All my friends have been RAVING about this Mad For Garlic place, so I figured it was about time for us to take a field trip to check it out. On a recent Saturday night date with hubby, this is where we went. There are several locations here in Seoul, we chose to go to the Sadang restaurant in Pastel City. This location was super easy to get to from post. Go out the visitors gate (the one with the dog kennel), hop on the subway, take it to Sadang subway stop, exit 12, go to the 2nd floor (I think) and sha-bang- there it is right in front of your face!
Now, I love garlic and I love Italian food, so this combination sounded just wonderful to me! We started off with cheese fondue with roasted garlic – I know, not sounding so Italian anymore. Cheese fondue? Even though I enjoyed the cheese fondue with roasted garlic, it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, and Hubby agreed, leaving our introduction to the food was a bit wobbly. It did look pretty though.

For dinner we shared a bowl of mussels in a spicy white sauce, and a margarita pizza. The mussels were good & spicy, but nothing to write home about. The sauce on the pizza was a bit too sweet for my taste.
So, the question is, would I eat here again? Yes, if I were out and I happened upon a Mad For Garlic and I was hungry, I would eat there. But for good Italian food, I will just walk down the street to CasAntonio or La Travola in Iteawon.
