Rookie the Chef is a small Italian restaurant in Bangbae 2-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, serving pasta and lasagna. It sits in an alley a short walk from Exit 6 of Isu Station. Lasagna is the signature dish, and gnocchi and risotto can be ordered as well. The second-floor loft has floor seating where shoes are removed, and arriving late in the evening means no wait, though the small seating area can lead to a queue.
