Pizza and spicy cream pasta in Seocho, Seoul: Pasta Gram

Today, I’m introducing one of my favorite pasta spots in the neighborhood. It’s Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch, right in front of Yangjae Citizen’s Forest. It’s great for a meal with friends or as a gathering spot, and I actually saw quite a few people dining alone too. (They take BPL Pay as well 😉) Best of all, the prices aren’t too burdensome, so if you’re looking for a good pasta restaurant in Yangjae-dong, you should visit at least once. Let’s get straight into the review—let’s go 🚗🚗

Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch information

• Break time: 14:30–16:00
• Parking available (contact the restaurant in advance)

Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch is so close to Exit 2 of Yangjae Citizen’s Forest Station that you won’t even finish one song on the way. (That’s how close it is 😉) It’s really close once you leave the station, making it easy to visit by public transport.

The exterior already had a comfortable, warm feel. On nice days, you can eat at the outdoor tables too, so it seemed perfect for cool weather like this.

Parking is listed as available, but if you need it, I recommend contacting the restaurant before you visit. You can park in the building parking lot!

Inside, the atmosphere is cozy overall. The restaurant isn’t huge, so there could be a wait at mealtimes. If you’re planning a visit, I recommend using Naver Reservation. We used Naver Reservation when we visited too. It makes dining a little more convenient, right?

Pasta and steak menu

Pasta Gram’s signature items are, of course, its pasta and steak. There are lots of choices, so if you come with several people, it would be great to order different dishes and share them. (Please see the photo for the detailed menu ☺️)

Pizza, pasta, and rice bowl ordered by three

• Quattro Cheese Honey Pizza (₩22,000)
• Spicy Bacon Cream Pasta (₩12,000)
• Pork Neck Chop Steak Rice Bowl (₩10,000)
• Cola (₩3,000)

Since there were three of us, we ordered a variety of things. With three dishes, the amount was just right for trying several menu items together.

Spicy Bacon Cream Pasta

The bacon spicy cream pasta came out first. It looks pretty delicious already, doesn’t it? Even though it was a cream pasta, it had a spicy kick, so it wasn’t cloying and I kept going back for more. There was a slight sweetness too, and the spicy, sweet, salty combination worked nicely.

The salty bacon pieces that popped up throughout were fun to chew on too. Personally, it was one of the dishes I really liked that day. I think it would suit people who love cream pasta but find overly rich versions a little heavy.

Pork Neck Chop Steak Rice Bowl

Next was the pork neck chop steak rice bowl. Pasta and pizza alone felt like they might be a little incomplete, so we picked a rice dish too. With pork neck in it, it made for a satisfying meal, and I thought it would also be a good choice for anyone wanting to stop by for lunch.

When I visited, I actually saw quite a few people eating alone. So I think it would be a good option for anyone looking for a place for a solo meal near Yangjae Citizen’s Forest or Yangjae-dong too. 👍🏻👍🏻

Quattro Cheese Honey Pizza

Lastly, the quattro cheese pizza. As its name suggests, it has several kinds of cheese, and I personally enjoyed it so much because the cheese flavor was rich. What stood out especially was the dough. It felt a little different from ordinary pizza dough, and its texture was good on its own, making the pizza taste even better overall.

If you love cheese, I think you’ll be very satisfied. Ordering it with pasta and sharing it made for a great combination too.

From meals with friends to solo lunches

If you’re deciding where to go for good pasta in Yangjae-dong, I’d like to recommend Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch. The food was delicious overall, and above all, I liked that the price range wasn’t too burdensome.

Like us, if three people visit and order three dishes—a pasta, pizza, and rice dish—it’s just right for tasting a variety of items together.

Personally, I especially liked the spicy bacon cream pasta and the quattro pizza. The pasta’s spicy, slightly sweet cream sauce was delicious, while the quattro pizza balanced the cheese flavor and dough well. It had an atmosphere that worked for meals with friends, dates with a partner, or an easy solo lunch.

On a nice day, you can also eat at an outdoor table, so I recommend pairing a visit with a walk around Yangjae Citizen’s Forest. If you’re looking for delicious pasta and pizza in Yangjae-dong, give Pasta Gram Yangjae Main Branch a visit.
