Italian Food Restaurant
Pyongyang, April 28 (KCNA) — There is a restaurant specializing in Italian dishes in Kwangbok Street, Pyongyang. Its main dishes are various kinds of pizza and spaghetti dishes including pizza margherita and spaghetti vongole bianco. It also serves famous Korean and foreign dishes. Manager of the restaurant Kim Sang Sun told KCNA: There is a moving story behind the appearance of this restaurant. General Secretary Kim Jong Il took care that a restaurant specializing in Italian dishes was opened, saying the Koreans should be let to taste world- famous dishes. He took necessary measures, learning that the restaurant found it a tough row to hoe, having no cook experienced in Italian dishes. Now our cooks are just as good as Italians in making Italian dishes. No wonder the Korean and foreign customers are satisfied with the famous dishes of the world served by our restaurant.

hey! if you are making some propaganda, make sure you do it RIGHT! those people acting on your video are weird looking like obviously coerced or simply you didnt give them time to rehearsed! you made them LOOK SO RETARDED! i should say your propaganda is OBVIOUSLY FAILED! hahahahhaha
@martinjom whats wrong with that? In Italy they serve the pizza on a large plate and give you a knife and fork.
After Iraq, I think we should liberate North Korea.
why do they mark the ages of the interviewees?

LOL WOW… great propaganda… A fake resturant peopled by the higher esholons familys. Ya i bet those meatball they will be serviving after a month withy be the blackmarket human meat that they are forced to have. you dont see any cow heards anyware in the country that normal folks can afford or are alowed to eat. WHAT A JOKE!! I will NEVER FORGET THE STARVING N KOREAN SOLDIERS I SAW AT THE DMZ.
Well I ate there last week and the pizza was incredible. All the lights were out when we arrived and they had to turn the lights on for us. One of the private areas was being used but the place was deserted. Three stars, love the atmosphere.
make one wrong move and *BOOM!* AK-47 bullet to the head
pizza spaghetti italia… it must be a big deal when a restaurant opens in that city.
funny to see how they handed out the food and the entire look of the place semed fake
its rare and somewhat unusual for such an isolated country to be opening its first pizzarea
is Pyongyang (City of nearly 3 million) so poor and terrible.. that they make a three minute program every time a restaurant opens? lmao. There are hundreds of italian restaurants some authentic some not in prosperous country cities
kcna rules, haha
It seems that this type Italian restaurant is new thing to local people.
But I would like to know that the price of foods are affordable or not to local people?
Importing is perfectly normal in an economy like NK’s too.
They are not given a chance to specialize, you can’t give everyone pasta by selling and cooperating with Pakistan and Iran on missile tech and that this is big news is more of a sign of their stagnant economy then anything else. Any where else a restaurant opening is no big news and it wouldn’t be the first of it’s kind, neither would it be better equipped then there best hospitals.
They have always been a country dependent on trade though, MarxIsDead.
Without the socialist market they wouldn’t had any technology at all much less a formally mechanized agriculture that has collapsed. They could very well build plants churning out pasta and whatever but of course the the ingredients would still be imported, as I’m sure the conditions for growing durum wheat is worse then in Sweden and as I pointed out in my first post they lack the know how and resources Sweden has.
Yeah that was the point and I’m well aware of NKs deficiencies, they don’t have enough electricity to irrigate the rice fields even but that’s because they are a collapsed economy witch has shrunk quite a bit. But I also made the point that the Swedish pasta produced here are from former soviet collectives i.e. none market based agriculture that was very productive and survived the change to market economy.
Americani, cinesi , coreani se volete vengo a casa vostra e vi cucino degli spaghetti che non avete mai assaggiato, altro che ristoranti italiani …
people??? they are the propaganda team! the whole interviews illustrates obviously scripted…
People who are eating cusine from other countries sometimes doesn’t know the proper way of eating. Asians does that sometimes.
The ingredients are imported so that the pizza will be authentic Italian
nuclear pasta?ahhaahhah
All the chefs in the kitchen dress and look like as if they’re cooking up some nuclear weapons– complete with masks and surgical cloths. Hahaha.
to this north korean who thumbed down my comment, FUCK YOU! you must be flaunting coz you have nuclear weapons being shown off by your dwarf leader, as you do provocations,you will witnsessed full press of our patience but if you think that would remain forever,you are fucking wrong! you will be charge with raining thousands of americans warheads if we loose that press,if you keep on your stubborness…conceited motherfuckers! propaganda sucks as well!
