"Old Downtown" has a new Italian venue just around the corner from Brickhouse and down the street from Red 26 in the artsy district of Daeheung-dong.
(They recently celebrated their 100 days birthday last weekend 7-6-13)
The owner had lived and ran a restaurant for approximately 13 years in Australia. (if my memory serves me correctly).
If you are looking for some privacy, Dino's has 4 floors of seating to choose from.
There are various dishes to choose from. Currently, I can only recommend the pizza. The heart of a pizza is the sauce, as it holds the pizza together.
I really enjoyed the sauce, it had a nice hearty tomato taste.
Keep in mind, the other notable pizzeria in Daejeon is Nuovo Napoli up in the northern part of Daejeon, in Goong-dong.
I for one, am not a huge fan of Nuovo as the sauce lacks the flavor I'm looking for. It all depends on what you're craving.
Glen Riley and I ordered a Chicken Caesar salad. The ingredients got full marks from me even despite my dislike of anchovies. Once the salad was tossed around a bit, I didn't notice the anchovy taste.
All the important components were present and accounted for, and all were good quality.
However, the flavor although nice, the dressing was a bit tangy and it overpowered the other tastes.
Crab Lasagna -Daejeon Access doesn't recommend this dish unless its fresh^^ |
Overall the ingredients seemed fresh, with the exception of the Crab Lasagna which Earl thought was not fresh. It had a rubbery texture as if it had been microwaved. I agreed with his assessment
The presentation of the food was fine
No complaints on the service
The prices were reasonable
8/10
