Visiting with a friend, they chose the steak from Lunch Set A (₩35,000) and the pollack roe oil pasta from Lunch Set B (₩25,000), sharing both along with garden salad. Large windows and generously spaced tables make it a great pick for a Bangbae date or a meal with friends. ## Good to know - **Lunch Set A**: ₩35,000 per person (choice of main + garden salad; steak chosen this visit) - **Lunch Set B**: ₩25,000 (pasta of the day + garden salad; pollack roe oil pasta this visit) - **Total for two**: ₩60,000 - **2026 Chuseok holiday closure**: Closed only on the 24th–25th - **Valet parking**: ₩3,000 for 3 hours, then ₩1,000 per additional hour - **Corkage**: Available - **Group dining**: Available - **Address**: 214 Bangbae-jungang-ro, Seocho-gu, Seoul, South Korea *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* ![Osteria Ottivo, an Italian restaurant on Bangbae Café Street](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-01-1dhzz-900.webp) ![Representative image of Osteria Ottivo](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-02-18tio-1200.webp) Bangbae-dong is a quiet neighborhood with plenty of good-vibe restaurants and cafés, making it a nice place to meet a friend or go on a date over the weekend. This time, I was looking for an Italian restaurant serving both pasta and steak not far from the Han River, since I wanted to catch the Seoul fireworks too, and I ended up at Osteria Ottivo right at the entrance of Bangbae Café Street. Let me introduce Osteria Ottivo, an Italian spot that's great for a date in Bangbae Café Street. > Osteria Ottivo ## The exterior, right at the entrance of Bangbae Café Street Osteria Ottivo looked clean and calm from the outside. The big window had PIZZA PASTA STEAK RISOTTO written on it, so you know exactly what kind of food they serve at a glance. ![Large window exterior reading PIZZA PASTA STEAK RISOTTO](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-03-125p5-900.webp) It fit right in with the relaxed vibe of Bangbae Café Street. Just a note — for the 2026 Chuseok holiday, the store is only closed on the 24th and 25th. ![Storefront view near the entrance of Bangbae Café Street](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-04-if69l-m-900.webp) ## What's the interior and seating like? Once inside, the space felt quite a bit bigger than it looked from outside. Bright walls, marble-like finishes, and warm lighting all together gave it a clean yet upscale mood. The window seats in particular got a lot of sunlight through the huge windows, which made it nice for a daytime visit. ![Dining hall interior with bright walls and marble-like finish](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-05-in1af-900.webp) The tables also had generous spacing, so it was easy to chat comfortably with my friend over the meal. It'd suit a day when you want a quiet meal, or as a Bangbae date spot. ![Table seating with generous spacing](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-06-5zofi-900.webp) During the day you can enjoy brunch and coffee, and in the evening, wine paired with Italian dishes. ![Restaurant space for both brunch and evening wine](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-07-135ab-900.webp) There's a wine display on one side of the store, and it made me want to come back in the evening. ![Wine display on one side of the restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-08-2xdlh-900.webp) They also sell cakes, so it's a good place for a simple dessert too. ![Cakes on display for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-09-ya0x3-900.webp) ## Lunch set composition and pricing We ordered from the lunch menu. Lunch Set A was ₩35,000 per person, with a choice of main plus garden salad. We picked steak as the main. ![Menu listing Lunch Set A and Set B](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-10-1sliq-900.webp) Lunch Set B came with the pasta of the day for ₩25,000. That day's option was pollack roe oil pasta, plus garden salad. Ordering both came to ₩60,000 total. Getting one steak and one pasta to share with a friend made for a great combination. ![Table setting with the lunch sets shared between two](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-11-1wkgx-900.webp) ### Garden salad The garden salad came out first, with plenty of fresh greens and cherry tomatoes. ![Garden salad with cherry tomatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-12-1reo1-899.webp) Nuts and cheese added a nutty flavor, and the dressing wasn't overdone, so it was a nice, fresh way to wake up the appetite before the main dish. ![Close-up of salad topped with nuts and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-13-1sep4-900.webp) The sauce seemed to be balsamic-based, and it had good flavor. ![Salad with balsamic-style dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-14-175r4-900.webp) ### Steak And next up, the steak! The plating alone was pretty impressive. ![Lunch set steak sliced in half, plated](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-15-4t4j3-900.webp) The meat came sliced in half for easy sharing, alongside grilled asparagus, corn, and other vegetables. A soft purée and whole grain mustard came along too, so you could pair them according to taste. ![Steak with grilled asparagus and purée](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-16-1bbvg-899.webp) The rich sauce went really well with the steak, and pink peppercorns on top added a nice visual touch. Eating it together with the grilled vegetables let us enjoy a range of flavors in one plate. ![Steak plate topped with pink peppercorns](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-17-1563l-900.webp) ### Pollack roe oil pasta The pollack roe oil pasta was tasty too. Even though it's an oil-based pasta, the sauce had a moist texture, and it came with shrimp and cherry tomatoes mixed in. The distinctive umami of the pollack roe blended naturally into the oil sauce, pairing well with the noodles. ![Pollack roe oil pasta with shrimp and cherry tomatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-18-16fmh-900.webp) There were several pieces of shrimp too, so it was fun picking them out along the way. If the steak played the role of the heavy main, the pollack roe oil pasta felt like it was in charge of umami. ![Pollack roe oil pasta with noodles lifted up](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-19-10g7a-899.webp) The pickles that came with the meal were nice to nibble on in between too — they cleaned up the palate. ![Pickles served alongside the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-20-1r5mt-900.webp) Overall, the plating was clean across the board, which also made it great for photos. ![Table with steak and pasta placed together](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-21-an1tq-899.webp) Coming with a friend and ordering one pasta and one steak worked out especially well. Rather than sticking to just one dish, alternating between the two made for a much more satisfying lunch. ![Two lunch plates shared and alternated between](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-22-1bw4p-900.webp) ### Blueberry brownie To finish, a blueberry-topped brownie! Rich and nutty — perfect as a palate cleanser. ![Blueberry-topped brownie dessert](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-23-1ylgl-900.webp) ## Day or evening — which is better? Osteria Ottivo seems like a place where the day and evening mood would be quite different. During the day, it's great for a relaxed brunch or lunch with sunlight streaming through the huge windows, and in the evening, it looks like a good spot to enjoy pasta or steak with the wine on hand. ![Daytime restaurant atmosphere with sunlight through the big windows](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta/osteria-ottivo-bangbae-lunch-set-steak-pasta-24-1y1h0-899.webp) Just as the restaurant describes itself as a space for completing special moments with the people who matter, it suits both gatherings with friends and dates equally well. ## Group dining, corkage, and valet info - Group dining available - Corkage available - Valet parking available — listed cost is ₩3,000 for 3 hours, then ₩1,000 per additional hour ## Fitting it into a Bangbae date course If you're looking for a good-vibe Italian restaurant with a friend in Bangbae Café Street on the weekend, it's worth trying the steak and pasta together at Osteria Ottivo. Since it's easy to continue on to nearby cafés after the meal, it works well as part of a Bangbae date course. It happened to be the day of the 2026 Hanwha World Fireworks Festival, so we even caught the fireworks nearby at Dongjak Bridge afterward — that made the day even more fun!
