Yesterday evening around 7-7:30pm my girlfriend and I had dinner at your restaurant, and it was a huge disappointment, especially since we have been to Italy before and your menu promises an authentic Italian atmosphere and cuisine. The gnocchi and chicken were dry, the risotto was flavorless, and the carbonara tasted nothing like a real carbonara, so unfortunately, the food did not come close to the flavours we experienced in Italy. Considering the prices and the expectations set by the restaurant, this was an extremely disappointing experience.

Restaurant on a Kalvin square specialized on Italian cuisine. It has nice outdoor sitting area. We ordered Margherita pizza, pasta pomodoro, tiramisu and coffee, beer. Everything was great and delicious. Prices are OK (don’t know about prices in Budapest yet) and they do charge service fee(12%). Service was good. The only minor misunderstanding was when we ordered pepperoni as pizza topping they did some pepper. But it’s a minor issue. Would recommend the place.

Excellent Italian foods here and very good service. We enjoyed the mushroom soup, vegetarian pizza with eggplants and especially the greatest tiramisu! Coffee a little bit not strong but still ok. Highly recommend….

Very bad experience. At the entrance you can hear „you should wait 40 minutes” instead of „welcome”. 3/4 empty places.. Calzone very poor, spaghetti aglio &olio too spicy with soaked in heavily burnt garlic. A bored waitress yawning loudly, signaling customers to leave quickly. A place not to be recommended.
