Compiled from 22 blog posts read in fullSources →

An Italian restaurant in a converted hanok on an Ikseon-dong alley (33-11 Supyo-ro 28-gil), serving wood-fired pizza, pasta and risotto under exposed rafters dressed up with European bric-a-brac. Posts put pasta at 20,000-26,000 won, pizza at 23,000-30,000 won and the manzo risotto at 30,000 won; the usual order is one pizza and one pasta shared between two. We read 30 posts from 21 June to 8 October 2026; 23 of them describe an actual meal.

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

  1. The window seats come up again and again: five posts describe sitting at the window watching the alley, one urging readers to ask for it and another noting you keep meeting passers-by's eyes. One got a window table through a reservation.
  2. Seven posts say it is bigger inside than it looks, with tables on both sides of the entrance; one adds that tables were well spaced and the room stayed quiet even when busy.
  3. Five posts booked through Naver or note that booking is possible. One found Saturday lunch fully booked the day before; another copied Naver's booking windows: 11:30-20:00 on weekdays, but only 11:30-12:00 on weekends and holidays.
  4. A mild heat runs through the menu: eight posts call something spicy as they eat it, from the Giocrema cream sauce to the aglio olio, gnocchi, pesce and diavola. Most say 'a little'; only one reports a friend finding the diavola too hot to eat.

  1. Three posts mention a free drink for leaving a review; one read a table card offering a 355 ml Coca-Cola for two photos and a five-star review.
  2. Four posts noticed many foreign visitors inside or photographing the front.
  3. Five posts describe getting there by subway: three to four minutes' walk from Jongno 3-ga Station, exit 4 or 6.

Where it is

Map showing where ZIO CUCINA 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

Five posts describe getting there by subway: three to four minutes' walk from Jongno 3-ga Station, exit 4 or 6.

Getting inside

Toilet inside2 of 22 posts

No post describes the floor level or any stairs from experience; the '1F' in the address is not an observation.

Nobody wrote about a step at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. That means we don't know, not that there is none.

Two posts say the toilet is inside the restaurant; one describes one shared door plus a separate women-only one.

No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · 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 29 posts we gathered, 7 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

  • Waits split two to two: five minutes at about 1 pm on a weekend, and a line out the door at 8 pm on a weekday, versus an empty room at 11 am and walking straight in after noon on a Saturday without a booking.
  • Portions divide opinion: three posts found them small (a pizza and pasta not quite enough for two, a small Giocrema, a light shrimp-arugula pasta); one found the gamberi rosé bigger than expected.
  • Company varies: five posts came with family, four with a partner and two with friends.
  • Opening hours: seven visiting posts give 11:30-21:30 with last order at 21:00, but all copied them from an info box or Naver. One notes no listed day off or break time; a June round-up that never visited said 22:00 instead.
  • Prices rest on one or two posts per dish. The signature Giocrema appears at 22,000 won (a 4 September visit and the June list) and 23,000 won (a 14 September post). Two posts call it on the pricey side; nobody gives a total bill.
  • Three posts give the same phone number, 0507-1338-9488. Most bookings were made through Naver; one post copied a note that groups of seven or more should phone the restaurant.
  • The 'featured on Wednesday Food Talk' line recurs but is copied from a sign at the door and the restaurant's website, so we don't rely on it. Four 'N best spots in Ikseon-dong' round-ups and one wine post written by the restaurant are not counted as visits.
