INTO

INTO the heart of the city, but still on the finge where the drunk army boys prowl and first dates stroll, lies a quaint sanctuary in the form of an Italian restaurant. It is no bigger than a studio apartment that hosts 4 tables and a maximum of 12 people at one time.

The menu here is short and never constant as the entree and soup changes once a week. If you have a craving for lasagna, you better find another place or find out which week of the year when lasagna is served. The owner--a Korean who studied in both Italy and France--brought his culinary expertise to the palates of Daegu to compete with the hovels that serve up Kimchi anyway you can dream.

The food is simple, but made with utmost care on the two-element stove. Washed down with a glass of house red or white is a delicious repreive from spicy everything and waterdowned ale.
