A menu that even has vegan options

This looks good, that looks good too•••

Gorgonzola pizza (₩21,000)

A thin, light dough with that distinctive gorgonzola funk and nutty flavor ♡° The honey isn't served separately — it's drizzled on beforehand, so the sweetness blends in subtly and it was so good (note that adding extra honey costs more, just FYI).

Shrimp aglio e olio (₩18,000)

Plump shrimp with plenty of arugula piled on made this dish look appetizing right from the start.

The slightly bitter aroma of the arugula added to it so it wasn't greasy at all — clean ⸌͂⸍̑⸜̑⸝͂ The shrimp was firm and springy too, personally one of the tastiest pastas I've had ♥

Potato gnocchi (₩17,000)

The thick, creamy sauce paired really well with chewy yet fluffy potato gnocchi.☘︎ ݁˖

The cream sauce was rich, so it was nutty and smooth at the same time, and with the gnocchi's chewy texture combined with the sauce, it was so delicious ♡

A trio you won't get tired of, even ordered together

Overall the menu combination was pretty great too .ᐟ.ᐟ The sweet, nutty gorgonzola pizza, the clean oil-based shrimp aglio e olio, and the rich cream sauce of the potato gnocchi ⋆｡˚ each had a different flavor direction, so even ordering several dishes together, I never got tired of it and enjoyed every bite until the end 𑁍ࠬܓ

Terrace seats that open on nice-weather days

Since the weather's been getting nice, they had the terrace open too ☀︎ Sitting on the terrace on a sunny day enjoying delicious Italian food for brunch would seriously have amazing vibes ㅜㅜ♡

Who should try Classicdang for Yeonnam-dong brunch

The food overall was delicious and the menu lineup was varied, so it was great to pick and choose based on taste at Classicdang ˚₊‧꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ Above all, sitting comfortably on a weekend eating good food and spending time like this — this is what brunch is really about ꕀ ♡

The atmosphere was relaxed and with terrace seating too, it seemed like it would suit gatherings with several people, like an engagement party or a date where you're chatting away.
