Dob Pizza
Dob makes a pie that's fluffy and floury - American-style. Choose as many toppings as you like, at no extra charge. [...]

Fausto's
Fausto's takes the prize as Budapest's highest-class Italian restaurant. Who else prepares lasagne with deer and ewe's cheese in wine sauce? Sink-into chairs and soft lighting make this a place to linger. Western gents in power suits fill the place in the afternoon, taking advantage [...]

Il Terzo Cerchio
This is a plain but comfortable cellar restaurant. The main attraction is the scrupulously authentic Italian cuisine. It serves a good selection of pasta dishes, as well as pizza and fish. Service is friendly and prompt. [...]

Some rave about Il Treno; we found the toppings delicious but the crust rather uninspired. [...]

Kis Italia
This demure and oft-overlooked cellar place has tasty food, excellent service and reasonable prices. One of the few places in town where you can beckon the staff merely by making eye contact. [...]

Krizia
Krizia is a celebration of Mediterranean joie de vivre. Elegance is balanced by hints of rusticity, from the terracotta pots to the overcrowded shelves of wine. A complimentary hors d'oeuvre makes its way to the table to tide you over until the main course arrives. Pasta dishes a [...]

Marcello
Marcello is best if you're the gregarious kind, because you may well end up sharing a table with a complete stranger. The stairway to this cellar restaurant is signposted 'Mind Your Head' - but only in English. Non-English-speakers are identifiable by their bruised scalps. Decent pas [...]

Marxim's
Is this a monument to a Soviet block past or a clever use of a small decorating budget? It’s up to you. Any trauma induced by sitting in booths separated by barbed wire and overlooked by Stalin era murals is hopefully offset by the large choice of pizzas, which intriguingly come with separate sauce [...]

Okay Italia
A long-time favourite of expats, Okay Italia serves up satisfying pasta and pizza. Its two locations sit just down the street from each other. Neither takes reservations, so expect to wait at peak times. [...]

Papageno
For Papageno to call itself 'gourmet' is a bit of a stretch. It's actually just above-average. The menu is tightly focused on a handful of dishes - a few pasta plates, plus goodies like chicken in marsala sauce and grilled salmon. Flocks of foreign businesspeople migrate here for lun [...]

Pink Cadillac
Having undergone a dramatic metamorphosis, Pink Cadillac, famed for its tasty Italian cuisine and tasteless 80’s décor, has quadrupled the size of its restaurant to meet the ever growing demand and updated the furnishings to reflect the current millennium. Thankfully, the menu has remained exactly the same! Free home delivery is also available. [...]

Pizza Hut
The pan pizza here is thick, like in the States. The unappealingly named Fitness Pizza is covered in vegetables. [...]

Pomo D'Oro
Pomo D'Oro
Decent restaurants in the Lipotváros neighbourhood are notoriously thin on the ground. One expection to the rule is Pomo D'Oro, the newest entry in the slightly-upper-crust Italian restraurant category. A suit-and-tie crowd dominates this place at lunch, partaking of properly prepared pastas a [...]

San Marzano (Pizza Express)
San Marzano (Pizza Express)
In keeping with its UK based mother company, famed for upgrading the pizza experience from working-class to middle-class status, this restaurant serves a tasty selection of pizza and pasta dishes in a dimly lit modern arty environment. And while other pizzerias labour under the mistaken impres [...]

Trattoria Toscana
An Italian experience so authentic it might cause you to sprout a vowel at the end of your name. The atmosphere is rustic, but upscale. The cuisine - billed as Tuscan - includes a substantial selection of fish and meat dishes. [...]

This tony restaurant, newly opened in a Baroque building near Castle Hill, has got something for everyone, from humble spaghetti bolognese to fancy fish dishes. The excitement of their newly opened restaurant is still palpable from the warm welcome given by the waitstaff. [...]
