To Find Peter Nowon Review 2026: Chic Pasta & Risotto
Discover To Find Peter in Nowon, Seoul—a trendy, budget-friendly Italian restaurant famous for its signature abalone cream risotto and stylish vibe.
Hey there, fellow foodies! It's Kkurin here :)
Today, I'm super excited to share my honest review of a spot I recently visited:
#ToFindPeterNowon
I have been an absolute fan of To Find Peter (2FP) ever since their first location opened in Jamsil a few years back.
With its incredibly reasonable prices, rich and deep flavors, and a stylish atmosphere perfect for any gathering, it quickly became my go-to spot.
I've tried many other casual Italian joints since then, but nothing quite matches the balanced vibe of To Find Peter. So when I had some errands to run in Nowon recently and spotted their branch, I didn't hesitate for a second before heading inside!

📍 To Find Peter Nowon
1F, 34 Sanggye-ro 1-gil, Nowon-gu, Seoul
The restaurant is located just a quick 5-minute walk (about 0.2 miles) from Nowon Station, Exit 9.
If you're familiar with the Nowon neighborhood, it's right on the first floor of the Seil Academy building!
1. The Interior Vibe
The restaurant was packed with diners when I arrived, so I couldn't snap any direct interior shots myself.
However, the signature charm of To Find Peter is its modern, artistic, and highly aesthetic interior design. Here are some official photos to give you an idea of the gorgeous layout!


Isn't it absolutely beautiful?
I ended up sitting in one of the window seats shown on the right. The large windows gave the space a wonderful, open feel, allowing me to enjoy the lively street view while still soaking in the cozy, intimate indoor ambiance.
2. Table Setting & Complimentary Bread
I think the sleek flatware and warm tabletop lighting really elevate the overall dining experience here.

Even the simplest details make you look forward to the meal, don't you think?

Right after ordering, they serve warm, fluffy dinner rolls alongside balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Even the smiley face made of balsamic is such a cute, thoughtful touch! This attention to detail is exactly why I keep coming back to 2FP.
3. Menu Recommendations & Honest Taste Test
Here is what we ordered for our feast:
Seafood Rosé Pasta
Abalone Cream Risotto
Beef Bulgogi Salad



To be honest, this specific trio is my absolute tried-and-true combination that I perfected back at the Jamsil branch.
The absolute star of the show and a must-order signature is the Abalone Cream Risotto. It's incredibly rich, savory, and packed with deep umami flavor!
I personally love rosé sauce, so I chose the Seafood Rosé Pasta without hesitation. However, since this place is exceptionally good at cream-based dishes, I highly recommend going with a cream pasta if you are a fan of rich, velvety Italian flavors!
4. Overall Verdict & Local Tips
Since this is the bustling Nowon area, parking can occasionally be a bit of a challenge. While the building does have a parking lot, it can fill up quickly during peak hours. If it's full, I recommend looking for nearby private parking garages to save yourself some time!
To Find Peter has been one of my favorite restaurant discoveries since 2023, and I highly recommend it!
I'm so glad they have expanded to so many locations now, because I used to find it quite a trek to go all the way to Jamsil just to satisfy my cravings.
With its fantastic atmosphere, affordable pricing, and top-tier taste, it's a crowd-pleaser that won't disappoint anyone you bring along. Make sure to add this spot to your Seoul food bucket list!
