One lunch at Pinoli covered three plates: Pinoli Pasta at 14,900 won, Polpette con Riso Saltato at 15,900 won and the Pinoli Salad with jambon ham and crackers at 12,900 won, eaten in turns between cream pasta, garlic fried rice and greens. It makes an easy Gapyeong-eup lunch course to pair with the nearby Jatgoeul Market five-day market afterwards. ## Good to know - **Address**: 12 Jangteo 2-gil, 1st floor, Unit 111, Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do (405 Eupnae-ri) - **Hours**: Wed–Sat 11:00–15:00 (last order 14:00) - **Closed**: Every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday - **Parking**: Free for 2 hours at the Changeop Economy Town No Brand shared lot, near the Gapyeong-eup public parking lot - **Restrooms**: Separate men's and women's restrooms inside the building - **Good to know**: Takeout, reservations and group bookings available; no pets; Wi-Fi available - **What we ordered**: Pinoli Pasta 14,900 won / Polpette con Riso Saltato 15,900 won / Pinoli Salad with jambon ham & crackers 12,900 won *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* ![Main photo of Pinoli, an Italian restaurant in Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-01-1p9qf-1200.webp) ## Where Pinoli is in Gapyeong-eup: hours and parking Pinoli (PINOLI) is located at 12 Jangteo 2-gil, 1st floor, Unit 111, Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do (405 Eupnae-ri), South Korea.

Pinoli isn't the kind of place with an enormous menu; instead it's built around solid mains like pasta, risotto and lasagna. ### Pinoli menu and prices > Pinoli Pasta ₩14,900 / Lasagna ₩15,900 / Polpette con Riso Saltato ₩15,900 / Pollo Piccante con Riso Saltato ₩15,900 / Aglio Olio ₩13,900 / Pinoli Salad ₩9,900 / Pinoli Salad with jambon ham & crackers ₩12,900 / Open jambon sandwich ₩12,900 / Tiramisu ₩7,900 / Panna cotta ₩6,900 / Rooibos & calamansi ade ₩3,900 / Calamansi ade ₩3,500 / Lemon lime bitter ₩6,900 / Milk tea ₩5,900 / Matcha latte ₩5,900 / Coke, Zero Pepsi & Sprite ₩3,000 / Sparkling mineral water ₩3,500 ![Pinoli's pasta and risotto menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-03-1mmg6-966.webp) ![Pinoli's drinks and desserts menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-04-ufqkg-966.webp) ## Inside Pinoli: interior and seating The interior was clean and calm overall. ![Calm, orderly interior of Pinoli](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-05-1ulc1-966.webp) ![Table seating layout at Pinoli](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-06-w129s-966.webp) The tables weren't cramped and the dining space felt orderly, so it was easy to chat over pasta or risotto. ![View of Pinoli's dining room, feeling like a small restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-07-jonht-966.webp) It felt more like a small restaurant than a casual spot, and the dishes come nicely plated, so it works well for a date or a family meal. ![Window seats at Pinoli](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-08-1pekl-966.webp) ![Quiet inner table at Pinoli](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-09-58gz3-966.webp) The window seats look out onto the street, so daytime visits feel a bit brighter, while the inner tables seemed good for a quieter meal. ![Neatly arranged interior of Pinoli](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-10-1xpy1-966.webp) Overall it wasn't elaborately decorated — more of a clean space that let you focus on the food. ![Interior decor display at Pinoli](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-11-otq9p-966.webp) ![Aprons and bags hanging on the wall at Pinoli](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-12-1cfsj-966.webp) There were also cute aprons and bags hanging on the wall. ## Pinoli Salad with jambon ham and crackers, 12,900 won This is the Pinoli Salad served together with jambon ham and crackers. ![Plate of Pinoli Salad with jambon ham and crackers](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-13-erwpa-966.webp) Pasta and fried rice alone can feel a bit heavy, but having the salad in between made for a good combination. ![Pinoli Salad with jambon ham and vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-14-z8kt9-966.webp) ![Jambon ham and salad piled on a cracker](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-15-32xwd-966.webp) I ate the vegetables with the jambon ham, and also piled them onto crackers — of the three dishes, this was the lightest to snack on alongside the others. ## Pinoli Pasta, 14,900 won: mafaldine in cream sauce Pinoli's signature dish, so I tried it first. ![Pinoli Pasta with bacon and mushrooms](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-16-1x50t-966.webp) It has bacon and mushrooms in a cream base with peperoncino, giving it a savory flavor with a slight kick. ![Close-up of wavy mafaldine noodles in cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-17-12r45-966.webp) Mafaldine noodles are wide with wavy edges, so the sauce clung well, and they were chewier than I expected. It's a cream sauce, but it didn't go too heavy — the occasional spicy note kept me eating it all the way through. ## Polpette con Riso Saltato, 15,900 won: meatballs with garlic fried rice Garlic fried rice topped with house-made meatballs. ![Polpette con Riso Saltato, garlic fried rice topped with house-made meatballs](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-18-1f8su-966.webp) The name sounds unfamiliar, but it's really buttery garlic fried rice eaten together with meatballs, so it was easy to enjoy. ![Close-up of buttery garlic fried rice with meatballs](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-19-1eluw-966.webp) ![Cutting a meatball to eat with the fried rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-20-1g87l-966.webp) The fried rice was savory with a good garlic aroma, and I liked that it didn't overlap with the pasta when ordered together. ![Standard side dish of yeolmu pickle](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-21-hwl8u-966.webp) ![Table with pasta and fried rice served together](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-22-1ftkv-966.webp) A side of yeolmu (young radish greens) pickle came standard, and its crisp, tangy bite was good to reach for between bites of pasta or fried rice. ## After lunch: the Jatgoeul Market five-day market nearby After eating at Pinoli, I stepped out to find Jatgoeul Market nearby, so I took a quick look around. It's a five-day market that opens every five days, and it happened to be market day when I visited. ![Scene from Gapyeong's Jatgoeul five-day market](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-23-tdmta-966.webp) ![Stalls and food at Jatgoeul Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta-24-lhwgj-966.webp) I wandered around after the meal and bought a fish cake skewer, then headed back to get my car from the parking lot once I was done browsing. Since I'd already made the trip to Gapyeong, pairing the meal with a stroll through the nearby market rather than just eating and leaving made for a good combined outing. ## Where it is - Pinoli (피놀리) - 12 Jangteo 2-gil, 1st floor, Unit 111, Gapyeong-eup, Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do (405 Eupnae-ri), South Korea - 경기도 가평군 가평읍 장터2길 12 1층 111호 - 37.8295049, 127.5151576 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%94%BC%EB%86%80%EB%A6%AC/@37.8295049,127.5151576,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-table-marker/pinoli-gapyeong-polpette-rice-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
