150m from Gwanghwamun Station. Bocalino is an authentic Italian restaurant located within the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul on Saemoonan-ro, Jongno-gu. Following a chef change, the restaurant has received notably improved reviews for its culinary quality. The wood-fired pizzas are a particular strength. The diavola has drawn praise as one of the finest available domestically or internationally, and the margherita impresses with its chewy, pleasantly salty dough. The hanwoo beef carpaccio stands out as the top antipasti selection thanks to its exceptional freshness, while the melanzane and lasagna demonstrate equally strong execution across the starter and primo categories. Both beef and pork steaks are tender, and daily specials like the pasta of the day deliver satisfying sauce and noodle combinations. The Make Your Own Course option allows diners to assemble their preferred combination, with dessert, coffee, and sparkling water included as complimentary additions when a course is ordered. A salad bar stocked with fresh ingredients provides additional variety through vegetables and appetizers. Large windows fill the space with natural light, creating a bright, welcoming atmosphere, and window seats should be requested at the time of reservation. The wine list is thoughtfully curated with a strong Italian focus, and the service standard reflects the five-star hotel setting, making Bocalino a fitting choice for anniversaries, business entertaining, and any occasion calling for polished Italian dining in central Seoul.
