It is also on the first floor of the building, making it easy to find. ![Exterior of Sedici in Seongsu-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-02-1eam0-900.webp) There is a menu displayed out front, so walk-ins are possible without a reservation, too. ## Soft lighting and an open kitchen The lighting is soft, and the kitchen is open, so you can watch the whole cooking process. ![Sedici's softly lit open kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-03-ddpsb-900.webp) ![Seating inside Sedici](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-04-qbna2-900.webp) ![Sedici's bar table and dining area](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-05-1armq-900.webp) There is a bar table in the center, tables for couples on the left, and group seating as well, so you can settle in comfortably depending on your party size. There are not that many tables, though, so I recommend booking if you are visiting at peak time. ## Sedici's menu and our order These are Italian classics interpreted through Sedici's own perspective. From appetizers and pasta to steak and dessert, it is also such a nice Western restaurant for a Seongsu anniversary date. ![Sedici's Italian menu selection](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-06-1vht6-900.webp) ![Sedici menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-07-1u2k8-900.webp) ![Sedici pasta and steak menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-08-gxhw8-900.webp) ![Sedici dessert menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-09-1x787-900.webp) Today's order was beef tartare with extra brioche, fried Chodang corn gnocchi, and butter pasta. ## Beef tartare piled onto brioche The first dish was beef tartare. Honestly, I think it was my first time having tartare.. haha. I wondered how I was supposed to eat it, but you simply pile it onto the brioche we ordered alongside it. ![Brioche and beef tartare](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-10-1donw-900.webp) Finely chopped topside and ribeye are layered with a thin spread of gim pesto (seaweed pesto), then topped with chives, an allium herb. That little touch is so refreshing. ![Beef tartare topped with gim pesto and chives](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-11-1ydji-900.webp) Would “fresh” describe this herb best? Even alongside beef, it did not feel rich or heavy; it filled out the flavor with the ingredients' natural taste. It was a great appetizer when I wanted something beyond the usual salad. ![Beef tartare with refreshing herbs](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-12-xvntw-900.webp) ![Tartare served on brioche](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-13-lsitw-900.webp) The beef was fresh and incredibly tender, so it was easy to place a bite at a time on the brioche. ## Crisp outside, chewy inside: fried Chodang corn gnocchi A rich Chodang corn cream sauce holds neatly sliced Chodang corn and handmade potato gnocchi. ![Fried gnocchi in Chodang corn cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-14-xreai-900.webp) It was even more special because it did not look or taste like the gnocchi that immediately comes to mind. Gnocchi can be fairly thick and sometimes taste floury, but Sedici's potato gnocchi was crisp on the outside and chewy within, while still giving you that fluffy potato texture. ![Handmade potato gnocchi, crisp outside and chewy inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-15-uuyfe-900.webp) ![Cream sauce and potato gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-16-1u19h-900.webp) With the rich yet smooth cream sauce, you will probably scrape the plate clean. ## Butter pasta with deep, rich flavor Just as its name suggests, this dish really highlights a seriously rich butter flavor. ![Shrimp pasta with a rich butter flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-17-2zrv2-900.webp) The shrimp and noodles are thoroughly coated in Isigny butter, giving it butter's distinctive nutty flavor and a rich yet silky texture. ![Isigny butter shrimp pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-18-adh62-900.webp) ![Butter-coated noodles and shrimp pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-19-n2guh-900.webp) It has a touch of saltiness, too, so this is a Seongsu pasta recommendation that would pair wonderfully with wine. ## Tips before you visit - Rather than a salad you can get anywhere, I strongly recommend the beef tartare as Sedici's appetizer. It was my first time trying it, but it was also the dish I remembered most. Extra brioche is ₩3,000, so I recommend adding the bread, too. - The soft lighting and generally quiet mood make this a great Seongsu date-night spot for a relaxed dinner. The open kitchen also gives you something fun to watch. ![Sedici's calm dining space](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-20-1cyh8-900.webp) Check Naver coupons before visiting. There are reservation-only coupons for a glass of wine and butter aioli, so if you are planning to go, booking before your visit could be a good idea. ![Sedici reservation-only coupon information](https://img.superchart.com/images/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi-21-1btld-900.webp) ## Final thoughts - Butter pasta with butter's creamy texture and deep flavor - Handmade fried potato gnocchi that earns Sedici its Seongsu gnocchi-spot status - A strong recommendation for beef tartare that is hard to find elsewhere - A Seongsu pasta restaurant with an especially lovely calm atmosphere ## Where it is - Sedici (세디치) - 1F, Seongsu-dong Arc Valley, 37 Seongsui-ro 22-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 성동구 성수이로22길 37 성수동아크밸리 1층 세디치 - 37.5439142, 127.0613915 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%84%B8%EB%94%94%EC%B9%98/@37.5439142,127.0613915,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@menu-margin/seongsu-sedici-tartar-gnocchi/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
