It was one of those days where you crave something with lots of carbs, something savory and creamy and cheesy and delicious and high in calorie content. Italian food meets all of these standards, so my friend and I decided to go with Italian for lunch after our visit to the palace. To be honest, all pastas taste the same to me. Jaehee went to culinary school in Las Vegas, so if she says a restaurant is better than others, I tend to trust her judgment and follow her advice. Primo Bacio Baci is located in Daehakro - just a few steps from Hyehwa station exit 2. Walk town toward exit 1, and turn right at the big street. It will be smack in your face, and really isn't difficult to find at all.
The interior was dimly lit, with dark red seats and cozy, cute decorations along the walls. The menu was full of Italian-ish names I'd never heard of. I didn't really look through all the menus because we already knew what to order. A pizza margherita and pasta pane, along with a salad. Apparently, the pasta pane (pasta in a bowl made of bread) is this restaurant's most famous menu, because I noticed one on every single table.

| Was this garlic bread? I can't remember. But it was crispy, oily, buttery, soft, and just really good. |

| Jaehee had been here before, and luckily she knew something that most customers aren't aware of: you can print or screenshot a coupon from their website, and get a salad for free! |
Is this even a legit menu in other countries? I have no idea, but it was good. You can eat the bowl after, which tastes even better after it has soaked up all the sauce. What I liked about this dish was that the sauce was creamy and spicy at the same time, so you don't have that queasy feeling after you've finished. All savory and no spicy makes me feel a bit sick... maybe that's just the Korean in me.

| Pizza margherita, not too thin, not too thick. |
 |
| Complimentary mango sherbet for dessert. YUM! |
Italian food never disappoints, and I was happy and content after I finished all the food, as I knew I would be. The service was above average and prices very reasonable. We spent a total of 21,000 won, with free salad and dessert. I do want to try the other menus next time... so I'm hoping there will be an opportunity some time in the future. :)
