Borgo Hannam
Italian restaurant

Borgo Hannam

Yongsan District, South Korea

Borgo Hannam-meaning "village" in Italian-is a masterclass in culinary authenticity and intimate design, helmed by Chef Stefano Di Salvo, a virtuoso who spent years commanding the kitchens of Seoul's most prestigious hotels. Ascending the intimate staircase to the third floor, guests enter a sanctuary adorned with homemade limoncello bottles, imported Italian charcuterie machines, and cured meats that signal the chef's unwavering commitment to Old World craftsmanship. Every element-from the bread baked fresh each morning to the handmade pastas and desserts-reflects Di Salvo's philosophy that excellence emerges from meticulous attention to detail. The restaurant's signature Caldaro soup, inspired by Tuscan fishermen's traditions, exemplifies the kitchen's ability to honor heritage while infusing each dish with contemporary refinement, making it an essential destination for those seeking authentic Italian dining in Asia.
