### Carbonara, 17,900 won ![Plate of carbonara with thick cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-16-mk14y-966.webp) ![Close-up of carbonara topped with bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-17-1yvmu-966.webp) The second dish was the carbonara, with a soft, thick cream sauce carrying the savory flavor of cheese, plus the salty savoriness of bacon — overall a very rich, savory dish. ![Lifting a forkful of al dente carbonara noodles](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-18-i4bg5-966.webp) ![Carbonara noodles well coated in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-19-1pwtp-966.webp) The pasta was cooked al dente, so it held its chewy texture without going mushy, and the sauce coated the noodles well without feeling overly heavy. ### French rack lamb chop steak, 43,900 won ![Plate of French rack lamb chop steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-20-1vwil-966.webp) ![Cross-section of the French rack lamb chop steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-21-1uobr-966.webp) And the main dish of the day, the lamb chop steak, is made using only lamb under 12 months old — taking a bite, there was almost no gamey smell typical of lamb, just a clean yet deep flavor. ![Picking up a tender piece of lamb chop](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-22-1ju1o-966.webp) The meat wasn't chewy at all, it was tender and got more delicious the more I chewed — a dish that both lamb lovers and people who don't usually eat lamb could enjoy without hesitation. ![Grilled zucchini, mushroom, and tomato garnish](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-23-122or-966.webp) As garnish, it came with grilled zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes, each roasted simply to bring out a fresh vegetable flavor that felt like it cleansed the palate — a nice pairing with the lamb. ![Lamb chop steak cooked medium well](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner/ansan-jungangdong-italian-private-room-dinner-24-1xp0k-966.webp) I asked for it medium well, and the texture was just right — this lamb chop steak was up there with the best lamb I've had recently, and it was the most memorable dish of the meal!
