Very nice mix of an eclectic store and a coffee shop/cafe. The store has some great items and is a lot of fun to wander through. The cafe has a limited menu, but it is all good. It is pretty busy, but the seats turned over quickly. Valet parking as with every place in Seoul. On our visit we set next to a famous Korean tv/movie star for about an hour. Looked like we were the only people who recognized him as everyone ignored him. (Or maybe he is not that famous). Very nice place for a coffee/drink after a day of shopping.

The best way to describe their food is "first-world disappointment". Minor bummer. It was all just kinda bland and blah, you know. More satisfying than a room-temperature beer, but not as good as some business-class airplane meals. We got the ravioli and a main that came wrapped in slices of eggplant. Made me wonder if maybe they forgot a thing or two while cooking. My favorite part of the food was the olive oil (I'm not being sarcastic here). It had such a tangy grassy aroma it was like you could feel the antioxidation about to happen to your body. Again, it was okay. Generally the ingredients seemed fresh and service was great.

A really nice space with artistic wall at the dining room great for photos. Food was really good, server was reliable and the food came out quite fast. We ordered lobster gnocchi, burrata and artichoke, and scallop with barley and truffle.What makes this place even better is the 2 floors of designers collection of lifestyle and fashion goods. Quite a decent number of cook books and foodies magazine are also on display for purchase.

airy, large place serving almost home food. just make sure they're not closed for a private event, a fear that always becomes a big turnoff everytime you want to come back.

Artsy setting & cozy ambience.10Corso Como is massive with a restaurant, gallery, boutique & book area.The original store in Italy is broken up amongst 3floors while this one just spans out everything

The food here is good. I believe most of their pastas are made in house and they are cooked well. I've tried the cacio e pepe and pasta al pomodoro. The cacio e pepe is served with bucatini (my favorite!), which allows for sauce to coat both the inside and outside of the pasta, and the balance of creaminess and spiciness here is done just right. The pasta al pomodoro - that simplest of Italian pastas - was also quite tasty. I find that it's generally a good sign if a restaurant is able to execute simple, basic dishes at the highest levels and 10 Corso Como has probably achieved that. The prices here though are just too damn high; I cannot justify paying close to $20 for cacio e pepe. And for that reason, this place gets 3 stars from me.

Best italian restaurant in downtown. Good value for money. Sad it is closed now during the winter. Hope it reopens soon.

Stopped in on a Monday night for a quick dinner after work. Enjoyed a mista salad and some bucatini pasta. The greens for the salad were very fresh and crisp. Other vegetables in the salad were very flavorful and the amount of dressing was perfect and nicely tossed into the mix.

Simply put this place doesn't need the frills to give me a trill. 10 Corso Como is a small place, offering some big flavors. Located on Fulton street in NYC, when you put in the address on the GPS it doesn't take you to the entrance (which can be confusing). So just know it's right in front of Big Gay Ice-cream. We started with the Insalata di Pomodoro. Which was cherry tomatoes on a bed of mascarpone with basil. This was the surprise hit of the night! The tomatoes were so fresh and flavorful, mixed with the mascarpone and it really pops. So refreshing and creamy, I couldn't stop popping them. My entree was the Pasta Cacio e Pepe, made with bucatini pasta. They added pecorino romano, black pepper. The noodle was cooked al dente and it was simple, but just so creamy & flavorful. The service was great and the ambiance very romantic! Sincerely, C FYI: The Pistachio Ice cream, the bomb!!

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The pasta was so good, the tomato salad was incredible, the gelato was insane and the cappuccino wasnt only delicious but it came in a really cool looking glass. When we were there it was not busy so we had really good service. Our waiter only had one other table. He was very nice, had some really good recommendations and everything came very promptly. The Insalata di Pomodoro was ridiculously good. The tomatoes were so fresh and juicy. I ordered the Bolognese and I wasn't disappointed. It was a traditional bolognese, not the creamy meat sauce variety. It was really really good. The veal was exceptional. My girlfriend got the Pasta Cacio e Pepe. It wasn't as good as the bolognese in my opinion but it was definitely tasty. For dessert we got gelato. Cookies and cream, vanilla and basil, and pistachio. The pistachio was not green like youd expect, it was brown and was insanely good. I don't typically like pistachio ice cream but this was so good. I had a cappuccino as well and like I said before the glass was the highlight. The waiter was really nice and gave us 2 shots of limoncello on the house. I really liked this place, little confusing to get to but worth the maze.
Limited menu but what they have is really delicious. Not the exceptionally good service.

I expected more. Service not New York way. Small portions and not a big menu of choose. Great location and sitting outside is very good.

We were strolling around and stumbled on 10 Corso Como. What a beautiful place. So many exquisite items and wonderful staff. Highly recommend!

Yesterday, we visited 10 Corso Como for the fourth time--the first three times were excellent for both food and service. Yesterday, was a big disappointment and I'd like to offer a few suggestions to improve this wonderful restaurant, in no particular order. 1. Don't wait until the customer asks for water--refill the glasses when you see them nearing empty. 2. Serve cold water, not room temperature. 3. When ice is asked for, don't bring 5 or 6 ice cubes in a scotch glass (without tongs); we each (4 of us) had to grab a cube with our hands. 4. When you spill water on the table, wipe it up--don't leave that for the customer to do. 5. When wine is ordered, ask what kind of wine is desired instead of turning around and showing up with 2 glasses of red. I still don't know what wine was served. 6. Make sure the pasta is cooked--al dente is fine but under-cooked is not--the linguini with clams was way under-cooked. And the clams were miniscule. 7. Don't wait for the customer to ask for bread initially or for refills--look at the table and if there's little or no bread, refill the plate. 8. Let the waiter serve the food, not the person who cleans the tables. The restaurant is of course magnificent and is worth going to just for the design of the place. But the service needs to be drastically improved and the menu needs to be expanded--3 antipasti, 5 primi (all pastas), and 3 panini does not a full-service restaurant make.

I'm sorry. It was just awful. The only reason this gets two stars is that they comp'ed both meals (I didn't expect them to do so. I waited to comment until we paid.) The pasta norma lacked both eggplant or cheese and the pasta was overcooked. The eggs on my florentine were raw - I could see through the whites - but I got cheese! And we waited forever to get the meals. Service people were nice but set up for failure given the food and the very long distance to the kitchen. Until the cook(s) change, this is a nice space for a drink only
