Te Ate Bene Italian Restaurant in Seoul


Located in Jong-ro 2-ga this is one of several options for Italian food on this popular street. 
Te Ate Bene is located in the basement floor so its a little inconspicuous but still easy to find. 



Jacky's Rating: 6/10
Ashley's Rating: 5/10

We ordered the Gorgonzola Spaghetti which was very rich and filled with mushrooms. For me this was much better than the pizza we got. 
The cream-based sauce was rich but not over the top. 




Complimentary bread is a plus but mine was stale tasting :(


The restaurant was small but still roomy.


This is the second item we ordered it was the Margherita Pizza.
Now this is where my 5/10 rating kicks in. This pizza was loaded with cheese. I mean it was basically crust and a lot of cheese with the only other flavor coming from the tomato on top which was very good but not enough to distract from the gummy cheese.
The flavor of the cheese was good but the texture was just not good. 
We took half the pizza home to see if we can enjoy it better when reheated.



The pizza cost 13.0 won and the spaghetti 12.8 won. This was definitely pricey.
The grand total was about 26,000 won which is the most we have payed yet for a pasta and pizza.
So beware that this is not necessarily a cheap eats kinda place.
