A Slice of Italy in Mapo-gu
Ciuri Ciuri stands out on Seoul's dining scene as one of the few Italian restaurants to earn recognition from Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide. The 2026 edition awarded the restaurant 2 Forks — a distinction that places it firmly among the most credible Italian tables in South Korea.
Gambero Rosso's Stamp of Approval
For diners who take Italian food seriously, a Gambero Rosso Fork rating carries real weight. It signals that the kitchen is not simply borrowing an aesthetic, but delivering food that holds up against rigorous Italian standards. Ciuri Ciuri's 2 Forks recognition in Seoul is a rare achievement, and a reliable signal for anyone seeking an honest Italian meal far from the boot.
Finding It
Located along Dongmak-ro 15-gil in Mapo-gu, Ciuri Ciuri sits in one of Seoul's more relaxed and residential western neighborhoods — a fitting setting for the kind of unhurried, convivial dining that good Italian cooking tends to invite.
