KWANGYA
광야 Gwangya Gwangya means a wilderness or vast open plain; the posts give no story behind the name, and several note it is the same word as SM Entertainment's KWANGYA.
Compiled from 22 blog posts read in fullSources →
Gwangya is an Italian restaurant on the ground floor of a building at Worldcup-buk-ro 4-gil 82, down a side street in Yeonnam-dong. It is registered as Korean, but the posts are about pasta, gnocchi and pizza: on a menu copied in July 2026, pastas run 21,000–24,000 won and every pizza is 25,000 won. The most-ordered dishes were the Italian salad pizza (8 posts), perilla-cream gnocchi (7) and ragù pizza (6). We read 30 posts from May 13 to October 7, 2026. Four were about SM Entertainment's KWANGYA merch store or another restaurant and were set aside, one was a listicle we didn't count, leaving 25 actual visits.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
What sets it apart
- It's a walk from the subway: 11 posts said they walked from Hongik Univ. Station or that it's close, several pointing to Exit 2, about five minutes on foot.
- A place for conversation: 8 posts said it was calm and easy to talk in. One first-date post noted a blind date at the table on one side and a wedding-invitation dinner on the other.
- 7 posts described the room as spacious or the tables as well spaced, one saying it easily seats a party of five.
- Despite all the cream and cheese, 7 posts said the food didn't feel greasy or heavy; one credited the perilla in the gnocchi with cutting the richness.
2 more
- 4 posts said portions were large: a family of three nearly burst on one pizza and two pastas, and a mother-daughter pair boxed up two leftover slices to take home.
- 7 posts advise booking ahead; one booked on Naver and was seated straight away. Others found several tables already taken on a Monday morning and on weekday evenings.

Parking is mixed. 4 posts said there's space beside the restaurant, one of them having parked there themselves. Copied info boxes in other posts call it cramped or two cars only, and one says there's no dedicated parking. We can't tell how many cars it really fits.

Where it is
We could not find this shop’s own listing on Naver Map, so the link searches for its Korean name around this spot instead.
From the station
11 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
| In a basement | yes 0 · no 1 (of 22 posts read) |
|---|---|
| Toilet inside | 4 of 22 posts |
No one mentioned a step at the entrance or wheelchair or stroller access. That means we don't know, not that there isn't one. One post noted firsthand that it's on the ground floor.
4 posts said the restroom is inside the restaurant, past a Mickey Mouse picture. None said whether it is split by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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 23 posts we gathered, 1 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.

What we do not know
- No post described actually waiting in line. One said there tends to be a short wait at weekend and evening peaks, so we don't know how long a wait might be.
- Hours appear in 15 posts, all copied info: 13 give 11:30–22:00, 12 a 14:50–17:00 break, 8 a 21:00 last order. One gives an 11:00 opening, one a 21:00 close, one a 15:00–17:00 break. Three say it never closes, one having seen a 'NO HOLIDAY' sign by the door.
- We know prices only from copied menus and the dishes people ordered; no one gave a total for a meal for two. A 29,000-won sea-urchin pasta shows up from September, though it wasn't on the menu copied in July.
- Opinions split on seasoning, one to one: one post said it wasn't too salty or harsh, another found the food salty overall and drank a lot of water.
- Two phone numbers are copied around: 0507-1318-1486 in 5 posts and 02-336-1486 in 2. Posts say reservations go through Naver Booking or CatchTable.
- 14 posts from late July to October 2026 use the same keyword set ('Seoul Yeonnam-dong pasta spot, Yeonnam-dong date, Yeonnam-dong Western food'). They look like commissioned posts, but none disclose sponsorship. Each describes an actual meal, so we counted them. Only one other post discloses sponsorship.
