Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Located in Gwanghwamun, Pomodoro is a spaghetti specialty restaurant whose name means 'tomato' in Italian. The chef, who has 16 years of experience in the Western cuisine department of the Shilla Hotel, cooks here. This place introduced the rich flavor of cream sauce to Korea when cream spaghetti had not yet become established in the country. The interior is small, and many people visit, so there is always a long line during lunchtime. The chairs are also numerous relative to the indoor space, giving it a crowded feel. If you want to enjoy spaghetti leisurely, you should avoid meal times. Reservations are not accepted due to the many people waiting in line.
Cream sauce spaghetti is popular, and among them, the shrimp cream spaghetti features plump shrimp and a non-greasy cream sauce that pairs well, attracting many customers. In most spaghetti specialty restaurants, garlic bread or soup is served together, but here, only spaghetti is provided, and other items must be ordered separately. The space is small and you have to wait, but despite these inconveniences, people who fall in love with the taste of spaghetti continue to visit this place without end.
