There's a separate terrace area ◡̈ Since it's tucked under the cathedral, it's the perfect spot to soak in the atmosphere now that the weather's turning cool ꕀ꙳ Drinking a beer here would be so good.... ꩜

Maybe because the weather was nice when I visited, there were quite a lot of people sitting outside .ᐟ.ᐟ

Seventy Four's menu and how ordering works

The menu at Seventy Four Myeongdong Cathedral Main Branch had a good range, from pasta and pizza to risotto - !

You write your order down on paper yourself ⋰˚✩

• Combination pizza (₩29,000)
• Basil pesto pasta (₩18,000)

Basil pesto pasta, 18,000 won

The basil pesto pasta had a gentle basil aroma spreading through it, and you could really taste the nuttiness of the pesto ♥ ♡̴

The flat noodles were nicely soaked in sauce, and the plump shrimp made a great addition .☘︎ ݁˖ Confession: I scraped up every last bit of the sauce

Combination pizza, 29,000 won

I just went with the combination pizza since it's the best-seller ,, from the cheese to the toppings ⋆｡˚ ♥ look at that cheese pull 𓂃𓈒𓏸 the crust was chewy yet crisp, which made it even better .ᐟ the topping-and-cheese combo was so, so good

(*•؎ •*) yep, this is definitely a real Myeongdong food find .. and it was great that everything I ordered came out almost all at once ఇ no need to wait separately for each dish, and getting to enjoy everything together at the same time was a nice touch •••♡°˚

Is Seventy Four worth it for a Myeongdong date or group meal?

Overall, every dish was delicious and the atmosphere was great, so it was a really satisfying meal ♡ On a nice day, eating leisurely on the terrace under the cathedral would be even better. The indoors was also clean and pleasant, so it was nice being able to choose seating depending on the weather ◡̈

With Italian dishes like pasta and pizza alongside a good variety of wines, this place works well for a date, a hangout with friends, or even a gathering after handing out wedding invitations 🍷 If you're looking for an Italian restaurant with a great atmosphere in Myeongdong, I recommend Seventy Four Myeongdong Cathedral Main Branch ≽^• ˕ • ྀི≼
