Euljiro Italian with city views, lemon scallop spaghettini: Schedule

If you're looking for a restaurant with a great atmosphere in Euljiro, Schedule Osteria is worth a look. Good food matters, but on a special day like a blind date or a date night, the mood and the view of the space count too, right?

Thanks to the great view of downtown Seoul and the stylish atmosphere, the whole meal at Schedule Osteria felt extra special.

It suits everything from a wedding invitation get-together with friends ("cheongmo") to a date with your partner or an important meeting, so I'd happily recommend it to anyone hunting for an Italian place with good atmosphere in Euljiro.

Walk-ins are possible, but most people seem to book before visiting. 💕

What is the atmosphere like at Schedule Osteria for a blind date or wedding invitation dinner?

With its open city view and refined interior, Schedule Osteria is an Euljiro restaurant that suits occasions where atmosphere matters, like blind dates, dates and wedding invitation get-togethers. It's not too casual but pleasantly upscale, so it's a place to linger rather than just eat and leave.

The first things that catch your eye when you walk in are the open view and the polished atmosphere.

It felt less like a place where you just eat and leave, and more like somewhere to enjoy the space itself and take your time.

Especially for a blind date, when you're having a meal with someone you've just met, an atmosphere that's not too casual but moderately upscale is just right, haha.

Schedule Osteria is nice for talking over a meal, and it also suited anniversaries and dates with a partner. If you're planning a wedding invitation get-together to celebrate a friend's marriage, it's appealing because you get good food and good atmosphere together.

If you can't decide where to meet on a special, precious day, it's worth putting on your shortlist :)

What did we order at Schedule Osteria?

At Schedule Osteria I ordered three things: lemon scallop butter spaghettini as the pasta, cuttlefish waxy barley squid ink risotto as the risotto, and bolognese arancini as the side dish. The menu is quite varied, and the food overall was of upscale quality.

Lemon scallop butter spaghettini: is the lemon strong?

The lemon scallop butter spaghettini had the rich, smooth flavor of butter with a gentle freshness of lemon coming through behind it. I'd expected a strong lemon taste, but the ingredients felt nicely balanced. You can enjoy a butter pasta in a lighter, cleaner way, which made it a tasty main pasta.

The scallop had that clean, mild, soft sweetness typical of seafood, and it went really well with the richness of the butter ~ Add the fresh lemon flavor and any heaviness left in your mouth just disappears.

Rather than a pasta with a heavy, strong sauce, the lightness, richness and freshness mingled together and made the whole meal feel a bit more upbeat, haha.

Cuttlefish waxy barley squid ink risotto: the best dish

The cuttlefish waxy barley squid ink risotto was personally my favorite dish at Schedule Osteria that day.

It had the deep, rich flavor squid ink risotto is known for, and unlike a typical rice risotto, you get the texture of waxy barley, which I loved.

Waxy barley is known for a crunchy, springy bite the more you chew, and it adds fun to the soft risotto.

Add the cuttlefish and you get the clean taste of seafood together with the savory depth of the squid ink. The look alone was full of personality, so it had real presence when it landed on the table, haha. It was creamy and soft, of course, and the tender, chewy cuttlefish was really good too.

Bolognese arancini: how many pieces, and is an extra worth it?

The bolognese arancini comes with 5 pieces as standard, and we added 1 more piece, haha.

Arancini is an Italian dish where rice is mixed with ingredients, shaped into balls and fried. The contrast of a crispy outside and a soft inside was appealing.

With the meaty flavor of the bolognese sauce plus the savory depth and sweetness of tomato, it tasted different from pasta or risotto.

Anything fried is definitely tasty, lol. Each piece was a good size and generously filled, so it felt hearty. I felt the three dishes went really well together! haha

Do I recommend Schedule Osteria as an Euljiro date restaurant?

Schedule Osteria is a good place to visit on a day when you want to enjoy the view and atmosphere as well as the food.

For occasions where first impressions matter like a blind date, a wedding invitation get-together with friends you haven't seen in a while, or time with your partner, it was a restaurant that fit a special person and a precious meal. With its varied, good-looking food, I'd recommend it to anyone searching for an Euljiro date restaurant.
