Compiled from 6 blog posts read in fullSources →
An Italian restaurant on the second floor of N Seoul Tower's T2, where you eat pizza, pasta and steak looking out over Seoul through floor-to-ceiling windows. Most posts were anniversary or date dinners. Five of six posts ordered the set for two (bread, Caesar salad, pizza or pasta, steak, lemon sorbet, two soft drinks); the one post that priced it paid 135,000 won in September 2026. We read 6 posts from March 2025 to September 2026, all of them 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
- All six posts wrote about the view. Two said the window seats are for two, side by side facing out rather than facing each other. Several went in around sunset and stayed into the night view, and two advised asking for a window seat when booking.
- All six posts mentioned booking. Four said they reserved ahead, three of them on CatchTable. One walked in without a reservation and still got a table. One post said the CatchTable deposit was 20,000 won per person.
- Two posts said in their own words that a table is yours for 1 hour 40 minutes, e.g. an 18:30 booking runs to 20:10. One said it was told late arrivals lose the reservation. A third post repeated the rule by copying the booking notice, so we did not count it.
- Regular cars can't drive up to the tower. Three posts went up by public transport: the Namsan circular bus from Chungmuro Station, the 01A/01B circular bus from the National Theater, or the cable car (15,000 won round trip). The three who drove parked below and went up. Two posts reported cable-car waits of 30 and 50 minutes; one gave up and walked.

- Five posts said the portions were generous; one couple who usually find sets for two too small said this one filled them up. Three mentioned juicy steak and two said it was thick-cut.

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.

3 posts say it is walkable from the station.

Three posts placed it on the tower's second floor, not underground, though one mentioned stairs on the way up.
No one wrote about a step at the entrance or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. One post took the elevator from the N Seoul Tower plaza to T1, then climbed the stairs by the plaza. We don't know whether there is a step-free route.
No one said whether the restroom is inside the restaurant or separated by gender. We don't know.
No one mentioned: Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · 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.

What we do not know
- Few posts gave prices. The 135,000-won set price comes from one September 2026 post. The Fiorentina upgrade was 70,000 won in an April 2026 post and 75,000 won in a July 2026 post, so it may have gone up in between. One post called the prices reasonable for the location; none called them expensive.
- Five posts listed opening hours, all copied from listings: 11:00-22:00 in all five, but last order is 21:00 in three and 20:30 in two. No post mentioned closing days.
- Two posts gave the phone number as 02-3455-9220, one as 02-3455-9297. Bookings were mostly made through CatchTable; no post tried booking by phone.
- No post described waiting for a table; the only waits mentioned were for the cable car. That doesn't mean there is no wait, only that nobody wrote about one.
- All five posts that said who they went with were couples. None went with friends, family, children or alone, so we can't say how it suits those.
- One post was told outside cake can't be eaten there, only photographed, and noted the restaurant sells a chestnut tiramisu. Another post set out a cake and bouquet for photos.
