Gangnam pizza restaurant: honey apple gorgonzola for two at Casamil

What kind of place is Casamil, the Italian restaurant on Garosu-gil?

I was looking for a place with good atmosphere near Sinsa Station and ended up visiting Casamil Garosu-gil. It's tucked inside Garosu-gil, so it was easy to get to, and the space was bigger than I expected — a solid choice for a Sinsa Station date or lunch spot. During the day it felt relaxed, like a brunch café, while in the evening it seemed like the kind of place to enjoy some wine and a bit more atmosphere, so I imagine it feels quite different depending on the time you go.

What's on the menu at Casamil Sinsa Garosu-gil

Casamil means "home-cooked meal" in Italian, apparently. They have a wide range of dishes made with fresh ingredients — pasta, risotto, wood-fired pizza, salads, steak — so it's the kind of place where you order several things and share rather than sticking to just one dish.

The tables are spaced generously apart, and there are group seats and rooms too, so it looked like a good fit for gatherings with friends, family meals, or a Sinsa Station date. This time I mostly ordered pizza, and honestly it was so much better than I expected that I kept reaching for more.

What is the atmosphere like inside Casamil?

Casamil's overall vibe was clean and warm. During the day, sunlight comes in and it feels like a relaxed spot for brunch, while at night the lighting shifts it into a mood better suited to wine. If you're looking for somewhere on Garosu-gil that's a bit calmer than the crowded, noisy spots, this could work well. Especially for a Sinsa Station date, it felt like a place to linger and talk rather than just eat and leave.

Casamil's weekday lunch course, 39,000 won

They also offer a weekday lunch course, a solid value at ₩39,000 — worth noting if you're after a Sinsa Station lunch spot. There's everything from lighter, brunch-style dishes to full meal options, so it seemed like a good pick when you want a slightly special weekday lunch. There's also a room that fits up to 8 people, which apparently gets used for things like wedding invitation gatherings or small group meetups.

Honey apple gorgonzola wood-fired pizza, 29,000 won

The dish I enjoyed most was the honey apple gorgonzola wood-fired pizza. The salty, savory bite of gorgonzola combined with sweet honey worked way better together than I expected.

I usually get sick of pizza pretty fast if I eat several kinds in one sitting, but oddly enough, I kept eating this one. It's sweet with a good cheesy depth, so it seems like it would pair well with wine too — if you're torn on which pizza to order, I'd recommend the honey apple gorgonzola.

Rocket prosciutto wood-fired pizza, 28,000 won

The rocket prosciutto wood-fired pizza we ordered alongside it was also delicious. The salty prosciutto topped with rocket (arugula) gave a completely different feel from the honey apple gorgonzola.

Ordering both together meant we could alternate between the sweet pizza and the savory, more subtle one, so neither got old.

Two pizzas for two people: 61,000 won in total

What we ordered that day: honey apple gorgonzola wood-fired pizza ₩29,000, rocket prosciutto wood-fired pizza ₩28,000, and a Coke for ₩4,000 — ₩61,000 total. Two pizzas for two people turned out to be a pretty generous portion.

What wines does Casamil pour?

Casamil apparently has a wide wine selection alongside its food. There are more than 40 wines at fairly approachable price points, including Greek wines, so if you're into wine there's some fun to be had just browsing the list. It's best to check corkage-free policy and conditions when you visit, but it was nice knowing you don't even need to bring your own bottle — there's plenty to choose from in-house. For anyone looking for wine near Sinsa Station, or planning an evening date on Garosu-gil, this is a good place to enjoy food and wine together.

Glass Garden, the dog-friendly private house

One space at Casamil that caught my eye was Glass Garden. It's a glasshouse-style, standalone dog-friendly date space. It looks especially appealing if you want to visit with your dog, and also good for anyone who wants a private space to enjoy a meal and wine, dog or no dog.

That said, whether dog-friendly seating or the terrace is running can vary by season, so it's worth checking before you visit.

Is Casamil a good date spot near Sinsa Station?

Personally, I think Casamil works well whether you visit during the day or in the evening. During the day, it's a relaxed brunch spot near Sinsa Station before a walk around Garosu-gil, and in the evening, wood-fired pizza with wine fits perfectly for a Sinsa Station date. Parking is available too, which is convenient if you're driving, and the interior is much more spacious than the exterior suggests.

Casamil Sinsa Garosu-gil: the verdict

Of everything I tried this time, the honey apple gorgonzola wood-fired pizza was hands down my favorite. The rich cheese flavor of gorgonzola with sweet honey on top kept me coming back for more — the other pizza was good too, but if I had to pick just one to order again, it'd be this one.

This seems like a great fit for anyone looking for brunch or lunch near Sinsa Station, and equally for those seeking a good-atmosphere date spot on Garosu-gil. Points worth noting include the value ₩39,000 weekday lunch course and Glass Garden, the dog-friendly standalone date space — so it's worth going in with your specific purpose in mind. And if you're a pizza lover like me, don't overthink it — start with the honey apple gorgonzola wood-fired pizza.
