Tuesdays With Trish - Grano Italian Restaurant

10/12/2013

There are some days that are just WAY more fun than others, this was one of those days.
I got an extra ab work out because we laughed so much on our journey to Grano's Italian restaurant.
 On this rainy, rainy day  Jerri was our leader. 
We were accompanied by our new pals Thunder and Lightening.
Umbrellas were involved of course and we were fearful we might be conductors for the lightening.
Lightening is somewhat rare here in Korea.

Once exiting the subway you still have about a 10 minute walk to get to Grano's.
We discussed jumping in a taxi but decided to hoof it instead.
In the rain.
Our pals Thunder and Lightening had not made an appearance as of yet.
Then the rain REALLY started coming down.
You know that Korean sideways, knock you over type rain.
Yeah, that rain.
Then our friend Thunder BOOMED right beside us.
Our umbrellas weren't helping much.
We were wet from our waist down.
Then Lightening made an appearance.
And another, and another.
Jerri ask us to tell her family she loved them and she was sorry she was being so careless all for good Italian food.

In the end we made it.
Soaking wet, but alive.
Picture
See, we clean up pretty well.
Picture
During our adventurous trip Jerri was a little nervous, hoping it was 'worth' it and that we not be disappointed after we all risk our lives to get here.

They had me at 'black truffle pesto'.
Picture
The prices were a bit more than we like to pay for a lunch out with friends, but oh baby it was SO WORTH IT!!!
I had the sea bass, served on a bed of spinach, tomatoes and some sort of scrumptious sauce.
Typically I would never order sea bass because most people don't cook it properly and I'm always disappointed.
NOT TODAY!  The chef cooked it to perfection - it was melt in my mouth deliciousness.

The Alfredo was divine.
And the spicy eggplant pasta dish was a little slice of heaven.
It was a win, win all the way around.
(except for my pictures - I had a rough photography day.  I blame it on the rain.)

The desserts were just OK.
I would not order the cannoli again.
The tiramisu was just OK, nothing to write home about.
We also had cheese cake.

Personally, I would skip the dessert and just go with wine. We did have a little mix up when it came to the wine... the waiter told us the wine was 6,000 won per glass, which we were SHOCKED about and we questioned him a couple of times about, but he continued to say 6,000 won.  In reality it was 16,000 won.  We should have known better.    At least it was good wine.  :o)
Picture
Remember the rain?
There was so much they had to use a snow shovel to remove it.
Picture
Picture
Thank goodness the trip home was not as eventful as the trip to Grano.
Picture
I apologize, I cannot give you directions to Grano.
However I can give you the address.

Just jump in a cab and give this information to your cab driver:

Tuesdays With Trish - Trevia!

6/16/2013

A few weeks ago the girls and I went to Trevia in Itaewon-dong.
Not the main street in Itaewon, but closer to the Noksapyung Subway station.
OR out the Kimchi Pot Gate.

I have a couple of friends that just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place.
Picture
It is a quaint little place...they have coffee, beer, wine and all kinds of pizza!
And their presentation is very nice!
Picture
This sweet potato pizza was very unique.
Picture
Below:
 Pizza slice at top: 4 cheese pizza - 4 different types of cheese, but in the four corners (scratching head on that one!) Middle: pretty good, mushroom pizza and bottom: margarita pizza - seems to be missing a few things.
Picture
I'm glad I tried Trevia, but for a good slice of traditional pizza I would much rather go to my favorite pizza place -       Pizza Peel!
To get there:
From the Kimchi Pot Gate:
Exit and take a right.
Go down and cross the street.
Come out on the right exit and walk just a few feet and you will see Trevia on your left.

    Hi, I'm Trish, the writer, creator and photographer of this blog.  I started this blog for 2 reasons, 1 - When I found out we were moving to Korea back in 2008 I was a little freaked out and started scouring the internet for information on Korea. At that time there wasn't much out there so I am doing my part in helping families across the world not be so freaked out when it comes time to move to Korea.  The 2nd reason I started this blog was to help stay connected to family members back in the states.  Today it is so much more that.
    I hope you enjoy our journey.

    Are you moving to Korea?  Do you have questions, concerns?  Are you freaking out?   Freak out no further -  click the button to ask a question.  I'll do my best to answer open and honestly.
    Moving to Korea?
