About Preferita

A Preferita olasz étterem a VI. kerületben, a Paulay Ede utca 46. szám alatt található, a Belváros és az Opera közelében. A hely kínálatának középpontjában - ahogy az étterem szlogenje is utal rá - a friss tészta, a pizza és a prosecco áll, így elsősorban azoknak ajánlott, akik egy könnyed, mediterrán hangulatú olasz vacsorára vagy közös ebédre keresnek helyet a belvárosban.

Az étterem hétfőn és kedden zárva tart, szerdától vasárnapig pedig 12 és 22 óra között várja a vendégeket, így hétvégén is nyitva van - ez praktikus szempont lehet azoknak, akik szombaton vagy vasárnap szeretnének asztalt foglalni. A Paulay Ede utca a belváros szívében fekszik, ahol a legtöbb utcán fizetős várakozási övezet működik, ezért autóval érkezőknek érdemes eleve parkolóházat keresniük, vagy inkább a kiváló tömegközlekedési kapcsolatokat - a közeli M1-es metróvonalat és a környék villamos- és buszvonalait - igénybe venni.

A vendégek értékelései alapján az étterem kiemelkedően magas megítélés alatt áll, ami a konyha és a kiszolgálás színvonalát is jelzi. Mivel a leírás nem tartalmaz konkrét árakat vagy ételsort, érdemes előre felhívni az éttermet vagy ellenőrizni a honlapját a pontos kínálatért, illetve forgalmasabb időszakokban - péntek és szombat este - asztalt foglalni.

Everything about this restaurant was wonderful. As soon as we arrived, we were warmly greeted and seated. Our server was exceptional, friendly, and attentive. Her amazing attitude made our dinner a better experience. We ordered the Luca Brasi pizza and the spinach ravioli. The food was seasoned perfectly, and both were delicious. The dough on the pizza had great flavor and a great chew to it. It was some of the best pizza that I've had. Everything about our dinner was great. We loved this restaurant and hope to come back again to try some other dishes.

Had a long & tiring day, so was looking for a delicious, hearty meal and found it in Preferita! I had the homemade tagliatelle and honestly, it was so so yummy. It hit the spot, the tagliatelle was al dente and perfectly cooked, the sauce was well-seasoned with good flavour! You can really tell how much effort and love is put into making the pasta. Devoured everything and I will be back!

Had a very nice dinner at Preferita on a nice summer day. The lady serving us was very nice and attending. We had the ravioli and the diavola pizza. The bruschetta was so good that we forgot to take a picture :)

This was a great little find and a real hidden gem. We wished we could have eaten more as the bruschetta, the pizzas, and the tiramasu were all 5 stars! The service was friendly and genuine. If you're looking to get away from the touristy places and find some excellent food, you've found a winner!

Absolutely wonderful place. It caught my attention when I saw the 5* rating with more than 750 reviews. I now fully agree with that rating. The pizza I got was exceptional, best pizza in this country. Will definitely come back. What was trully exceptional with this place was the service, nice, friendly and when something unexpected happened they handled it with perfection
