Romaok is said to be a brand by a chef who worked at a two-Michelin-star restaurant in Italy, and it was selected as a Seoul favorite by Blue Ribbon in 2026. Let me introduce Romaok, a place to enjoy with wine, from here! ![Romaok Magok introduction image](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-02-1x21r-900.webp) ![Romaok Magok introduction image](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-03-1nz92-900.webp) ## Italian dishes incorporating Korean ingredients They say every item on Romaok’s menu has the touch of a two-Michelin-star chef!! There wasn’t a single overlapping or similar dish; every menu item was distinctive and made me curious. There were many dishes that pair Korean ingredients with classic Italian cooking, making it easy to enjoy casually. With food that feels like you’re being treated, from a Blue Ribbon-selected restaurant, I’d recommend Romaok to anyone looking for a place in Magoknaru for a wedding-invitation gathering or a date. It felt like an ideal spot for people who enjoy gastronomy and fine dining. ![Romaok Magok menu image](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-04-6g20i-900.webp) ![Romaok Magok menu image](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-05-3zdd4-900.webp) ![Romaok Magok menu image](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-06-19e5y-900.webp) ![Romaok Magok menu image](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-07-l7kr4-900.webp) ![Romaok Magok menu image](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-08-1j6il-900.webp) Romaok has two locations, in Dogok and Magok. The place I visited today was Romaok Magok, known as a great restaurant at LG Arts Center. Located on the third floor of the huge, grand LG Arts Center building, Romaok is said to be a special dining brand personally created by a chef formerly of a two-Michelin-star restaurant in Italy. I went in with enormous expectations, and even the exterior was overwhelming. ![Exterior of Romaok Magok at LG Arts Center Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-09-11d7w-900.webp) ![Exterior of Romaok Magok at LG Arts Center Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-10-xw7hf-1200.webp) ## A European-style space suited to wedding-invitation gatherings A huge table greets you grandly as soon as you walk in! The most striking feature was the interior, reinterpreting the Colosseum and arches. So that’s why it’s called Romaok! The distinctive décor really made it feel as though I had come to Europe. The large table in the middle was surrounded by décor that felt like it belonged in a grand European manor, so it seemed perfect for gatherings such as wedding-invitation meetups or family meals. ![Large-table area at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-11-7bbp3-900.webp) ![European-style interior at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-12-17p62-900.webp) ![Gathering space at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-13-slary-900.webp) ![Group seating area at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-14-1g85o-900.webp) There were also sunny outdoor terrace seats and separate, spacious, comfortable group seats. There were actually lots of people having gatherings, and although it was a weekday afternoon, many diners were enjoying wine with their food at this fusion casual-dining spot. We ordered a non-alcoholic mojito, and I’d recommend it to people who do not drink: it was nicely sweet while cutting through any richness you might feel while eating! ![Terrace seating at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-15-1ml32-900.webp) ![Non-alcoholic mojito at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-16-owter-900.webp) We sat at a table facing the LG Arts Center hall. It was a two-person table, but it didn’t feel cramped, and it was convenient to order everything on a tablet. The small plates had already been set out, and they were so cute and pretty that I kept looking at them. ![Table with a view of the LG Arts Center hall](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-17-1i49n-900.webp) ![Small-plate setting at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-18-vju6g-900.webp) ## Scallion bread and a non-alcoholic mojito Our non-alcoholic mojito and bread course came out first. Romaok is an Italian restaurant also known for delicious bread before the meal. I was so curious about Romaok’s bread, and I was surprised as soon as it arrived. First of all, the size passed the test! And when I looked inside the thick bread, I found scallions in it. Romaok’s bread was crisp outside and soft inside; eaten on its own, it was a chewy bread full of the natural aroma of scallions, but dipped in oil, the oil’s fragrance mingled in and made it even more flavorful. It’s unfair for even the bread course to be this good, haha. The mojito was sweet but not overly sweet, so I kept reaching for it. And since it was non-alcoholic, there was zero 부담! ![Non-alcoholic mojito and bread course](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-19-1lw76-900.webp) ![Romaok bread course with scallions](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-20-rm0rr-900.webp) ![Romaok bread course with oil](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-21-1sc3b-900.webp) ## Mushroom truffle cream pasta I ordered the mushroom truffle cream pasta and the Eclipse squid ink risotto. I honestly ordered without looking closely at the photos, but the mushroom truffle cream pasta had wide, thick noodles. That actually made it nicer to taste with the cream sauce. The truffle aroma was subtle, the mushroom fragrance was harmonious, and the cream was nutty rather than heavy. It would have been delicious to dip the bread course in the sauce, but we had already finished it all, haha. I could barely smell the cheese on top, and true to its name, mushroom and truffle were the main stars. I love both mushroom and truffle, so I enjoyed it so much; even my mom, who had not had much experience with truffle, enjoyed its harmonious, non-overpowering flavor. ![Mushroom truffle cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-22-6zxdx-900.webp) ![Mushroom truffle cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-23-1e6ba-900.webp) ## Squid ink risotto with cuttlefish and sun-dried tomatoes Next was the Eclipse squid ink risotto! I had squid ink risotto at another restaurant recently, so I naturally compared it with that dish. Romaok’s Eclipse squid ink risotto had the impressive aroma that filled my mouth and a deep sauce, as you would expect from a Blue Ribbon-selected restaurant. Was the rice al dente? The texture was just right, and the cuttlefish topping was incredibly tender, practically melting in my mouth.. The best way to eat it is to have the sun-dried tomatoes and grilled cuttlefish together in one bite. Then the aroma of the squid ink risotto fills your mouth, blending with the springy cuttlefish and the tanginess of the sun-dried tomatoes for a truly eye-opening bite. It really does wake you right up, haha. It was my first time trying sun-dried tomatoes, and they were fascinating. They really felt like the kick in the cream risotto. ## A meal and walk before or after an LG Arts Center show Romaok, the Italian restaurant on the third floor of LG Arts Center in Magoknaru, also offers free parking. It is free for 120 minutes, then costs ₩3,000 per hour! The performance hall was right next to Romaok, and it looked like the musical Dracula? was playing. If you are coming to see a performance at LG Arts Center, it would be lovely to have brunch or dinner here with wine. Romaok is a great Magoknaru restaurant for a family gathering or a wedding-invitation gathering! ![Outdoor walking view at LG Arts Center Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto-24-1bwrn-900.webp) The view I came across on my way out after eating at Romaok..💗 The weather was nice, so it was also wonderful to take a walk outside LG Arts Center. Seeing a performance at LG Arts Center, having a lovely meal at Romaok, and then taking a walk would make such a great Magoknaru date course. ## Where it is - Romaok Magok (로마옥 마곡) - 136 Magokjungang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 강서구 마곡중앙로 136 LG아트센터서울 3층 로마옥 - 37.5648409, 126.8292275 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A1%9C%EB%A7%88%EC%98%A5%20%EB%A7%88%EA%B3%A1/@37.5648409,126.8292275,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@noon-diners/magok-romaok-truffle-squid-risotto/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
