Three friends came for dinner and ordered abalone cream risotto (20,000 won), vongole pasta (20,000 won) and pepperoni pizza (17,000 won), which arrived in that order 8, 11 and 13 minutes apart. Three dishes were exactly the right amount for three people, and the pepperoni pizza with its flavourful dough was the one to order again. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 37 Suwan-ro 106beon-gil, Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju - **Hours**: Daily 11:30–21:00 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 14:30 and 20:20 - **What we ordered**: Abalone cream risotto 20,000 won / Vongole pasta 20,000 won / Pepperoni pizza 17,000 won - **Parking**: Street parking in the nearby alleys - **Facilities**: Groups welcome, separate men's and women's restrooms, Wi-Fi, high chairs, wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating - **Price reference**: ₩20,000 ≈ $15 · ₩17,000 ≈ $12.5 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* A Gwangju Italian restaurant recommendation — Bueokgan Suwan Branch, well known as a brunch spot in the Suwan district. ![Bueokgan Suwan Branch signature Italian dish photo](https://img.superchart.com/images/buakgan-suwan-pepperoni-pizza-dinner/buakgan-suwan-pepperoni-pizza-dinner-01-1u8xj-1200.webp) Today I went for dinner at 📍Bueokgan Suwan Branch, famous as a Suwan-district brunch spot 😊 This time I visited with two friends, and we ordered a wide range of dishes — pasta, risotto, and pizza.
