Testardo - Pusan

A series of small portions, tasting menu. Fantastic service. Not quite as authentic, but likely is the best option in Busan.

Nessuno pretende sapori italiani in corea. Ma se vanti di avere il guanciale e sei un cuoco italiano, una carbonara bene o male la tiri fuori. Qui qualità molto alta ma gusti davvero strani, la pasta che ho mangiato non mi ha convinto, e io mi approccio sempre con l'ottica del turista straniero non italiano, non cerco gusti autentici ma anche rivisitazioni interessanti. Qui il gusto era proprio fuori, troppo pepe e il guanciale arrivato ad essere amaro rovinando totalmente il piatto...peccato. Riprovero' prima o poi.

Visited the place with high expectations after reading wonderful reviews, but was extremely disappointed with my experience here. I had their lunch course, with the Manzo (cream-based steak pasta). It was bland, but because I like my food a bit on the saltier side, this is just a matter of personal preference. BUT- what I could not get over, and why I left my food unfinished, was- my pasta smelled and tasted of old tap water that had been left in plastic for too long (metal with a bit of plastic). It gave me a migraine, and I had to take ibuprofen before leaving the restaurant. The chef was so kind, and I did not have the heart to tell him, as I was the only customer during the hour. I have not had authentic Napolitan food and have no basis of comparison, but would think before going back. I see below one other similar post, and am wondering why I hadn’t read it before going. Please understand though that this is just one experience, and a personal one at that- you may have a completely different one and love it!

Beautiful and authentic Italian cuisine. I love it!

Very chic and authentic Italian restaurant. they can have the Italian feelings while eating at this place. the staff especially the chef is really welcoming, courtesy and friendly.
