Just after I wrote about Korea's growing diversity and ethnic food community in one of my last posts, we stumbled over an Italian restaurant in Hongdae serving authentic STONE-BAKED PIZZA amongst other tasty Italian dishes.The place is called "Le Tre Campane" and is situated in a back street in Hongdae area. Check out the restaurant's website for directions:
Le Tre Campane
Apart from the big, authentic Italian pizza baked in the stone oven, the restaurant features other common Italian dishes such as carpaccio, pasta, risotto, meat and fish. Their wine card is very limited, but when we were there, we got a very good deal of high quality 2006 Chianti for only KRW 50'000 the bottle.
A must-try for authentic Italian stone-baked pizza lovers! But one thing that always brings a smile to our lips: Even in the most authentic Western restaurants, you will always get a dish of kimchi or sour pickles on the side, just as you see in the picture we took. Buon appetito!

i am going to check that out...
but if you have been there yet, Beer O'Clock, Canadian bar in Sinchon has some real pizza to, but I have to say the sauce is on the sweeter New England style side
This place sounds great. Thanks for posting about it.
Have you tried StaSera? It's the best I've ever tired, anywhere... but the prices are most likely higher than in Hongdea. There's one in Gangnam, exit 3 about 2 or 3 blocks straight down from there. The other is in Apgujong - can't recall where though.
Can someone give me directions to this restaurant? The website is in Korean and the map on the website is no good. I have no idea where in Hongdae it is. Please please please! I miss good pizza.
Thanks!
Hi Shahen.
It's just in the street behind Seogyo Hotel in Seogyo-dong.
Take subway to Hongik University (green line no. 2), exit 5. Turn left before Paris Baguette when getting out, turn into 1st street on the right. Then walk straight, cross the busy street and walk straight into the next street. Go on for abt. 200 meters, and you'll find Le Tre Campane on the right. If you can't find it, call the restaurant (02) 336-3378, the owner speaks decent English.
