Heading up to the second floor, this space appeared!! The weather happened to be great that day, so sunlight was pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows — the interior looked really pretty. It felt exactly like stepping into some European restaurant.

The interior is pretty and the vibe is so good that I thought this would be a perfect place for a date! It's not loud or noisy — more of a place couples should come to,,^^

Since this restaurant has held its ground in Gwanggyo for quite a long time, the Italian menu is really diverse! Everything looked so tempting I had a hard time deciding what to pick...

You choose your menu and order via kiosk! I ordered two things: a squid ink shrimp risotto and a Zero Coke.

After waiting about 10 minutes, the food came right out!! Wow, with the European-style interior, the soft sunlight, and the Italian dishes all coming together, the photos turned out really pretty.

## Squid ink shrimp risotto: taste and portion size for 29,000 won

![A spoonful of the creamy squid ink risotto](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-squid-ink-shrimp-risotto-european/gwanggyo-squid-ink-shrimp-risotto-european-15-1ha1z-900.webp)

First off, the shrimp were huge and plump, and the springy texture was amazing!! The risotto was creamy and delicious too. Maybe because it's a squid ink risotto, it had this nutty, deep seafood aroma that blended in really well.

Next time I'd like to try the oak-fired pizza!! I heard the pizza here is genuinely delicious... but just so you know, the risotto portion was pretty small. It's ₩29,000 but the amount was really small, so I was like huh... that kind of feeling.

## Is The European Gwanggyo worth it for a daytime date in Gwanggyo?

![Sunlit window view at The European Gwanggyo](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwanggyo-squid-ink-shrimp-risotto-european/gwanggyo-squid-ink-shrimp-risotto-european-17-1pd0u-m-900.webp)

Still, the atmosphere is so nice and the photos turn out so pretty that I'd recommend it as a date course! I think it would also be nice to visit in the evening.
