Once we ordered, they gave us pre-meal bread, one per person — it seemed freshly baked and warm, and dipping it in olive balsamic oil got my appetite going right away, you know? ![Warm pre-meal bread served with olive balsamic oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside-11-39uya-900.webp) ![Plates of pre-meal bread served per person at Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside-12-1u55a-900.webp) The main dishes came out too~ The ragu pasta uses homemade noodles, and the moment I saw it, I thought, oh, this is the real deal! The abalone risotto also had generous, neatly arranged pieces of abalone in it — wow haha, everyone was satisfied saying there was so much abalone. ![Riverside's abalone risotto piled generously with abalone](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside-13-1lcw5-900.webp) ![Riverside's ragu pasta made with homemade noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside-14-xhsu6-900.webp) Homemade noodle pasta. As soon as it arrives, they toss it so the noodles don't stick together~ That way the sauce soaks in better and it tastes even more delicious!!!! ![A whole Margherita pizza from Riverside](https://img.superchart.com/images/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside/gijang-ilgwang-ragu-pasta-margherita-riverside-15-1c4x9-900.webp) The pizza was also surprisingly delicious. Even though it was a weekday lunch, so many people came that I was surprised, but honestly, the space, atmosphere, and taste were all satisfying for the price, so I recommend it!
