I visited Osteria Hyeon (오스테리아 현) for a Friday date with my husband. It is on the first floor at 237 Neungdong-ro in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. I liked both the terrace seating and the indoor atmosphere, and thought it would be nice to visit when the evening breeze is cool. ![Osteria Hyeon atmosphere near Children’s Grand Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-01-1ktx8-900.webp) ![Osteria Hyeon terrace and interior space](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-02-1b3ej-900.webp) ![Osteria Hyeon space visited for a date](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-03-icwc5-900.webp) ![Dining table and atmosphere at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-04-1jnl7-900.webp) Since we had reserved in advance, we were shown to a seat we liked. There was also a varied selection of wines to have with the food, but I ordered grapefruit ade instead of wine that day. ![Wine and food menu information at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-05-12242-900.webp) ![Menu ordering information at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-06-9plnh-900.webp) ## What did we order, and what came before the meal? We ordered the basil pesto buffalo mozzarella salad, prosciutto cotto pasta, and Korean beef tenderloin gorgonzola pizza. The pizza was baked in a wood-fired oven, and I could watch a staff member making it. Bread and olives were served before the meal with the grapefruit ade. ![Grapefruit ade ordered at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-07-bcdmc-900.webp) *Osteria Hyeon grapefruit ade* ![Green Castelvetrano olives served with bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-08-wuj7v-900.webp) *Green Castelvetrano olives* The olives were not salty, so they were easy to eat. The warm bread had a pleasantly chewy texture, and it could also be ordered separately. The olives made me think of having a glass of wine. ## What did the basil pesto buffalo mozzarella salad taste like? The salad arrived before the main dishes. I also liked the plate it was served on. ![Basil pesto buffalo mozzarella salad at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-09-1v14z-1200.webp) *Basil pesto buffalo mozzarella salad* ![Buffalo mozzarella salad served before the main dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-10-3j0ka-900.webp) It combined buffalo mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil pesto, and balsamic sauce. I mixed in the basil pesto, and the cheese’s chewy texture went well with the fresh-tasting flavors. It was a good dish to start the meal with. ![Salad with buffalo mozzarella and cherry tomatoes](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-11-max9z-900.webp) ![Buffalo mozzarella salad with basil pesto](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-12-1pecl-900.webp) ![Salad with buffalo mozzarella and basil pesto](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-13-dkq9t-900.webp) ## Which ordered dish did I enjoy most? The prosciutto cotto pasta was my favorite. It contained black pork prosciutto cotto and butter, and I chose it because I wanted to try a pasta I do not usually eat. ![Prosciutto cotto pasta at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-14-ihp5t-900.webp) ![Pasta with black pork prosciutto cotto and butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-15-d86kq-900.webp) The prosciutto cotto was mild and tender. The pieces of bacon throughout added savoriness. My husband, who was not particularly interested in this dish at first, enjoyed it too, and I thought it would be nice with wine. ![Pasta with tender prosciutto cotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-16-1o0am-900.webp) ![Prosciutto cotto pasta for a date meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-17-1vz0j-900.webp) ## How was the Korean beef tenderloin gorgonzola wood-fired pizza? Because I like meat, I chose the Korean beef tenderloin gorgonzola pizza. ![Korean beef tenderloin gorgonzola pizza at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-18-9p2in-900.webp) *Korean beef tenderloin gorgonzola pizza* ![Wood-fired pizza with Korean beef and buffalo mozzarella](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-19-1lbf3-900.webp) The center of the pizza was topped with buffalo mozzarella, and it also contained Reggiano cheese. The Korean beef tenderloin also felt generous. ![Korean beef tenderloin gorgonzola pizza and accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-20-6tdou-900.webp) It came with spicy oil, basil pesto, and cheese to have with the pizza. The Korean beef tenderloin was tender rather than tough. ![Korean beef wood-fired pizza with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-21-11qu7-900.webp) ![Gorgonzola pizza with Korean beef and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-22-19xe7-900.webp) The dough stayed with me as much as the toppings. I liked its chewy texture, and it also went well with basil pesto. ![Korean beef pizza with memorable chewy dough](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-23-m639n-900.webp) ![Korean beef pizza served with basil pesto](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta-24-n8fro-900.webp) For this meal, I especially liked the pasta’s mild flavor and the pizza dough’s texture. The atmosphere was pleasant too, making it a place I would think of for a date meal alongside an outing to Children’s Grand Park. ## Where it is - Osteria Hyeon (오스테리아 현) - 237 Neungdong-ro, 1st floor, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 광진구 능동로 237 1층) - 서울특별시 광진구 능동로 237 1층 - 37.5513567, 127.0762272 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%98%A4%EC%8A%A4%ED%85%8C%EB%A6%AC%EC%95%84%20%ED%98%84/@37.5513567,127.0762272,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@lunch-without-hurry/osteria-hyun-childrens-grand-park-pasta/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
