    I'm a regular here.  I HAVE TO SAY their CHEF'S SPECIAL, CHICKEN PICCATA, ASIAN SALAD AND THEIR PIZZAS ARE GOOD.

    What's the fuss? If you want Italian food, move on and dine at a 'real' Italian joint with pictures of Scarface and Bugsy on the walls. Our group did family style and shared the following dishes: seafood pasta, crab linguine, hawaiian style pizza, seafood jambalaya, mushroom ravioli, and calamari appetizer. The common theme across all the tried dishes was oily, with the exception of the pizza and calamari. The  seafood pasta and jambalaya had amples amount of seafood (e.g., clam, mussels, and scallops) and pasta was cooked appropriately, but we couldn't overlook the oiliness. The mushrooms in the ravioli tasted instant and out of a can. The calamari appetizer had a nice crispy batter and the hawaiian pizza was okay.

    If you happen to be in the area and crave pasta, then check it out. But then, if you are in the area, why would you want pasta with all delish Korean food around. Also, The Spoon is in the Madang plaza, so the parking can be a mess. It's not worth trouble.

    I chanced upon this Italian fusion restaurant on their soft opening night. Located in the courtyard under CGV on the same level as Daiso, the Spoon is a cute and clean spot that serves pasta, Pizza and risotto.

    The kimchi pilaf was a delicious cheesy rice dish with bacon that seemed like a souped up kimchi fried rice. The boyfriends Cajun jambalaya linguine tastes better than my seafood spaghetti. Both were tomato based red sauces although the seafood spaghetti is available with cream sauce as well. The jambalaya was more flavorful and even packed a very slight Cajun heat. I added Tabasco to my spaghetti for some more oomph like a true Korean. Each pasta came with a cute garlic bread shaped like a bowtie that left a little more garlic or butter to be desired.

    I'm rounding up from a 3.5 since it was pretty decent for a Korean Italian fusion place, and I would return if I was in the Plaza. Pricing was fair considering the portions, but I do wish it was a bit more creative or innovative. I believe they are a sister restaurant to the kid-friendly restaurant next door.

    I think this spot is definitely an underrated with really bad advertisement. I think if the owner spends a little more on advertising the restaurant, it will definitely get more customers after having people ACTUALLY try out the place. My absolute must-get item here is "The Spoon" pizza. It has sweet potato filled crust with California style pizza toppings. The pastas here are pretty good too and I really don't know why they have no customers here. I think everyone should give this place a try.

    Quite underrated place with little customers, but food is so good!! The foods come in large portions and are so worth my money  service is great too! The student that served me was so kind. Had me doubting how underrated this place is every bite I took. 5/5 stars totally recommend. The environment is also nice for dates and hangouts :)
