Restaurants in Hungary usually open from around 11:00 until about 22:00, while bars and ruin bars stay open much later from Thursday to Saturday. On weekdays many places serve a napi menü, a fixed-price lunch of soup and a main course, typically from 11:00 to 15:00. Book a table for Friday and Saturday evenings and public holidays. Many bills already include a service charge (usually 10–15%); if not, a tip of around 10% is customary but never compulsory. Many restaurants also accept the SZÉP card, the employer-funded leisure card. At an Italian restaurant it is worth asking whether the pasta is made in-house and what oven the pizzas are baked in. Book ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings.

Good ! I had a ceasar salad and a nduja pizza. Both dishes were good. Terrace in front of the restaurant.

The pizzas we bought, 4 cheese and capricosa, were oily. But the pizza crust was very good. Almost impossible to eat as dinner food as everything would slide off, but with a fork and knife, very yummy. We were outside, very comfortable weather, and the beers were a perfect accompiament. Good music in the background too!

The pizza was amazing, a little difficult to eat but very worth it. That is the Diavola pizza for context. They let you enjoy your email and service can be a little slow but it’s more time to enjoy time with friends. A lot of food leaving my belly full, cheese meat sauce and bread all tasted fresh and delicious and that no corners were cut. I would eat here again in a heart beat and highly recommend.

Such a beautiful little place! It’s so comfy and cute inside! The food was AMAZING!!! Super nice service and we got our food in like 15 min. We absolutely loved it!

Ok, a few things. First of all, our order arrived super fast. Having ordered gnocchi and pizza, there is NO way the food could have been fresh and arrived so quickly. Secondly, the pizza was luke warm. Don't recall ever in my life, I have not had a hot pizza arrive. Lastly, the gnocchi was rich and that (plus the beer), may have saved the meal. The server was very cordial. The best!
