a taste of italy

**written on 22 Feb 2012**


For those of you in Gumi...or Daegu...or Korea, for that matter, you MUST check this place out! I heard about this new Italian restaurant near downtown Gumi (between Gumi Station and Geumosan Mountain). We have been trying to go for awhile, and we were finally able to go yesterday. We had planned to go there together as a going away party for Kwame, but unfortunately, there was a mix up and he missed his bus back to Gumi and wouldn't get back until late. Sorry, friend! We still had you there in spirit! ^.~


La Trattoria Delacucina is the name of the restaurant. This small, quaint restaurant has a beautiful interior and nice atmosphere, and the food is cooked by a couple Korean chefs who studied in Italy. It just opened about 6 months ago, the chef told us (and he speaks English as well). For around 13,000-16,000 W (depending on the dish), you get:


*homemade bread
*bruschetta with homemade ricotta cheese and fresh basil
*appetizer
*salad
*main course
*coffee/tea for dessert


~~~> All included into the listed price of your meal. (They also have homemade tiramisu, cheese cake, and ice cream available for dessert for an additional cost.)

a cream sauce with mushrooms and meat and some other goodies, I'm sure

best pizza, for sure. I'm not a pizza person, and I even enjoyed sneaking a bite!
