Mio Bar Di Guerriero Luciano In Bologna

06/04/2024: GREAT COFFEE ! Soon after we arrived at our Airbnb apartment in Bologna on Fri, Sept 29th my wife and I headed out to grab some cash from an ATM. Along the way we had a good look for potential dinner and breakfast places. Across from the ATM we noticed this impressive looking cafe. A quick look inside was enough to confirm it for our cappuccino spot the next morning. AND WE DID ! On Saturday morning we made the 10 minute walk over here for a light brekkie. A sweet cashier named Luna took our order for 2 x Double Shot Cappuccinos ( in their cute little cups ) and 2 x Ham & Cheese Croissants. We paid upfront and sat at a high community bench table at the rear of the cafe. Within a few short minutes our 2 Cappuccinos were placed on the espresso bar counter by Grazia the barista....plus 2 small glasses of Sparkling Water ( palate cleanser ). I had to tell Grazia we don't drink Sparkling Water ( very popular in Italy ). OKAY ! Grazia happily replaced them with small glasses of Still Water ( as they call it ). Our rich tasting cappuccinos tasted fabulous..hard to beat an invigorating coffee early in the morning. Shortly after our Ham & Cheese Croissants arrived and they tasted quite good. This is a pretty flash looking espresso bar / cafe with a huge outdoor dining area. I went for a walk to find the men's restroom...it was upstairs. WOW ! There was a beautiful dining room on the upper floor.....classic Italian style. I took a bunch of pics after using the restroom. Before we left I asked Luna the cashier about dining upstairs. Luna said they serve good pasta and more. When we expressed interest in good pasta dishes Luna quietly told us about her fav pasta restaurant...we hit it that evening and it was sensational ! On Sunday, Oct 1st my wife and I walked the short distance here for our morning coffees. We arrived around 7am and waited a minute or two for them to open. A cashier took our order for 2 x Double Shot Cappuccinos and a sweet pastry for my wife. We were asked if we wanted small glasses of Sparkling Water or Still Water ( to cleanse the palate )...we said still. Our Cappuccinos in cute little cups were placed on the espresso counter within a few minutes. Nothing like a rich tasting cappuccino to get your motor runnin' first thing in the morning. My wife enjoyed her sweet pastry with her invigorating cappuccino. This was the start of a very busy day for us....our last full day in Bologna. THIS WAS A GOOD FIND !

06/04/2024: Historic coffee, excellent products, high-level pastries and impeccable service! I love going there to be pampered by their coffees. But.... You MUST do something about those pigeons, they are becoming a problem!
