This is Allegro, a Bangi-dong jazz bar with amazing pasta and steak. ![Anniversary table at Allegro, a Bangi-dong jazz bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-01-1t04p-900.webp) Since it was our first anniversary, I left a note when I booked through Catch Table — and they prepared this event for us! The surprise was a total success~ ![Surprise 1st anniversary setting at Allegro](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-02-1qbmg-966.webp) ![A plate of Allegro's prosciutto potato salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-03-1c9d7-1200.webp) ## What we ordered at Allegro: prosciutto potato salad, carbonara, pork neck steak Prosciutto potato salad. It was a flavor I'd never tried before, and it was so good. Honestly, since it's a jazz bar I expected the jazz more than the food, but the food was seriously insane. ![Dishes laid out on the table at Allegro](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-04-17axe-966.webp) ![Close-up of Allegro's carbonara](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-05-reqqh-900.webp) The carbonara was genuinely authentic carbonara — you could taste the rich, nutty flavor of the egg yolk. Real, proper Italian dining. ![Plate of Allegro's authentic Italian pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-06-19pxr-723.webp) ![Plate of Allegro's signature pork neck steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-07-1uqy9-900.webp) We also ordered Allegro's signature pork neck steak. The pork neck was so~ so thick. And the funniest thing was, the fries were seriously delicious. ## Where Allegro is in Bangi-dong and what the room feels like Allegro is a Jamsil/Bangi-dong favorite, located on the 3rd floor of the Gloria Kalguksu building. ![Interior of Allegro on the 3rd floor of the Gloria Kalguksu building](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-08-j87g6-900.webp) Wow... so gorgeous... The lighting is all focused on the stage. There are window tables and tables right in front of the stage. Under the generally dark, low lighting, the pin spot falling on the stage gives it such an immersive feel. My boyfriend loves mellow jazz, so Allegro was perfect for him. We usually just grill meat all the time, so coming somewhere with this much atmosphere for once suddenly put us in a great mood haha. ![Allegro's hall with a pin spot falling on the stage](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-09-tc8ge-900.webp) Plus, Allegro is a newly opened spot!! It's literally brand new!! I love going to newly opened places so much. ![Sign for Allegro's jazz performance](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-10-1fffv-900.webp) ## Allegro jazz set times and the live show charge The first set runs from 7:30 to 8:10pm, 40 minutes, and the second set runs from 8:25 to 9:05pm, also 40 minutes. We went in right at 7:30. It's one menu item per person, and the show charge is ₩10,000 on weekdays and ₩15,000 on Friday and Saturday. They served us beer alongside the cool performance. ![Beer glass placed with the stage in the background](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-11-h5ibx-m-900.webp) The band peeking through the beer glasses haha ![Jazz band seen through the beer glasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-12-1xkkd-900.webp) ![Pre-meal bread at Allegro](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-13-f48st-900.webp) They start you off light with pre-meal bread. ## What does Allegro's prosciutto potato salad taste like? A unique salad appears. The salty flavor of the prosciutto and the mild, fluffy baby potatoes, plus sweet-tart berries popping through, create a refreshing sweet-and-salty harmony. The smooth, creamy dressing wraps around every ingredient perfectly, ideal for whetting the appetite before the meal. ![Salad topped with prosciutto, baby potatoes and berries](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-14-1fxf5-900.webp) ![Prosciutto potato salad with creamy dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-15-1mpuv-900.webp) The sauce was like mayo but not quite, and it went so well together. A dish I was trying for the first time, and I was very satisfied. ## Carbonara made with only egg yolk and pecorino ![Allegro's carbonara pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-16-o96ed-966.webp) And the pasta was real, genuine pasta. You can taste that rich, nutty flavor from the egg yolk. ![Carbonara noodles coated in yolk sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-17-3ip2y-966.webp) ![Carbonara noodles lifted on a fork](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-18-1ivvb-900.webp) Flavored only with egg yolk and pecorino cheese — real Italian style. The thick, silky yolk sauce clings to every single strand, and the more you chew, the more that heavy, nutty flavor fills your mouth. ![Close-up of carbonara with thick yolk sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-19-p1ydr-900.webp) ## Allegro's pork neck steak and the best fries of my life The pork neck steak was completely thick, and dipping it in the savory mushroom cream sauce was a nice touch. And the fries were seriously seriously seriously good; ![Fries served alongside the pork neck steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-20-vxy0l-900.webp) Why were the fries this good? Fries of a lifetime. The outside was crispy to the point of crunchy, and the inside broke apart soft and fluffy — a textbook crispy-outside, tender-inside fry. The balance of seasoning and oily savoriness was so good it practically demanded a cold beer. The pork neck, thick enough to fill your whole mouth, was golden brown on the outside and packed with juices on the inside, so moist. ![Cross-section of a thick-cut pork neck steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-21-5xrs4-900.webp) ![Pork neck steak dipped in mushroom cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-22-tpahx-900.webp) The rich, deep mushroom cream sauce elegantly supports what could otherwise be a plain meaty flavor. ![A piece of pork neck steak with mushroom cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-23-19r2b-900.webp) ## The 1st anniversary cake Allegro prepared from a Catch Table note ![Anniversary dessert of chocolate cake with candles and ice cream](https://img.superchart.com/images/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak-24-jouw3-900.webp) As the highlight, they prepared an anniversary event. Ice cream and a small chocolate cake with candles, even! And they wrote us a little message too. My boyfriend was genuinely touched hahaha. He kept saying things like this are supposed to be what the guy does, but I'm always the one arranging it lol. Honestly I just left a note when booking through Catch Table, and Allegro did the rest ㅠ.ㅠ You have to go to Allegro for an anniversary!! It'll make for such a gorgeous date. A Bangi-dong favorite with delicious pasta and steak, and an atmosphere made complete by the live jazz. Since it's a newly opened spot in Bangi-dong, it's even more worth checking out :) ## Where it is - Allegro (알레그로) - 57-1 Olympic-ro 32-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, South Korea (3rd floor) - 서울특별시 송파구 올림픽로32길 57-1 3층 - 37.5123328, 127.112566 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%95%8C%EB%A0%88%EA%B7%B8%EB%A1%9C/@37.5123328,127.112566,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@cups-plates-seoul/allegro-bangi-jazz-anniversary-pork-steak/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
