I returned with a close friend for Caesar salad, Melanzane pizza, and chicken steak; the eggplant-and-ricotta pizza and crisp chicken skin stood out, while the terrace felt a little warm, so we sat indoors. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, 237 Neungdong-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울 광진구 능동로 237 1층) - **Hours listed in the original post**: 11:00 AM–9:30 PM; closed Mondays - **Parking**: Free for two hours at the time of my visit - **Reservations**: Available through Catchtable and Naver Reservation - **Seating**: Indoor seating, group tables, and a terrace - **Ordered menu prices**: Caesar salad ₩25,000; Melanzane pizza ₩37,000 - **Included**: Bread before the meal, olives, and olive oil - **Price reference**: ₩25,000 ≈ $18.5 · ₩37,000 ≈ $27.5 · ₩38,000 ≈ $28 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 3, 2026* Osteria Hyeon (오스테리아 현) is a wood-fired pizza restaurant I have visited several times across from Children’s Grand Park.

The sky had an autumn feel on the day I visited, and I thought it would be nice to walk around Children’s Grand Park. Osteria Hyeon is directly across from the park, at 1F, 237 Neungdong-ro, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. ![Scenery around Children’s Grand Park on my Osteria Hyeon visit](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-03-1sk3s-966.webp) ![Around Osteria Hyeon directly across from Children’s Grand Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-04-1efqf-966.webp) Parking was free for two hours at the time of my visit. Reservations could be made through Catchtable and Naver; the original post listed hours of 11:00 AM to 9:30 PM, with Mondays closed. ![Osteria Hyeon, a pizza restaurant by Children’s Grand Park](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-05-2ucs4-966.webp) ## How was the seating for groups or meals with children? When we arrived near the end of lunch, guests had just left the group table. There were customers dining in groups, and it felt to me like a comfortable atmosphere for a meal with children, too. ![Osteria Hyeon interior and group dining table](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-06-1wtub-m-966.webp) When the weather was nice, some people ate on the terrace. It still felt a little warm that day, though, so we chose an indoor table. ![Osteria Hyeon terrace and dining area](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-07-5rswm-966.webp) Because we had reserved, name cards were prepared at our table. The manager was kind, and I ended up exchanging greetings whenever I visited. There is a wood-fired oven in the restaurant, so I ordered pizza again this time. ![Name card prepared at a reserved Osteria Hyeon table](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-08-1s5mb-966.webp) ## What were the menu prices? The original post recorded salads from ₩25,000 to ₩38,000. The Caesar salad I ordered was ₩25,000; the gorgonzola mushroom salad was ₩28,000; the grilled chicken thigh salad and basil pesto buffalo mozzarella salad were ₩29,000 each; and the grilled pen shell and shrimp salad was ₩38,000. ![Osteria Hyeon menu introducing salad varieties](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-09-1w1gx-966.webp) Pizzas ranged from the ₩29,000 Margherita to the ₩45,000 Korean beef tenderloin gorgonzola pizza. The Melanzane pizza I had was ₩37,000; the porcini mushroom pizza was ₩34,000; and the prosciutto fig and quattro formaggi pizzas were ₩38,000 each. The menu listed truffle mushroom cream risotto at ₩32,000 and seafood tomato risotto at ₩42,000. ![Osteria Hyeon pizza and risotto menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-10-1x81z-966.webp) Bread before the meal came as a standard offering, along with olives. I also liked dipping the bread in olive oil. ![Bread served before the meal at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-11-1j8rz-966.webp) ![Osteria Hyeon bread before the meal and olives](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-12-1vm03-966.webp) I ordered a Coke to drink. ![Coke ordered for lunch at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-13-1bor0-966.webp) ## What did the Caesar salad and Melanzane pizza taste like? The Caesar salad that arrived first was generously topped with crisp bacon. Overly salty salad dressing can make a salad difficult to eat, but the seasoning was just right for me, and I liked the bacon’s texture as well. ![Osteria Hyeon Caesar salad topped with crisp bacon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-14-9p1l3-966.webp) I ordered the Melanzane pizza again because I had liked it before. It had a chorizo-based sauce topped with dried eggplant, ricotta cheese, and basil. ![Melanzane pizza reordered at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-15-4605b-966.webp) ![Melanzane pizza with dried eggplant and ricotta](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-16-nkbds-966.webp) ![Osteria Hyeon pizza topped with eggplant and basil](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-17-1nl6w-966.webp) The combination of ingredients reminded me of norma pasta, which I usually enjoy. It was best while warm, but even after it cooled as we talked and ate slowly, I still enjoyed it. ![Melanzane pizza eaten for lunch at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-18-tjogm-966.webp) ![Melanzane pizza slowly enjoyed at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-19-yif2o-966.webp) ## How satisfying was the chicken steak alongside the pizza? I also wanted a meat dish, so I ordered the chicken steak. The skin was crisp, while the inside was cooked moist and tender. ![Chicken steak ordered with pizza at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-20-d7ovh-966.webp) ![Chicken steak eaten for lunch at Osteria Hyeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-21-sqjp2-966.webp) ![Osteria Hyeon chicken steak with crisp skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-22-1ef16-966.webp) ![Osteria Hyeon chicken steak served with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-23-m8uuy-966.webp) My friend said it was delicious, too. It went well with the vegetables underneath, and it was also good with the salad that had arrived first. ![Osteria Hyeon chicken dish eaten with vegetables](https://img.superchart.com/images/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza-24-9w1qp-966.webp) Time passed quickly as I ate and talked with a close friend. Office workers nearby also came here, and to me, the atmosphere suited not only a meal with friends but also a date or family meal. The available parking was another reason I would return. ## Where it is - Osteria Hyeon (오스테리아 현) - 1F, 237 Neungdong-ro, 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/@pepper-mill/osteria-hyun-eorinidaegongwon-wood-fired-pizza/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
