Cheonggyecheon date dinner with octopus confit: Schedule Osteria

I went on a weekend date to Cheonggyecheon and stopped for dinner at Schedule Osteria, a restaurant with great atmosphere. It's a place where you can taste top-tier Italian dishes made with soft fresh pasta and fresh, high-quality ingredients. The interior is upscale and it's right next to Cheonggyecheon, so the location is excellent too — I'd really recommend it for a date or a blind date spot :-)

Outside and inside — a date course that flows into a Cheonggyecheon walk

Schedule Osteria is on the 2nd floor of the iM Financial Center, a 2-minute walk from Exit 5 of Jonggak Station. It's right next to Cheonggyecheon, so eating and then strolling along the stream made for a really nice date course.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings give it an open feel. The view of the Jonggak street outside was nice too.

Overall the interior is upscale and stylish. The calm atmosphere made it great for quietly chatting with someone.

In the evening they dim the lights, which really set the mood for a date 🤍. There's also a bar table on one side where you can watch the chefs cooking while you eat.

There are window seats for 2 to 4 people, so you can watch the street outside while eating. Seems like a good spot for engagement gatherings or dates.

There was also group seating for 6 or more. Looks great for company dinners or family gatherings sitting around a big table!

What we ordered for two

Here's what we ordered as a couple 🙋‍♀️

• ✔️ Truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle ₩33,000
• ✔️ Ragù lasagna ₩28,000
• ✔️ Octopus confit potato ₩29,000

This is the basic table setting 🍽️. The staff kept refilling our water throughout the meal.

For pre-meal bread, warm crusty bread and butter full of truffle aroma came out.

Truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle ₩33,000

We ordered their best-selling truffle cheese wheel tagliatelle, and it turned out to be a dish finished right in front of you in a cheese wheel.

They melt the cheese in the wheel and then mix the cream pasta into it once more.

After transferring the noodles neatly to the plate, they added pepper, truffle oil, and shaved fresh truffle over the top.

It felt like a special dish, extra fun just to watch being made! The staff recommended eating it as quickly as possible while hot since it's a cheese-based dish. The moment I took a bite, the subtle truffle aroma and the deep, savory tang of the cheese spread through my mouth — the flavor was really deep. It's a pasta where you can properly taste the rich flavor of the cheese itself.

Maybe because it's fresh pasta made the same day, the texture was chewy yet smooth going down. The thick cream and cheese sauce soaked into every strand, and I cleaned the plate to the last bite in awe 😖

Ragù lasagna ₩28,000

The ragù lasagna smelled amazing even before we started eating. They say it's made with 33 layers of fresh pasta sheets.

The outer pastry-like part was crispy, and inside was soft cheese and potato.

Piling on the salty tomato-based ragù sauce made it perfectly seasoned and paired well with the cheese — really delicious. The portion was a bit small, which was a little disappointing, but the flavor of the lasagna was excellent.

Octopus confit potato ₩29,000

A polpo-style dish that's beautiful just to look at. It comes with cooked octopus, smoked paprika mashed potato, pickled beets, and crispy bugak (fried seaweed chips).

The octopus was so tender it cut easily without much effort of the knife, and the texture melted in the mouth.

The potato purée was also soft, with smoky and paprika-savory notes that paired really well with the octopus. The slight richness of the polpo was cut through nicely by the tangy-sweet pickled beets, so I enjoyed it to the last bite.
