Il Vecchio is a down-to-earth, homey ristorante run by the chef couple Kim Min-gyun and Kim Bin-na. The eatery’s Italian fare brims with well-defined and focused flavors, and its signature dishes made with fresh local produce and seafood capture perfectly the tastes of the season. With meticulous execution, the chef duo cooks each and every ingredient to a precise degree with optimal juiciness, bringing out a range of nuanced flavors, aromas, and textures. Indeed, its semi-dried fresh pasta sets the standard for such extraordinary attention to culinary detail. At Il Vecchio, unrelenting gastronomic innovation that aims to delight diners with diverse yet consistent epicurean experiences is the norm. Just one caveat: The establishment is nestled in an alley, so parking may prove a challenge.
