The place two pasta lovers visited was That Man's Italian Restaurant & Lounge, located at Ansan Jungang Station! It's run directly by a chef with 20 years of experience, including at high-end restaurants in Cheongdam-dong! Since there can be a wait on weekends, we made a Naver reservation ahead of time :)

The inside is a space where dim lighting and a calm mood come together! With lowered lighting and jazz and classical music, you can enjoy an atmospheric meal haha

![View of the calm hall tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-05-1po11-m-900.webp)

It has a slightly more upscale feel than a typical casual pasta place, so it fits well for a special anniversary visit!

![Private room that seats up to 18 people](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-06-15ep6-815.webp)

Since we had reserved ahead, they had set the table nicely — even the water glasses weren't ordinary ones, but proper glasses haha

## The menu and how to order at That Man's

Ordering is done via tablet. You can check the menu on the tablet too~ That Man's Italian Restaurant offers a variety of Italian dishes from pasta to risotto to steak! They use Australian AA9+ wagyu, lamb rack from lamb under 12 months old, and seafood shipped directly from various regions in Korea — the careful attention to ingredient selection left a strong impression!

Here's what we ordered that day!

- ✔️ Today's cream soup
- ✔️ Scallop anchovy oil pasta
- ✔️ Lamb rack steak

For the lamb rack steak, you can choose the doneness, so we asked for medium rare haha

![Pre-meal bread and today's potato cream soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-14-17wz8-900.webp)

## Bread basket and today's cream soup (potato soup)

Once you order, they bring out pre-meal bread first~ The bread alone was already so good haha

The soup of the day (potato soup) came out first! You could really feel the fluffy potato texture, and at the same time it was soft and pleasantly salty and delicious — perfect as an appetizer before the main meal!!! 🥔

![Oil pasta and lamb rack steak served on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-15-9hett-900.webp)

The oil pasta and lamb rack steak make their appearance -!

## How does the scallop anchovy oil pasta taste?

Next is the scallop anchovy oil pasta! It was my first time ever having anchovy pasta haha Anchovy is an ingredient made from salt-cured anchovies, and it added deep umami flavor to the oil pasta~

![Close-up of a scallop on top of the pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-18-1nehn-900.webp)

The scallops were also so delicious haha

![Lamb rack steak cooked medium rare](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-19-i7d47-900.webp)

## Medium-rare lamb rack steak: is it gamey?

Next is the lamb rack steak~ Being medium rare, the slight pink showing looked so delicious. At That Man's Italian Restaurant & Lounge, they said they use lamb rack from lamb under 12 months old — no wonder the meat was tender and soft.. 💖

![Cross-section of the French rack lamb](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-20-o5rg7-900.webp)

![A cut piece of the lamb rack steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-21-15ace-900.webp)

Lamb can sometimes be tough or have a strong smell that people either love or hate, but there was none of that at all and we ate it very happily! Maybe because it was ordered medium rare, the inside wasn't overcooked, so it was moist and felt tender with every bite — so delicious!ㅎㅎㅎ💞

![Mint jelly served with the lamb rack](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-22-1a8rk-900.webp)

### Mint jelly and pickles with the lamb

They served mint jelly along with the lamb rack, which is apparently traditionally served with British-style lamb dishes~ The refreshing scent and sweet taste of mint cut through the rich flavor of the lamb in a fresh way, giving it a unique feel haha

The pickles served in between were also yum~! Whether they were homemade or not, even the pickles were delicious

![Plates cleaned completely after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner/ansan-jungang-italian-lamb-rack-dinner-24-15lj9-900.webp)

We're told we cleaned our plates completely that evening... ⭐💫

## Would I book That Man's again? Final verdict

An atmospheric dinner at That Man's Italian Restaurant & Lounge after a long time! I don't usually eat lamb rack often, but after trying it this time, I'd want to order it again next time. It's easily accessible near Ansan Jungang Station, and since Naver reservations are possible, it's a great place to book ahead for a date or anniversary! They said kids are welcome too as a yes-kids-zone, so I'd also recommend it as a family dining spot~!
