notices the cream runs yellower here than elsewhere

  One writer asks for the pepper and hot spice to be left out, and does; it is her child's favourite. ₩16,000 in a November 2024 post

• 까비알레 파스타3 ate it
  cabiale pasta

  Prawns and flying-fish roe in tomato sauce. **The posts spell the name two different ways**

  One writer, who avoids tomato sauce, found this one soft and unlike the rest because of the roe — **the best of the seven dishes her table ordered that day.** **No post gives a price**

• 루꼴라 피자2 ate it
  rucola pizza

  A heap of rocket with **burrata** on wood-fired dough. One writer describes it as a cold pizza, the toppings going on raw

  One writer finds no bitterness, the sauce being generous enough to carry the rocket. **No post gives a price**

• 로제 아란치니 라이스1 ate it
  rose arancini rice₩17,000

  Fried rice-and-cheese arancini with sauce. One writer marks it down as the thing to order — the dish that feels like the house signature

  **Four posts talk about it; one actually ate it** — two promise themselves next time, one records missing it. That one writer: like a risotto, but crisp. ₩17,000 in a November 2024 post

• 베이컨 로제 파스타1 ate it
  bacon rose pasta

  A thick, soft rose-sauce pasta, finished with chopped nuts

  One post: the nuts in the sauce brought the older guests at the table back for the last of it. **No post gives a price**

• 시노 올리바 피자1 ate it
  cino oliva pizza

  Olives, basil pesto, rocket and tomato on wood-fired dough

  Ordered by one party. **A companion meant to pick the olives off; they arrived chopped and scattered over the whole pizza.** If olives are a problem, choose another. **No post gives a price**

• 코톨레타named in 1
  cotoletta

  One writer saw it on the menu

  **Nobody has eaten it** — the single mention is a plan for next time. No price on record

Sides, and what comes with it

• 식전빵(카나페)10 ate it
  sikjeonppang

  **Comes free, one per person**: a bite of toasted bread with basil or greens, a pale sauce and a cherry tomato. Ten posts mention it; one says it reads like a little margherita

  Four writers call it better than it looks, and want another. **One parent of a one-year-old asked for plain bread, cut, instead of the topped version, and got it.** No post gives a price; none says it is charged for either

• 치킨텐더1 ate it
  chicken tender

  Ordered alongside pasta and pizza by one family with children

  The only verdict on record is that they ate it happily. **No price given**

• 부라타 샐러드1 ate it
  burrata salad₩17,000

  Leaves with dressing, nuts and a ball of burrata

  The one writer who ordered it ate it with the bread before the mains. ₩17,000 in a November 2024 post — **a side, not a meal**

Parking

4 posts say you can park; 1 say you cannot. We leave the disagreement standing rather than picking a side.

The posts disagree about parking. Four describe room for about two cars in front, a marked line by the park, or the side lanes; one says flatly that there is no car park, adding that you can park around the shopping block. Only one writer actually parked and says how: the building next door was empty, she asked the owner, and left the car in front of it. Posts that only list "parking available" are copying the Naver listing, so we have not counted them. Nobody writes that the shop has a car park of its own.

Who came, and with whom

Getting there

Getting inside

Almost nothing on the floor or the way in. The licence and one post's address line both say ground floor; no post counts steps, mentions a lift, or says which side the door is on. Two writers place it back inside the lane.

On wheelchair access there is one person's pram. One writer, pushing it herself, reports almost no change of level inside and an easy way in. Another post lists "wheelchair accessible at the entrance", but that is copied from the Naver listing and we have not counted it. Nobody describes a threshold or a ramp, and nobody has come in a wheelchair.

No post says anything about the toilet — not whether it is inside, not whether men's and women's are separate. One writer records exactly that detail for a different restaurant in the same post, and nothing for this one. This is not a statement that there is none. Nobody wrote it down.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 21 posts we gathered, 3 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

When the posts appeared

What we do not know

• Not one writer describes getting here without a car. No bus, no taxi, no walk from anywhere in twenty posts — only landmarks for drivers, like the back gate of the Pyeonggeo LH estate or ten minutes by car from Jinjuseong. That is not a claim that transit is poor. It means we do not know.
• Weekend and weekday waits look different, and we could not settle it. Two writers queued at weekends, registering at a pad by the counter; one found every table taken at lunch. Against that, one walked in at one on a Sunday afternoon and sat straight down. Three posts phoned ahead and ordered the food as well as the table, which looks like the safer plan.
• The prices here are two years old. Only four posts give any, and all four are from October–November 2024; the twelve posts from 2025 and 2026 never name a figure. From those four: pasta ₩15,000–16,000, risotto, arancini and the gorgonzola pizza ₩17,000, the half-and-half pizza ₩19,000. A 2026 post says only that it runs a little dear for lunch. We have not checked whether any of it still holds.
• No post declares a sponsorship. One says she paid her own way, one that her mother paid, and the other eighteen do not say — and silence is not the same as paying. One writer got 5% off for posting a feed on Instagram, about the price of a drink, she adds. Of the three posts we set aside, two are by the same refrigeration contractor, writing up a display-case installation and a cold-room repair: they were on the premises, but nobody ate.
• Opening time is written two ways: 11:30 and 11:00. Two posts from November 2024 say eleven; six, from November 2024 through 2026, say half past. One writer arrived at 11:20 to a dark room and watched it open at 11:30. On the closing day all eight agree: Monday.
