A Taste of Italy in Hannam-dong
Borgo Hannam sits on the third floor of a building in Hannam-dong, one of Seoul's most quietly sophisticated neighborhoods. The name itself — borgo, Italian for a small village or historic quarter — signals the kind of warmth and rootedness this restaurant aims to bring to the South Korean capital.
Gambero Rosso Recognition
Earning 2 Forks from Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide, places Borgo Hannam among a select group of Italian restaurants outside Italy deemed worthy of serious attention. That distinction carries weight: Gambero Rosso evaluates not just the food, but the full experience — service, atmosphere, and fidelity to Italian culinary tradition.
Italian Dining in Seoul
Seoul's dining scene has grown increasingly international, yet restaurants that earn recognition from guides rooted in the source country stand apart. Borgo Hannam represents that standard — Italian dining assessed and validated by Italian expertise, delivered in the heart of Yongsan District.
Whether you are seeking a familiar taste of Italy or discovering it for the first time in Seoul, Borgo Hannam offers a reference point worth knowing.
