Lunetta Bistrot In Bologna

08/11/2025: Excellent food and super service. A beautiful place for social principles too.

08/11/2025: First time dining there. Table for four, two couples. The restaurant has the distinction of being a social trattoria, nestled in the Villa Pini park on Via del Carpentiere, behind the Unipol skyscraper. Being Friday, November 7th, we dined inside due to the low temperatures, but there are plenty of tables outside, making it perfect for the warmer months. The atmosphere is rustic and clean, free of kitchen odors. A young man, Fabrizio, welcomed us and introduced us to the restaurant, introducing the new menu, full of interesting dishes. We opted for a small platter of cold cuts/cheeses with crescentine. Excellent! Soft, not very greasy, tasty, very good cold cuts, accompanied by friggione, which had been simmering for hours, excellent. While sampling the first courses, we ordered four different ones. Classic lasagna, excellent. Cacio e pepe tortelloni, crispy guanciale, fantastic! Roasted potato, pumpkin, and friggione ravioli, sweet for the onion, excellent. Gorgonzola gnocchi, creamy, excellent. For the main course, we didn't hold back. For two, we stuck to the classics for a test of the Bolognese cutlet. It passed, perfectly made, thank goodness, without the cream that's so common in restaurants these days, plentiful and excellent, served with baked potatoes. The knife-cut tartare, with a classic dressing, excellent, served on a bed of mixed salad. The tagliata, ordered medium rare (perfectly cooked), tender and tasty, served with sautéed mushrooms on the side. Desserts, only two. A cream ice cream, excellent, and a zuppa inglese, devoured. Toward the end of dinner, Federico, Fabrizio's colleague, showed up in the dining room and asked how the dinner went, walking around the tables. We confirmed the excellent dinner and the excellent service from the girl who accompanied us for the evening, our dishes. Absolutely reasonable, considering the quality, quantity, and price. Just under €39 per person, with two bottles of wine—a Prosecco and a Merlot—plus two complimentary coffees and liqueurs. We'll definitely be back. A place "just beyond" the ring road, surrounded by greenery, with ample parking. Well done! Everyone! From the dining room to the kitchen. I apologize if you don't have any photos, but between chatting and hunger, we forgot about it. See you next time.
