Their Pizza ain’t half bad either. Check out the crust on this bad boy. The other dish we had was a prosciutto with bleu cheese. That dish wasn’t my favorite because the cheese was a bit too ripe. The artichoke hearts were a nice touch. Now the place I went to was the old Sortinos, not the new Villa Sortinos. You can check their website here.

    Warning: Sortini's (is it really "Sortini's"? I always thought it was 'Sortino's') uses chicken stock in their homemade marinara sauce. So NOT vegetarian friendly. I know, cause I asked, and they were honest. Which was nice. So, I can vouch for their veg friendly salads, but sadly I've never tried their pizza or pasta ;(

    dont worry, you are not missing much. I've eaten there once. and it will only be the once. the food is average at best. far better places around seoul
    Sortinos is more about image than food.
