From Gwangalli Beach, walk 4–5 minutes toward Gwangan Station from the Gwangalli Beach intersection, along the Homers Hotel and Olive Young line. If you take a bus, get off at Gwangalli Beach or Gwangan Station bus stop and walk 3 minutes. By subway, leave Gwangan Station on Line 2 through Exit 5 and walk straight toward Gwangalli Beach along the main road for about 3–4 minutes (around 250 m). It is on the back street behind the Gwangandong Ssangyong Yega The Ocean apartments, in the alley by the Gwangnam Police Substation. Tucked among Gwangalli’s side streets, Extra Mile immediately drew my eye with its polished, stylish exterior. ![Exterior of Extra Mile in a Gwangalli side street](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-04-1bxhe-966.webp) It is popular, so it can be full during peak hours or on weekends. You can easily join the waitlist through Catchtable in front of the restaurant, then relax in the waiting area after registering. ![Extra Mile waitlist registration information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-05-svghn-966.webp) ![Waiting area in front of Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-06-1p7qg-966.webp) ![Entrance waiting area at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-07-ce3z1-966.webp) ## Thoughtful details that make waiting fun As soon as I entered, I found a dedicated spot along the left wall for hanging coats, with aprons ready to use too. Extra Mile is an up-and-coming Gwangalli restaurant known for pizza made with dough aged for 48 hours and handmade pasta with sauces simmered entirely from scratch, without premade products. Extra Mile prints illustrations on its table paper, so you can color them in while you wait. As you leisurely enjoy coloring, even the wait is filled with little moments of fun and anticipation instead of boredom. I think women and children would especially love it. ![Table coloring paper and coloring tools](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-08-1ir7h-966.webp) I happily did some coloring too while I waited. ![Table coloring at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-09-11wxc-966.webp) ![Time spent coloring while waiting at the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-10-121cn-966.webp) ![Coloring while waiting at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-11-uoke5-966.webp) There is a self-service station to the right of the bar table, where you can freely help yourself to pickles, water, and tissues. The pickles were sooo good that I nearly finished the whole container—no secret there~~~~hahahahahaha. ![Self-service pickle station information](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-12-1cwh4-966.webp) ![Self-service station at Extra Mile](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-13-1k6jc-966.webp) ![Delicious self-service pickles](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-14-1pg3o-966.webp) Even the smallest details showed Extra Mile’s stylish sensibility and consideration. When I ordered a cold Coke, I was impressed that it came not just in a glass full of ice, but thoughtfully with a fresh slice of lemon. Pouring the Coke over ice, the bright lemon flavor mingled with the refreshing fizz and gave the meal such a clean finish. ![Coke served with lemon](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-15-vbw9c-966.webp) ## Hot Honey Pepperoni and Birria Taco pizza, half-and-half ### Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza The Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza combines spicy pepperoni, sweet hot honey sauce, creamy mascarpone, ricotta, and pickled peppers for a sweet-and-spicy pie. It was so delicious that next time I would order a whole one! No wonder it is one of Extra Mile’s signature dishes—so, so good. ![Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-16-1fnhi-966.webp) At Extra Mile, you can order a half-and-half pizza with no extra charge, and add a cheese crust for ₩4,000. My second choice was the Birria Taco Pizza, another of Extra Mile’s signature dishes. ![Birria Taco Pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-17-a3bpu-966.webp) ![Birria Taco Pizza with hot sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-18-17nol-966.webp) This taco pizza brings together the rich flavor of Mexican birria meat, bright pico de gallo salsa, and smooth sour cream. It was delicious on its own, but since I like bolder flavors, I piled on hot sauce and liked it even more. Extra Mile says its pizza dough is slowly cold-fermented for 48 hours, making it crisp on the outside, chewy within, and increasingly nutty and fragrant with every bite. ## The deep flavor of San Marzano tomato pasta The tomato pasta combines the deep flavor of premium San Marzano tomatoes with fresh basil and stracciatella cheese. The gentle aroma of basil made it feel fresh, while the melting cheese blended into the tomato sauce—honestly, it was delicious enough to make me faint. Extra Mile says every pasta sauce is simmered completely in-house without premade products: from tomato sauce slowly cooked with premium whole San Marzano tomatoes, to richly flavored cream sauce, to clean oil-based sauces that let the ingredients shine. ![San Marzano tomato pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-19-wrdf2-966.webp) ![Pasta with handmade tomato sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-20-srgk6-966.webp) ![Pasta with basil and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-21-g1odv-966.webp) ![Extra Mile pasta menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-22-1b6jq-966.webp) ![Dish made with handmade pasta sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-23-idqin-966.webp) ## A Gwangalli date-night setting made for conversation The tables are generously spaced, and the calm, restrained lighting lets you focus completely on your food and conversation. Couples on romantic dates and international visitors keep coming through the doors; once inside, the modern feel of the exterior flows gently throughout the room. Keep in mind that writing a review gets your table one drink for free. ### Why I recommend Extra Mile - A clean, well-maintained open kitchen - Thoughtful details that put guests first - A romantic atmosphere in an ideal location - Original flavors that still stay true to the basics ![Gwangalli’s night sea after dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile-24-1qfti-899.webp) After enjoying the carefully prepared food, I stepped outside to find Gwangalli’s night sea full of romance. A walk along the beach in the cool breeze, plus the sweet busking performances drifting in from the streets, made a wonderful food-filled day feel complete. If you want an unforgettable romantic date in Gwangalli or a lovely Italian dining experience, I highly recommend Extra Mile. ## Where it is - Extra Mile (엑스트라마일) - 11 Suyeong-ro 554beonga-gil, Suyeong-gu, Busan, South Korea - 부산광역시 수영구 수영로554번가길 11 1층 - 35.1540884, 129.1150752 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%97%91%EC%8A%A4%ED%8A%B8%EB%9D%BC%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%BC/@35.1540884,129.1150752,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@harbor-lunch-table/gwangalli-date-coloring-extra-mile/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
