Dongwon Home Food Opens Second Branch of Italian Home-style Restaurant 'Portu7' at Hapjeong

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Dongwon Home Food announced on the 8th that it has newly opened the second branch of the Italian restaurant ‘Porto7’ in Hapjeong-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

This store is the second branch opened one month after the first ‘Porto7’ store in Yongsan I’Park Mall, which opened in December last year. Porto7 Hapjeong is located in Delight Square near Hapjeong Station. This place houses various dining franchises including a large bookstore and Dongwon Home Food’s premium salad cafe ‘Crispy Fresh’.

Porto7 Hapjeong features a spacious area of 42 pyeong with 64 seats and an interior that evokes the exotic atmosphere of Italy, making it popular not only among office workers but also as a weekend dining spot for families.

The name Porto7 combines the Italian word for harbor, ‘Porto,’ and the number ‘7,’ meaning 7 p.m., symbolizing a small harbor town restaurant offering warm evening meals. Porto7 is popular on various social networking services (SNS) such as Instagram as a cost-effective Italian home-style restaurant, with most menu items including pasta, pizza, and salads made with fresh seafood priced in the low 10,000 KRW range.

Porto7’s menu is made with fresh ingredients leveraging the strengths of Dongwon Group’s affiliates. It features carefully selected salmon from Dongwon Industry, the largest seafood company in Korea, and differentiated flavors using sauces from Dongwon Home Food’s Samjo Seltech Division, the top B2B seasoning food company in Korea. Signature dishes include the handmade Italian home-style ‘Truffle Cream Gnocchi’ and the ‘Pollack Roe & Gamtae Cream Risotto,’ which is full of ocean aroma using domestic gamtae seaweed.

A Dongwon Home Food official said, “We will provide customers with a unique gourmet experience through cost-effective Italian home-style menus and an exotic yet comfortable atmosphere.”
