If you’ve ever been torn between Korean and Italian food, Osteria Da Su is here to settle that conundrum. The fusion restaurant will be opening its doors on 28 October 2026 along Telok Ayer Street.

Born in Korea, Chef Suji Park spent 20 years honing her culinary expertise in both Italy and Korea, mastering their cuisines. Inspired by Italian culture, she designed the restaurant to be casual and accessible to all with its affordable dishes and down-to-earth atmosphere.

The menu currently consists of 25 items that highlight Italian cooking techniques while featuring Korean flavours and ingredients. Starting with appetisers, highlights include the Zucchini Bruschetta ($12++), a classic Italian dish with zucchini inspired by Korean banchan or side dishes. There’s also Insalata Condiglione ($18++), a traditional Italian vegetable salad with a Korean soy-marinated egg.

On to the mains, the Tortelli Di Galbi Jim ($30++) swaps out the classic meat filling of a traditional Italian tortelli with Korean braised pork, while the Farfalle All’Amatriciana ($24++) incorporates gochujang and bulgogi into the pasta sauce.

The chef’s pick, however, is the Spaghetti Alle Vongole ($28++), which is said to best showcase the Korean-Italian concept with the addition of asari clams, Korean parsley and more.

Finally, you can expect desserts such as a Salame Di Cioccolato ($10++), inspired by Chef Suji’s Italian neighbours, and a Dalgona Tiramisu ($14++). If dalgona sounds familiar, that’s because the traditional Korean candy was featured in the Netflix hit series, Squid Game.

The interior stays on theme, blending the minimalist aesthetic of contemporary Korean design with the warm tones of a classic Italian osteria.
