Here Is an Official Look at Gucci's New Restaurant in Seoul

Gucci is slated to open its new Osteria da Massimo Bottura restaurant in Seoul later this month. This marks the fourth global location for the restaurant and the third location outside of Italy after Beverly Hills, California and Tokyo, Japan.

The contemporary restaurant falls under the Gucci Osteria umbrella and offers a dining experience that speaks to the traditional Italian cuisine that incorporates the South Korean palette. The menu aims to bring both Italian and Korean cultures together, including items like the Seoul Garden and Summer in Adriatic, while also featuring its signature dishes the Emilia Burger and the Tortellini with Parmigiano Reggiano Cream. The menu is developed by internationally acclaimed chef Massimo Bottura, Karime Lopez – the executive chef of Gucci Osteria Florence and Seoul’s executive chef Hyungkyu and head chef David Cardellini.

Chef Massimo explains, “There is an invisible thread that runs through each of the Gucci Osteria globally: one that entwines Italian food with the food and produce of other great global cuisines. Korea – like Italy – embraces its food as part of its culture and I’m so excited to welcome everyone to our Seoul outpost.”

The interior design features a similar aesthetic to Gucci Osteria Tokyo, including the ceiling lights, parquet flooring and colorful marble mosaic of the terrace. Additionally, a private dining room that hosts up to eight guests is hidden behind stained-glass doors. Named the Room of Mirrors, the space features antique wall mirrors that create a setting for an exclusive dining experience.
