Brera Restaurant, Seoul

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 real deal! Enjoyed all of the dishes we tried and the staff are super sweet. I don’t usually enjoy gnocchi but did very much like the ones we had.

My favourite Italian spot in Korea. Truly authentic and delicious Italian food, exceptional and warm-welcoming service. Recommended favorite: the Ravioli ♥ A great spot where even if you are eating alone, you will feel welcome! Thank you Brera, you guys rock! As we say in South Africa, “Baie dankie”.

I had Giovanni pizza there for my lunch before leaving Seoul and it was so good…a real pizza in Seoul is only there at Brera😋.

I discovered this restaurant many years ago by chance when the place was still fairly new and I have been a loyal customer since then .
The place gives you a generous portion of great homemade style Italian good for reasonable price.
They have plenty of seatings, but I strongly recommend you make a reservation if you plan to visit on the weekend.

Authentic Italian osteria.
Great food with modest attitude.

Found this place. Off to the side and doesn't look like much on the outside. Inside is very nice and great atmosphere. The staff and the food are amazing.

Update: the pasta is amazing. The pizza is not my thing. It's tastes good, but it's a bit thin so it got soggy fast. Can only eat it with a fork and knife.

We really, really enjoyed the food here! I had the spaghetti alla Carbonara and they were great! Loved the pizza too. Service was nice and the order didn't take long, especially considering it was a full house. Definitely recommend giving them a try!

One of my favorite Italian restaurants in Korea. It is Italian owned and has a diverse menu which is often even more customizable if you ask. I usually look on Brera's instagram/facebook page on what to order next. Pizza is a Roman style pizza which is thin unlike pizza from Naples.

Also really love the bread here. They give you different types.

Hands down the best Italian restaurant I have tried in Seoul.
We have been several times and tried many of their dishes which are amazing every time (see photos). I can only recommend to go try as it's impossible to describe on a post the flavours, texture, freshness...
They have a standard pasta and pizza menu and a separate one with dishes that include their home made fresh pasta - must try one of those. The beef it's to die for as well!
The place is very lively and has a casual atmosphere. Mainly couples, group of friends and families.
If you go peak hours better make a reservation as it's very popular.
Prices are very reasonable for the quality they offer.
Service is great and all guys working at the restaurant are polite and helpful

5th time was the charm!
Upgrading my review: I ordered the same pasta and asked them to cook 1 more minute, my friend ordered the same pasta and asked for normal cooking time. Conclusion, the pasta from before was truly undercooked but the owner gave me a second chance to come again and I used my refund after 11 months. The food was great, the service was awesome and everything is good. I will definitely come back and recommend this place to friends!

This is my 4th time here and i am downgrading my high reviews.

The pasta we've ordered (paccheri alla calabrese and spaghetti ala carbonara) are undercooked. We've told them that it was undercooked and the chef said that this is normal which is not! The pizza was great though, very good!

I came here with a friend because we recommend this place. But I hope the chef will pay more attention to cooking the pasta. Sauce is great, undercooked pasta makes it inedible.

Excellent Italian food. I've been a dozen times, with Koreans and non Koreans, and in every instance the food has been universally loved (including when a Korean middle schooler tried pesto gnocchi). You can't go wrong with anything on the menu... Also, if you like a little spice, you can ask them to make any given dish spicy... Did this on a recent trip and it made the tomato sauce gnocchi even more delicious.

They also do all the little things right... Service is friendly and attentive, when the weather is nice the windows/doors have been open, you can trust the wine list (even the house wine is good, something I can't say for many local establishments), and the coffee is better quality with a somehow cheaper price than 95% of cafes.

All this and they are also a GREAT value 💛

The dishes I want to eat! I always want to eat Italian foods made like in Italy! The olive spread with pieces of bread was good. The various fungi and potatoes,many cheeses were harmonied well! The past with olive and caper was kind of salty but the taste I want. 70% of people was foreigner. I want to try another food. :)

You are truly missing the authentic Italian vibe if you have not visited Brera yet. As you can see in the pictures even the colors of the food resemble the Italian flag. Should I mention that the restaurant is included in the Michelin Guide?

Pizzas' crust are thin and crunchy. The Pomodoro pizza is covered by a flavorful tomato sauce and the Marguerita one has perfectly melted cheese. The taste of the meaty sauce in between the layers of the lasagna is something I have never tried before. Delicious. Period. When it comes to pastas, they are made in-house, which elevates the experience to a completely new different level.

All in all, Brera is for those looking for a veridical Italian meal and everything for a reasonable price.

Good service atmosphere is awesome. The food is delicious. I will come back to eat again.

Good selection of pastas and some reasonable wines. Slightly pricey. 15-20k for most dishes. Moderate portion sizes.

Authentic Italien food in Seoul! The staff is Italian and the place is really hidden, wouldn't notice it unless you know. They make the Carbonara and Lasagna without cream (but Béchamel and egg yolk respectively), for me the number 1 proof it's the real thing! Very good prices too compared to other Italian food in Seoul. Next I'll try the Pizza, it looks huge on the neighbour tables. Totally recommend the place if you love Italian food!

Amazing!! Ask for the olive spread for your bread, it’s delicious. The wait staff are super kind and the pizza crust is so crispy that it snaps off when you grab it. The vibe is really warm too. There’s a ton to try on the regular menu, plus specials, brunch and a ‘not so’ secret menu. You’ll never run out of things to try

Perhaps, best inexpensive Italian restaurant in Korea. They also have few vegan options. They don't have break time, so it's also great to go there after lunch hours. It is always crowded. Overall, you can't get this good of Italian at this price. It is better than most Italian restaurants in Korea with much higher prices. Sucks that they don't have parking lots.

I went to Brera and tried their lovely meatball pasta with an immense amount of large tasty meat balls...count them...6!! Along with the dessert cappuchino and chocolate shavings. Always a crowd pleaser and coming back again!
