On a 5pm visit with her eldest daughter, the blogger ordered bolognese ragu pasta, gorgonzola pizza on pastry dough, and a green grape ade with a whole frozen shine muscat inside, then received house-blended herb salt as a parting gift on the way out. Bologna draws long waits, so a reservation or an early visit is the way to go. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00–17:00 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Parking**: 2 hours free at Hyeongseong Parking Building - **What we ordered**: Bolognese ragu pasta, gorgonzola pizza, green grape ade - **Seating**: From two-person tables to larger group seating *as written by the visitor on Sep 15, 2026* I went to Bologna, a great restaurant near Daejeon City Hall Station, with my eldest daughter Yuja.

I didn't want to wait, so I went late at 5pm. I'd recommend reserving ahead or going early 😉 ![Interior seating at Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-03-l8hwe-864.webp) ![Bologna interior with vintage framed art](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-04-krkrw-900.webp) ## What we ordered at Bologna - Bolognese ragu pasta - Gorgonzola pizza - Green grape ade ![Pasta and pizza set on the table at Bologna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-05-1omds-900.webp) ![Ciabatta bread served before the meal at Bologna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-06-1fv8t-900.webp) ![Pre-meal soup at Bologna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-07-1goe4-900.webp) ![Pre-meal bread and soup spread at Bologna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-08-ixodj-900.webp) ![Table setting at Bologna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-09-1crzj-900.webp) The pre-meal ciabatta bread and soup were delicious too ![Ciabatta bread and soup at Bologna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-10-1d2dz-900.webp) ## Bolognese ragu pasta Of everything we ordered, this was my favorite. Bolognese ragu pasta! ![A plate of bolognese ragu pasta at Bologna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-11-jlvlt-848.webp) They said the ragu sauce is simmered for 4 hours using the authentic Italian method. The noodles weren't regular spaghetti but flat pasta, so the sauce clung to it thickly and it was easy to eat. ![Flat pasta noodles coated in ragu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-12-w6xse-900.webp) I don't usually like tomato spaghetti, but this was genuinely delicious. The ragu sauce was rich and had real depth of flavor. The olive ciabatta that came with it was also great. After finishing the pasta, I piled the leftover ragu sauce onto the ciabatta... truly a happiness-inducing flavor ❤️ I couldn't bear to waste the sauce, so I scraped the plate clean. ![Olive ciabatta topped with ragu sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-13-1tmo4-900.webp) ![Eating the bolognese ragu pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-14-82kb0-900.webp) ## Gorgonzola pizza on pastry dough We also ordered the gorgonzola pizza. Gorgonzola is always a winner. ![Bologna's gorgonzola pizza with honey](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-15-o3u17-900.webp) ![A slice of gorgonzola pizza with honey drizzle](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-16-16qxy-900.webp) Dipped in honey, it's salty and sweet at once, and that sweet-salty combo kept me reaching for more. ![Cross-section of the pastry-dough gorgonzola pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-17-e54uv-900.webp) What made it even better was the pastry dough. It was packed with buttery flavor, giving it a totally different charm from a regular pizza dough. Savory and crispy — this one disappeared in no time too! ![A crispy slice of the pastry-dough pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-18-5qv1b-900.webp) ## A whole shine muscat in the green grape ade For drinks, we ordered the green grape ade. It had a whole frozen shine muscat grape inside, which was fun to look at, and the sweetness wasn't overpowering, so it was just right. Sipping something refreshing between bites of the rich pasta and pizza worked really well. ![Green grape ade with a frozen shine muscat grape inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-19-1natt-848.webp) ![Green grape ade alongside the meal spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-20-157ou-900.webp) ## The mood at this restaurant near Daejeon City Hall Station I really loved Bologna's atmosphere, not just the food. Between the vintage-feel framed art and the soft lighting, it felt like I'd briefly stepped abroad. Which is probably why I thought it would be especially great for a date. ![Bologna's interior with soft lighting](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-21-1iacr-900.webp) I think it would feel great with a glass of wine too, and since there's seating from tables for two up to larger group tables, it also seems like a good spot for gatherings or work dinners. ![Bologna's dining hall with two-person and group seating](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-22-1l02x-900.webp) There was also a nice small touch — the powder room had simple grooming items ready, like a Dyson styler and mouthwash. I didn't manage to get a photo, but it seemed like a pretty thoughtful service for people on dates. ## A house-blended herb salt gift on the way out When we finished eating and were leaving, they also gave us house-blended herb salt as a gift. Eating well and getting a little gift on top made for a happy ending. ![Herb salt gift from Bologna](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-23-1xbrm-900.webp) I also heard Bologna's gnocchi is excellent, but I didn't get to try it this time, which was a bit of a shame. Next time, I'm definitely trying the gnocchi! ![The table at Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date-24-14w2u-900.webp) Now that my eldest daughter Yuja and I have filled up on delicious food, on to the next stop of our date~ If you want great pasta and pizza with good atmosphere near Daejeon City Hall Station, I'd recommend Bologna. ## Where it is - Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch (볼로니아 대전둔산점) - 30 Dunsanjung-ro 46beon-gil, 1st floor, Unit 102, Seo-gu, Daejeon, South Korea - 대전광역시 서구 둔산중로46번길 30 1층 102호 - 36.3506809, 127.3886639 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B3%BC%EB%A1%9C%EB%8B%88%EC%95%84%20%EB%8C%80%EC%A0%84%EB%91%94%EC%82%B0%EC%A0%90/@36.3506809,127.3886639,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chungcheong-meal-porch/daejeon-bolonia-grape-ade-date/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
