Brera Restaurant, Seoul

Unclaimed

Been here a few times and always a treat. Lasagna is absolute ? and the calzone was different than normal but closer to a folded pizza and delicious. The arcini balls are really good but probably wouldn't order again. Maybe if I was with a big group as they are huge and filling. You won't be disappointed here.

The pastas were absolutely delicious and probably the best I've had in seoul , the pizza however was mediocre at best, very thin and very soggy I was disappointed greatly. I would rate this place 2 stars if it was just the pizza..but the pasta was so delicious I had to raise it. I will definitely come again here.

The food tastes great, the portions are generous, the food prices and options are good, the wine prices and options are good. The atmosphere is pleasant enough. The only thing we would change is the level of service. The staff are friendly, but we had to ask for everything, from start to finish. Most of the time the staff only came to our table if we called them or raised our hand, even to clear dishes. Couples at other tables had to do the same thing. No one was watching the floor to see what customers needed. It was even difficult to make eye contact because they were always facing the counter, talking to each other, or behind the bar and rarely looking up ready to order....raise your hand, another glass of wine...raise your hand, need a spoon...raise your hand...clear the first round of dishes....raise your hand...need condiments....raise your hand....another glass of wine please....raise your hand...would like to have the main dishes....raise your hand....need coffee....raise your hand....would like desert as well....raise your hand ("sorry folks, no desert was made today"). So, I am not sure what to say about Brera overall. We enjoyed the food, but we felt like we had to take care of ourselves the whole time, so we couldn't fully relax, which felt unusual compared to how much money we spent.

Brera – A Slice of Real Italy in Seoul If you’re on the hunt for authentic Italian food in Seoul, Brera is an absolute gem. As someone who’s picky about Italian spots (I always check if they use guanciale in their carbonara — the real deal!), Brera totally won me over. This place has been featured in the Michelin Guide for several years in a row, and after dining here, it’s easy to see why. Their carbonara? Chef’s kiss. Creamy, rich, perfectly balanced — just like the one I had in Rome. And the amatriciana was equally impressive — bold, comforting, and packed with that deep, savory flavor you can only get from doing it right. We started with the Sicilian arancini, which were golden, crispy, and delicious — exactly how they should be. And of course, we had to finish on a sweet note — tiramisu and crème brûlée — both dreamy, both devoured in seconds. The vibe, the flavors, the authenticity… Brera nails it. If you love Italian food and appreciate places that stay true to tradition, this place is a must-visit in Seoul. I’m already planning my next visit!
