There's a wide range of menu choices, from date-friendly pastas and risottos to steak, so let me introduce this Magongnaru restaurant. ![Entrance to Romaok Magok on the 3rd floor of LG Arts Center Seoul](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-02-ceu97-900.webp) ## Romaok Magok location It's located at 136 Magok-jungang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, 3rd floor of LG Arts Center Seoul. ![Romaok Magok menu board featuring pasta, risotto, and steak](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-03-ygfzn-900.webp) ## From pasta to risotto to steak, plenty of variety The menu ranges from Romaok's signature pasta and risotto dishes to steak. It's great for two people to each order something different, and with 2-person, 3-person, and 4-person sets available, it also looked convenient for groups. If you love Italian food, there are so many dishes you'll want to try that it's genuinely hard to pick just one between pasta and risotto! ![Guide to Romaok Magok's menu composition](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-04-1fux5-900.webp) ![Menu board listing set menus by number of people](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-05-5j7hw-900.webp) ## The spacious underground parking makes it easy The underground parking lot is fairly spacious, so parking was easy — just head toward LG Arts Center Seoul. Once parked, go up to the 3rd floor and you'll find Romaok Magok right away. For a date or an important meal where you're driving, this kind of accessibility really matters, and this is one of the more car-friendly restaurants near Magongnaru! ![LG Arts Center Seoul building and the way to Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-06-u01q4-900.webp) ![Passage leading up to the 3rd floor entrance of Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-07-1tff4-900.webp) ![Interior of Romaok Magok with its grand atmosphere](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-08-uhyvq-900.webp) ## A grand, atmospheric interior The interior is grand and full of atmosphere, so it feels better suited to a special occasion than a casual, everyday restaurant haha. It seemed like a great option for important meals like birthdays or anniversaries. I'd recommend this Magongnaru restaurant to anyone who cares about ambience as much as great food. ![View of the elegant dining hall at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-09-1ms4n-900.webp) ![Spaciously arranged seating at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-10-1dbr0-900.webp) ## Reserve and you'll be seated at a pre-set table Walking further inside, the seating was arranged quite spaciously. The seats in the back even had coat hangers, so you could hang up your outerwear and eat comfortably. And if you reserve ahead of time, they'll seat you at a table that's already set up, so you can start your meal a little more smoothly. ![Pre-set table at Romaok Magok for reserved guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-11-1lu7n-900.webp) So for dates or important occasions, it's a good idea to reserve in advance. If you're looking for an atmospheric restaurant near Magongnaru Station, I'd recommend booking ahead like we did. ![Inner seating area with coat hangers at Romaok Magok](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-12-1ck3l-900.webp) ![Table setting before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-13-1whfc-900.webp) ## The pre-meal vegetable ciabatta is delicious from the start Before the meal started, we were served vegetable ciabatta as pre-meal bread. The crust was plain and crisp while the inside was soft, dotted with vegetables — really tasty! 🥬 If you love bread, you can add more for ₩1,000. It's great for whetting your appetite before the main dishes arrive, and just as good eaten alongside the meal. ![Vegetable ciabatta served as pre-meal bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-14-1s9ce-900.webp) ## Mushroom truffle cream pasta: ₩26,000 The mushroom truffle cream pasta features black truffle, mushroom cream sauce, Grana Padano cheese, and mezzi paccheri. If you love the combination of truffle and mushroom cream sauce, this dish won't disappoint (I totally guarantee it!!) ![A plate of mushroom truffle cream pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-15-1xg03-900.webp) ### Cream sauce packed between the thick pasta noodles The cream sauce soaks nicely into the folds of the mezzi paccheri's signature thick noodles, so every bite comes with a rich, savory, and smooth flavor. The mushroom aroma and truffle scent paired beautifully with the cream sauce, and this was one of the most satisfying dishes I had that day — if I came back and had to pick a pasta, I'd choose this one again!! ![Mezzi paccheri noodles soaked in truffle cream sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-16-18rxk-900.webp) ## Signature Eclipse squid ink risotto: ₩25,000 The second dish we ordered was Romaok's signature Eclipse squid ink risotto. It features grilled cuttlefish, squid ink sauce, dill oil, sun-dried tomato, and freshly harvested Sindongjin rice. The deep flavor of the squid ink sauce paired with the grilled cuttlefish gave it a totally different feel from a typical risotto?~ ![Eclipse squid ink risotto topped with grilled cuttlefish](https://img.superchart.com/images/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner-17-rrsin-900.webp) ### Fresh rice with cuttlefish and sun-dried tomato The Eclipse squid ink risotto was delicious on its own, but it got even better when eaten together with the cuttlefish and sun-dried tomato. 🦑🍅 The sun-dried tomato scattered throughout gave a bright contrast to the richness of the squid ink risotto, so I kept going back for more. ## What kind of day is this good for? True to its Blue Ribbon listing, the food is served with care, and the grand, upscale interior suits a somewhat special meal, like a date or an anniversary. With pasta, risotto, and steak on the menu, plus sets from 2 to 4 people, it seemed easy to choose according to how many people you're bringing — a solid restaurant near Magongnaru Station :) ## Where it is - Romaok Magok (로마옥 마곡) - 136 Magok-jungang-ro, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, South Korea (3rd floor, LG Arts Center Seoul) - 서울특별시 강서구 마곡중앙로 136 LG아트센터서울 3층 로마옥 - 37.5648409, 126.8292275 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A1%9C%EB%A7%88%EC%98%A5%20%EB%A7%88%EA%B3%A1/@37.5648409,126.8292275,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-weeknight-tables/romaok-magok-blue-ribbon-italian-dinner/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
