On a weekday lunch visit with my sister, we ordered calzone salad, amatriciana, and truffle fries; the calzone salad was the standout. Verdict: A satisfying revisit, though the pasta was quite spicy for me. ## Good to know - **Visit time**: Around 12 p.m. on a weekday - **Wait**: No wait at the time of visit - **Parking**: Parked at Shinsegae Department Store Cheonan Asan branch and walked - **Free parking**: A 3-hour free-parking coupon is offered with the Shinsegae app and notification consent; subject to change - **Ordered**: Calzone salad, amatriciana, truffle fries, Welch's Grape - **For children**: High chairs available *as written by the visitor on Sep 11, 2026* ## A return visit to Napoli Shinbu in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan I had such a delicious memory of visiting with my sister before that I kept thinking about it, so I came back to Napoli Shinbu (나폴리신부). It is a place in Sinbu-dong, Cheonan, where you can have wood-fired pizza and pasta. ![A full spread of calzone salad, pasta, and fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-01-r2ppy-1200.webp) *Calzone salad, amatriciana, and truffle fries* I enjoyed my first visit too, but I was just as satisfied on this second visit. The calzone salad I had this time was especially my kind of thing—good enough to keep thinking about. ## Weekday lunch visit and parking My sister and I came around noon on a weekday without making a reservation. When I arrived, we could go straight in without waiting. ![Napoli Shinbu restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-02-19aoe-966.webp) *Napoli Shinbu* It is behind Shinsegae Department Store, and you will spot it right after passing Jang Kalguksu. ![Exterior of Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-03-z2e7k-966.webp) *Napoli Shinbu exterior* We parked at the Shinsegae Department Store Cheonan Asan branch. I heard that installing the Shinsegae app and agreeing to receive notifications gets you a 3-hour free-parking coupon. ![Shinsegae Department Store parking lot B](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-04-kn543-966.webp) *Shinsegae Department Store parking lot B* After parking, we walked to Napoli Shinbu, and it was definitely a walkable distance. Benefits such as the free-parking coupon can change, so I recommend checking the app before visiting. ## A softly lit Italian restaurant in Sinbu-dong The interior had soft lighting throughout and was decorated with a lovely atmosphere. ![Softly lit interior of Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-05-xsh6y-966.webp) ![Atmospherically decorated Napoli Shinbu interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-06-uh884-966.webp) It did not feel overly formal, but it had more atmosphere than a typical casual restaurant. It seemed nice for a meal with friends or a date as well. High chairs were available too, so it seemed like a good place to visit with children. Napoli Shinbu belongs to the Wood-Fired Pizza Masters Association. ![Wood-Fired Pizza Masters Association certificate](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-07-1hgtz-966.webp) *Wood-Fired Pizza Masters Association certificate* They say they use Italian flour and mozzarella for the pizzas, and house-made stock and sauces for the pasta too. No wonder it was so delicious. ![Open kitchen where cooking can be seen](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-08-fr4a9-966.webp) *You can watch the cooking in the open kitchen* That makes it a place worth noting if you are looking for wood-fired pizza in Cheonan. ## A varied menu, from salads to pasta The menu included a wide range of Italian dishes, from salads and wood-fired pizzas to pasta and risotto. That day, we ordered the calzone salad, amatriciana, and truffle fries. It was quite a generous order for two people. We kept eating because it was delicious, but we got so full that we eventually had to leave a little. ## The calzone salad I remember most My number-one pick from everything we ate this time was absolutely the calzone salad. ![Napoli Shinbu salad topped with calzone](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-09-1thbd-966.webp) *Napoli Shinbu calzone salad* ![Large calzone salad](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-10-xd51s-966.webp) *A very large calzone* The calzone caught my eye from the moment it arrived because it was bigger than I expected. ![Large calzone compared with a face](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-11-1xfew-966.webp) *The calzone was large even compared with a face* Its size may not come across in photos, but it was quite large in person. You cut the calzone into easy-to-eat pieces with scissors and have it with the salad underneath. ![Cut calzone showing its moist interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-12-1k3gu-966.webp) *The calzone revealed a moist interior when cut* What I especially loved here was the bread. The outside was nutty from the wood-fired oven, while the inside was moist, so the texture was great. ![Nutty wood-fired calzone bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-13-or01u-966.webp) *Nutty flavor* It was much better with the salad than on its own. The salad was both fresh and nutty, and the red onion was particularly crisp and delicious. ![A bite of calzone with salad and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-14-thwbt-966.webp) *A bite of calzone bread with salad and cheese* I also ate small bites of the soft, cream-cheese-like cheese served alongside it. With the moist, nutty bread, crisp salad, and soft cheese, it felt like several flavors coming together rather than just one. ![Calzone, salad, and cheese combination](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-15-s7e4g-966.webp) *A delicious combination* This combination was so good that the calzone salad ranked first among everything we had that day. ![All the dishes ordered at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-16-w90ka-966.webp) *The full Napoli Shinbu spread* I came back because I remembered enjoying it so much last time, and this was a dish that made me think, once again, that I was glad I returned. ## Amatriciana with a noticeable kick Next was the amatriciana. For someone like me who is not good with spicy food, it was quite spicy. ![Bacon tomato amatriciana pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-17-7hdv2-966.webp) *Napoli Shinbu bacon tomato pasta* It got so spicy while I was eating that I had to alternate bites of the calzone salad and fries to soothe my mouth. My sister, who likes spicy food, enjoyed it and said it was delicious. ![Amatriciana with mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-18-r8uid-966.webp) *Amatriciana with plenty of mushrooms* The sauce was not watery; it was rich and clung closely to the noodles. There were also far more mushrooms than I expected, so I picked up a generous amount in nearly every bite. ![Spicy bacon tomato pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-19-wxrkx-966.webp) *Spicy bacon tomato pasta* If you like spicy, rich pasta, the amatriciana seems like a good choice too. But if you cannot handle spicy food well like me, keep that in mind when choosing the spice level. ## Truffle fries I kept reaching for These were the truffle fries I kept reaching for throughout the meal. ![Crisp truffle fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-20-168s8-966.webp) *Crisp truffle fries* The amatriciana was quite spicy for me, so I was not in a state to savor the truffle aroma one fry at a time. Still, the fries themselves were crisp, and they were perfect for grabbing whenever the pasta got too hot. ![Truffle fries served with ketchup](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-21-171ow-966.webp) *Truffle fries dipped in ketchup* In the end, I kept reaching for these too. With the calzone salad, pasta, and fries, it was a very generous amount for my sister and me. ![A full spread ordered by two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-22-aefq9-966.webp) *The Napoli Shinbu spread my sister and I ordered* I wanted to finish everything, but I was too full and had no choice but to leave a little. It was more disappointing because I did not leave it because it was bad—I simply could not eat any more. ![Grape-flavored drink ordered with the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-23-jfck0-966.webp) *Welch's Grape ordered with the meal* ## A satisfying second meal I returned to Napoli Shinbu because I remembered enjoying it after my first visit, and I had another satisfying meal on my second visit too. The calzone salad is especially something I would order again next time. The combination I remember most was the bread, nutty on the outside and moist inside from the wood-fired oven, with fresh and crisp salad. ![Atmospheric dining space at Napoli Shinbu](https://img.superchart.com/images/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone-24-11tfo-966.webp) *A restaurant with a nice atmosphere* The atmosphere was nice too, so I think it would be worth visiting if you are looking for somewhere to eat with friends, a date spot, wood-fired pizza in Cheonan, or Italian pasta in Sinbu-dong. ## Where it is - Napoli Shinbu (나폴리신부) (나폴리신부) - 1F, 46 Bangjungan 3-gil, Dongnam-gu, Cheonan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea - 충청남도 천안시 동남구 방죽안3길 46 1층 - 36.8224831, 127.1569015 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%98%ED%8F%B4%EB%A6%AC%EC%8B%A0%EB%B6%80/@36.8224831,127.1569015,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@daejeon-meal-map/cheonan-napoli-sinbu-spicy-pasta-calzone/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
