Adore Cucina 아도레쿠치나

Tucked into a residential lane in Hyehwa-dong, away from the busy center of Daehangno, the restaurant feels like a neighborhood living room. It is a walk from Hyehwa Station, handy before or after a show, but walk-ins often face a long wait. The tongojingeo rose pasta, a tomato-cream pasta topped with a whole squid, and the Adore lasagna lead the menu. Potato cream soup, calzone salad, eggplant dishes and pizza fill out the rest. Seasoning stays gentle, and the room is calm enough for easy conversation. Portions are generous enough for two to share.
