Rialto

Over the past few years, a streamlined selection of antipasti, paired with a focus on primi dishes, has been an overarching trend across Seoul’s Italian dining landscape. In line with the trend, this fine diner offers a simple menu while remaining true to its northern Italian roots, as highlighted by the name “Rialto,” and to the chef’s unique culinary philosophy, sensibilities and style. Winning dishes include tajarin and cacio e pepe, deeply flavored with a beguiling harmony of butter and cheese. The kitchen’s other pastas flaunt an equally excellent balance of sauce flavors. Pickled ponytail radish is yet another standout that evokes the endearing flavors of our memories.
