Gran Gusto

Gran Gusto serves Italian dishes and steak on a main road in Daechi-dong, Seoul. Its signature mackerel pasta tops al dente pasta with raw mackerel flesh marinated in olive oil, garlic, and herbs, served with a scallion sauce. The restaurant opened in 2004, runs halls on the first and second floors, and offers valet parking. Weekday lunch is crowded at noon and more relaxed at 1 p.m., and the pasta and course portions are on the small side.
