I was looking for an Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere near Children’s Grand Park, so I visited Osteria Hyeon (오스테리아 현). It is close to the main gates of Sejong University and Children’s Grand Park, and its atmosphere really stood out even from outside. There were terrace seats by the entrance, and inside, the warm lighting made it seem like a nice choice for a date or dinner!

That day, I ordered the Hanwoo tenderloin cream pasta, grilled black pork garlic pizza, Blue Moon, and Wedding Imperial Black Tea.

## Warm lighting and a terrace inside

The dark-toned exterior with its lighting looked even more atmospheric in the evening. There were terrace seats near the entrance, while inside, wood-toned flooring, dark walls, and lighting came together for an overall calm feel. As you can see in the photos, there was plenty of indoor seating and the tables were not crowded together.

There was also a wide display of wine, so it felt less like a simple pasta spot and more like an Italian restaurant where you can enjoy wine with your meal. Osteria Hyeon serves pizza baked in an oak wood-fired oven and also introduces its history of Blue Ribbon selections. According to the restaurant’s signage, it is marked as selected for Red Ribbon/Blue Ribbon from 2024 to 2026.

## What I ordered and the prices

- Hanwoo tenderloin cream pasta ₩45,000: female Hanwoo tenderloin, four kinds of mushrooms, zucchini, Gorgonzola, Reggiano cheese, and demi-glace
- Grilled black pork garlic pizza ₩38,000: fresh buffalo mozzarella, black pork belly, olive oil, Uiseong garlic, and Reggiano cheese

## Warm bread and olive oil before the meal

While we waited after ordering, the bread came out first. It looked like ciabatta, and it was served warm, so it was really delicious haha.

![Warm bread served with olive oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-osteria-hyun-cream-pasta/seoul-osteria-hyun-cream-pasta-09-tr9pj-900.webp)

It was lightly crisp outside and soft and chewy inside, with a nutty flavor when dipped in the olive oil served alongside it. The bread-and-olive-oil combination seems to be one of the more memorable parts of this place; it comes up often in other visitors’ reviews too. I ate almost all the bread before the mains even arrived haha.

## How was the Hanwoo tenderloin cream pasta?

![Hanwoo tenderloin pasta with wide noodles and cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seoul-osteria-hyun-cream-pasta/seoul-osteria-hyun-cream-pasta-11-1k1xl-900.webp)

The first dish out was the Hanwoo tenderloin cream pasta. In the photos, you can see wide noodles thoroughly coated in rich cream sauce, topped with several large pieces of seared Hanwoo tenderloin.

It contained several kinds of mushrooms rather than just one, so the texture changed a little with every bite. With Gorgonzola and Reggiano cheese, the cream sauce was quite rich and nutty, and the demi-glace gave it a deeper, fuller flavor than a simple cream pasta.

When I cut into the Hanwoo tenderloin, it was pink in the middle and nicely browned on the outside, just as in the photos. The meat was tender rather than tough, so it went well with the noodles. Since the cream sauce was rich, it tasted much better with a piece of tenderloin than with noodles alone haha.

Mushrooms and zucchini were scattered throughout as well, giving it more varied textures than a pasta with only meat. Honestly, it is on the pricey side, but with the large pieces of Hanwoo tenderloin on top, it felt more like having steak and pasta together than an ordinary cream pasta.

## The wood-fired crust of the grilled black pork garlic pizza

The second dish was the grilled black pork garlic pizza.

This restaurant bakes its pizza in an oak wood-fired oven, so even the rim of the crust had the characteristic char marks. The current menu says it includes fresh buffalo mozzarella, black pork belly, Uiseong garlic, Reggiano cheese, and olive oil.

Three small bowls of sauces and seasonings also came to the table with the pizza. I tried them a little at a time according to my taste, but the pizza itself had plenty of flavor, so I would recommend eating it plain at first and adding sauce partway through.

The grilled black pork garlic pizza was topped with generous, large pieces of black pork belly and plenty of garlic. When I picked up a slice, the dough was not overly thick: soft in the middle and chewy around the edges.

The black pork belly had a slight smoky aroma and a rich flavor, while the garlic balanced the pork’s richness, so it was not as heavy as I expected. The buffalo mozzarella melted softly, making this more than a strongly meat-forward pizza; the cheese and garlic flavors came through too.

I especially liked the edge of the crust. Because it was pizza baked right in the wood-fired oven, the rim was lightly charred, but it was chewy right through those parts too, so I ended up eating every bit haha.

## Blue Moon and Wedding Imperial Black Tea

### Blue Moon

The beer we ordered was Blue Moon, ₩9,000. It came out cold, making it nice to drink between bites of cream pasta and pizza. Especially when eating a cheese-and-meat dish like the black pork garlic pizza, a sip of beer felt like it refreshed my palate a little, so it was a good pairing.

### Wedding Imperial Black Tea

The other drink was an iced Wedding Imperial Black Tea for ₩8,000. It was nice that there was a tea option for anyone who does not drink beer. It came in a tall glass with ice, as in the photo, and it was easy to sip throughout the meal. Since it has its own tea aroma, it went well as an occasional sip alongside rich flavors like cream sauce or cheese.

## How was it for a meal near Children’s Grand Park?

Since the restaurant is close to the main gate of Children’s Grand Park and to Sejong University, it is conveniently located for a meal after visiting the park. The interior does not feel overly casual and the lighting is warm, so it seemed like a good fit if you are looking for a restaurant near Children’s Grand Park that could also work for a date. There are terrace seats too, so eating outside should be lovely when the weather is cool.

The Hanwoo tenderloin cream pasta was filling, with rich cream sauce and large pieces of tenderloin, while the pizza’s wood-fired crust was chewy and paired nicely with the black pork belly and garlic. Ordering one pasta and one pizza made them easy to alternate between. Both dishes included meat, but one had Hanwoo tenderloin and the other black pork, so the flavors did not overlap.

Plus, I really enjoyed the bread before the meal: dipping the warm bread in olive oil made for such a pleasant start before the mains arrived haha. If you want pasta or wood-fired pizza near Children’s Grand Park or Sejong University, or are looking for an atmospheric restaurant near Children’s Grand Park, Osteria Hyeon is worth a visit.
