A married couple visited at 6pm and ate the gnocchi set (₩43,000) course by course — starter soup and bread, seasonal salad, clam vongole pasta and truffle cream gnocchi — and got parking support at the Hyeongseong parking lot right beside the restaurant. Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch suits a Dunsan-dong date or family dinner when you want chewy gnocchi and atmosphere in one place. ## Good to know - **Address**: 30 Dunsanjung-ro 46beon-gil, 1st Floor, Unit 102, Seo-gu, Daejeon - **Hours**: 11:00 - 21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00 - 17:00 - **Last order**: 20:30 - **Parking**: Available — parking support at Hyeongseong parking lot right next to the restaurant - **What we ordered**: Gnocchi set ₩43,000 (starter soup, bread, seasonal salad, choice of one pasta, truffle cream gnocchi) - **Pasta chosen**: Clam vongole pasta - **Also good to know**: Baby chairs available, wine list - **Price reference**: ₩43,000 ≈ $32 (2026-09-15) *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* My husband and I wanted a nice-atmosphere restaurant for a dinner date, so we went to Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch! ![Main photo from our visit to Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-01-14jkn-1200.webp) It's pretty close to Daejeon City Hall Station too, so I want to recommend it to anyone looking for good restaurants near Daejeon City Hall Station. Visiting in person, the food was delicious, but what I loved most was the atmosphere — it felt like stepping into a tiny restaurant somewhere in Europe :) ## Where is Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch? Hours and parking Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch is a Western-style restaurant at 30 Dunsanjung-ro 46beon-gil, Seo-gu, Daejeon. Hours are 11:00 - 21:30, break time is 15:00 - 17:00, last order is 20:30, and parking is available. For parking, using the Hyeongseong parking lot right next to the restaurant gets you parking support, which was convenient. Parking in Dunsan-dong can sometimes be a hassle, so having parking support was a nice bonus! ## A European-feeling dining room, fully booked by 6pm ![European-style interior of Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-02-z6kzz-m-900.webp) ![Inside Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-03-1uc04-900.webp) ![Seating area with an exotic feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-04-6cx3u-900.webp) We wanted to avoid the evening peak, so we arrived a bit early, around 6pm. At first only about 4 tables were occupied, but as we ate, more and more guests kept coming in, and before we knew it, the place was completely full. A waiting line even formed eventually — clearly a popular spot. ![The restaurant filling up with guests around 6pm](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-05-1croe-900.webp) If you'd rather eat at a more relaxed pace, it might be worth arriving a bit earlier than dinnertime. More than anything, I loved the warm, exotic atmosphere the moment we stepped in — like a little restaurant tucked into a European alleyway. ![Warm atmosphere like a restaurant in a European alley](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-06-z2vuc-900.webp) ![Table setting fit for a Dunsan-dong date](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-07-1jwt7-900.webp) So this feels less like a place you just go to eat, and more like a great spot for a Dunsan-dong date where you enjoy the atmosphere along with the food. ## What comes in the ₩43,000 gnocchi set? ![Menu at Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-08-1xt4b-900.webp) ![Menu listing the gnocchi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-09-c9bnp-m-900.webp) ![Looking over the menu before ordering the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-10-711bi-900.webp) ![Set menu showing pasta options to choose from](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-11-a22fe-900.webp) After some back and forth over the menu, we ordered the gnocchi set (₩43,000). The gnocchi set includes - Soup - Bread - Seasonal salad - Choice of one pasta - Truffle cream gnocchi — that's the full lineup. For two people, the set was great since we could try several dishes at once! Among the pasta options, we went with the clam vongole pasta. ## Starter bread, soup and the seasonal salad ![Bread and soup served first](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-12-16ft4-900.webp) ![Soup served warm](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-13-ayegl-900.webp) Before the mains, warm bread and soup arrived first. ![Cross-section of the chewy-centered bread](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-14-1c71e-900.webp) The bread was plain on the outside but chewy inside, and paired really well with the warm soup — delicious :) ![Seasonal salad with tomato, mango and cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-15-4ehb4-900.webp) The seasonal salad had fresh vegetables, tomato, mango and cheese. The refreshing flavor cleaned my palate nicely before the gnocchi and pasta that followed! ## How did the truffle cream gnocchi taste? And the dish I was most looking forward to — the truffle cream gnocchi! Definitely earns the title of a gnocchi restaurant worth visiting! ![Chewy-textured truffle cream gnocchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-16-wkuls-900.webp) The gnocchi had a nice chewy texture that went perfectly with the rich, smooth truffle cream sauce. The sauce was creamy and savory — especially good for someone like me who loves gnocchi. If you're hunting for good gnocchi in Dunsan-dong, I'd recommend the gnocchi set. ## Choosing clam vongole as the set pasta ![The clam vongole pasta chosen from the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-17-1ryb1-900.webp) The clam vongole pasta we chose was delicious too. ![Close-up of vongole pasta topped with clams](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-18-1ab73-900.webp) ![Gnocchi and vongole pasta side by side on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-19-8ete0-900.webp) The clean, signature vongole flavor had a slight kick of spice, so it never felt heavy. If the truffle cream gnocchi was soft and savory, the vongole was clean and mildly spicy — alternating between the two worked really well :) If you order the gnocchi set, I'd say pairing it with the vongole is a great match. ## Date night or family dinner: wine and baby chairs ![Wine available to pair with the Western dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-20-1kb65-900.webp) ![Restaurant space with a dinner-date mood](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-21-1jcbb-900.webp) Bologna also has wine that pairs well with the Western-style dishes, so it seemed like a great spot for an evening date. With the European atmosphere on top, enjoying a glass of wine with the meal felt really lovely! They also had baby chairs ready, so families visiting with children should be able to dine comfortably too. Beyond dates, I think it's also a solid option for anyone looking for a family dinner spot in Dunsan-dong. ## A cute herb salt to finish the meal ![Cute herb salt gifted after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-22-10o43-900.webp) As we finished our meal and were about to leave, a staff member came over to thank us for visiting and gave us two cute little herb salts. A small gift, but that kind of thoughtful touch made the whole meal end on a great note. ![Table after finishing the meal at Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-23-1f0zm-900.webp) Great food, great atmosphere — that's Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch. Especially seeing how the place filled up and a waiting line formed as time passed during our visit, I get why it's such a popular restaurant in Dunsan-dong and near Daejeon City Hall Station! ![Exterior view of Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner/bologna-daejeon-dunsan-gnocchi-set-dinner-24-1yh9a-900.webp) If you're looking for a nice-atmosphere restaurant in Daejeon, or somewhere to go on a date in Dunsan-dong, I'd recommend Bologna Daejeon Dunsan Branch!
