Shrimp oil vs carbonara pasta near Nonhyeon Station, Seoul: Pasta Trio
Pasta Trio is an Italian restaurant near Nonhyeon Station in Seocho, Seoul, serving pasta, steak, and wine. The writer ordered the signature shrimp oil pasta alongside the creamy carbonara known as Lee Young-ja's pick, alternating bites between the two — plump shrimp on one side, sauce clinging thickly to every strand on the other. A good spot for two people with different tastes to order one plate each and share.
