This restaurant was recommended to me by a colleague, who had been raving about it for three whole years. Finally, I was able to try it out… and it exceeded all my expectations. Now, it is on the top of my list whenever I’m thinking of having a meal out!
As soon as you step inside, you’re transported from Hungary to Italy in the blink of an eye. The Italian music in the background and the running waiters behind the counter or on the floor… it's a very vibrant vibe.
And the food? It is very, very delicious authentic Italian food that won’t break the bank. My go-to is the Diavola pizza (spicy Italian salami), which is baked to perfection, and let’s not forget about the four cheese pasta - a true masterpiece. And if you are feeling adventurous, trust the chef’s recommendations for some Italian specials, and as the cherry on the top I truly encourage you to try the tiramisu. After visiting this place many times, I have never left it with anything less than satisfaction and enjoyment.
For a more enjoyable time, swing by for a late lunch when things are a bit calmer or if you prefer, you can always reserve a table ahead of time for an extra special experience. Either way, you'll find the staff to be super accommodating, making your visit an unforgettable dining experience.
