How far is it from Unyang Station?

Restaurant Polia Gimpo Unyang Branch, a Gimpo pasta favorite in Unyang-dong, is about 5-10 minutes by car from Unyang Station!

Wood-tone interior and window seats

The overall interior is decorated mainly in wood tones! With warm lighting, brick, and wooden materials blending together, it has a comfortable yet calm atmosphere, and the tables are divided into several areas, so it feels equally easy to visit for a date or a family meal! The window side especially has great natural light, so visiting during the day makes the mood even brighter and prettier!

Group seating and baby chairs

There are also spacious tables ready for group dining! The seats are fairly generous in spacing, and there are baby chairs too, so it's great for a relaxed family meal, or for gatherings and group meals with several people! The seats run along the long floor-to-ceiling windows, so natural light comes in during the day and the whole place doesn't feel stuffy ☀️

True to a wood-fired pizza restaurant, they have a big wood-fired oven! I really love that chewiness you get from wood-fired pizza!

There's a restroom inside, so it feels clean

Garlic bread before the meal

First, garlic bread comes out before the meal! It's a baguette that's golden brown on the outside with a subtle hint of butter and garlic, so it's nice to eat a piece each before the main dishes arrive!!

Handmade Margherita pizza

A basic wood-fired pizza with mozzarella cheese, basil, and cherry tomatoes on tomato sauce, freshly baked in the wood-fired oven so it's golden brown even at the edges! The toppings aren't piled on too heavily, so it's also great to eat alongside other pasta or risotto!

The crust is crispy at the edges while chewy on the inside, and the freshness of the tomato sauce blended really well with the cheese — so delicious! Seems like a great menu item for kids too!

Shrimp rosé pasta is a bit spicy

The soft rosé sauce, a mix of cream and tomato, comes with shrimp, mushrooms, and broccoli, and I liked that there was a generous amount of sauce!

Eating the plump shrimp together with broccoli and noodles makes the soft, savory taste of the rosé sauce come through even more! It was a bit spicy for someone who can't handle spice like me though haha

Squid ink pane cream pasta

This dish comes with cream pasta served inside a hollowed-out black squid ink bread (pane), and you cut off small pieces of the bread to eat with the cream sauce!

The noodles hold onto the cream sauce so well that you get a deep, savory and soft flavor! If you like cream pasta, I highly recommend the squid ink pane!!

The squid ink bread, soaked in plenty of cream sauce, is chewy on the outside and moist on the inside, so it's a whole different way to enjoy it compared to the pasta itself 😊

The group's favorite: beef steak cream risotto

The beef steak cream risotto has creamy risotto topped generously with beef steak cut into bite-sized pieces!

Hahaha the meat was soft and juicy to chew, and the risotto had a creamy, rich flavor — this was the most popular menu item among us! It's nice on its own, but eating the steak together with the risotto blends into something even softer and more savory — highly recommend!

Dessert drinks are provided too

For dessert, you get a choice of americano (iced or hot) or herbal tea (iced or hot)! Sipping coffee or tea for dessert made the meal feel great all the way to the end!

If you head to Restaurant Polia Gimpo Unyang Branch, the Gimpo pasta favorite in Unyang-dong, be sure to enjoy a relaxed time with your loved ones :)
