On a third visit with her mom after a full loop of Seoul Botanic Park, the writer ordered the Korean beef ragu fresh-pasta lasagna roll at 28,000 won and the abalone gaewoo pasta at 26,000 won, and the Colosseum-inspired signature lounge table and the pre-meal bread stood out most. Romaok Magok works just as well for a meal with parents as it does for a date. ## Good to know - **Location**: 3F LG Arts Center Seoul, 136 Magokjungang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul — 54m from Exit 4, Magongnaru Station - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Parking**: 2 hours of parking available inside the Arts Center - **Dishes ordered**: Korean beef ragu fresh-pasta lasagna roll 28,000 won / Abalone gaewoo pasta 26,000 won - **How to order**: Kiosk at every table - **Price reference**: ₩28,000 ≈ $21 · ₩26,000 ≈ $19.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 14, 2026* ![First photo from the visit to Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-01-1f2p7-900.webp) The weather's been so nice lately that it's the kind of fall where you just want to be outside, right?

The interior is genuinely unique and so pretty — it really does bring the Roman Colosseum to mind!! ![Romaok's signature lounge table](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-06-miqyg-900.webp) This is my third visit to Romaok, and it's the kind of place whose atmosphere pulls me in every single time. ![Interior reminiscent of the Colosseum at Romaok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-07-hrqcb-900.webp) ![Atmosphere inside Romaok Magok's dining hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-08-1fgnt-1200.webp) Isn't the table setup gorgeous?

That's exactly why it also works so well for family gatherings with parents haha. Today's order: beef ragu fresh lasagna roll ₩28,000 and abalone gaewoo pasta ₩26,000. ![Romaok's pre-meal bread with olive oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-13-1rs4a-900.webp) ### Romaok Magok's pre-meal bread As a total bread lover, I'd rank this restaurant's pre-meal bread top tier. Honestly it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I'd come back just for this bread lol. ![Cross-section of the moist pre-meal bread at Romaok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-14-1lgk5-900.webp) The bread has this moist, soft texture with a proper nutty flavor, and dipping it straight into the olive oil is genuinely so good! ![Pre-meal bread being dipped in olive oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-15-bnpjd-900.webp) You know how when the pre-meal bread is good, it automatically gets you excited for the main dishes lol. And then out came the main dishes — the lasagna roll and the pasta. ![Plating of the lasagna roll and pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-16-1ybl4-900.webp) The plating is genuinely so pretty... this is a place that really nails what women love... and when it looks this good, of course you start expecting the taste to match. ![Romaok's abalone gaewoo pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-17-1e9ck-900.webp) ### Abalone gaewoo pasta, 26,000 won The abalone gaewoo pasta was my mom's pick! It's made using gaewoo, the abalone's innards, which give it a savory, deep umami — seafood lovers will really enjoy this one! ![Gaewoo pasta topped with a large piece of abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-18-1b8oz-900.webp) The abalone pieces are pretty big too! There are garlic scapes mixed into the pasta, and they recommended eating them together! The sauce soaks in really well, and you can taste that distinct, rich savoriness of the abalone! ![Noodles well coated in sauce in the abalone gaewoo pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-19-105gd-900.webp) ![A single bite-sized portion of the abalone gaewoo pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-20-qz5rs-900.webp) It's not greasy at all, just clean and refreshing — I get why it's a signature pasta! And it was the perfect dish for my parents to enjoy too! ![Plating of the beef ragu fresh lasagna roll](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-21-8kxgo-900.webp) ### Korean beef ragu fresh-pasta lasagna roll, 28,000 won And then the beef lasagna roll! This is my absolute favorite dish I order every time I come to Romaok haha. ![Lasagna rolled up into a roll shape](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-22-1wo2u-900.webp) It's lasagna rolled up like a roll — the outside is crispy while the filling inside is moist, and it's so delicious! ![Cross-section of the lasagna roll packed with beef](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-23-1y47n-900.webp) The best part is that the roll is packed with plenty of beef, so every bite has meat and lasagna together! And the balsamic and ragu sauce combo worked way better than I expected! The rich umami of the ragu sauce plus the sweet-tart balsamic flavor was just right — not too heavy, and really tasty! ![Lasagna roll served with ragu sauce and balsamic](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge-24-1ech8-900.webp) This is genuinely a flavor that would please just about anyone! And when we ordered it alongside the abalone gaewoo pasta, the flavors didn't overlap at all — each had its own charm, so eating them together made the meal even better! ## Is Romaok Magok worth it with your parents? From the atmosphere to the food, Romaok checked every box! Living up to its Blue Ribbon reputation, the food was delicious, and it's a great spot for both a parents' outing and a date. If you're looking for a great-atmosphere Italian restaurant in Magok, I recommend Romaok! ## Where it is - Romaok Magok (로마옥 마곡) - 3F LG Arts Center Seoul, 136 Magok Jungang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강서구 마곡중앙로 136 LG아트센터서울 3층 로마옥 - 37.5648409, 126.8292275 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A1%9C%EB%A7%88%EC%98%A5%20%EB%A7%88%EA%B3%A1/@37.5648409,126.8292275,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@counter-seat-record/romaok-magok-mom-lunch-colosseum-lounge/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
