Trattoria Cardinale Budapest is an Italian restaurant in Budapest District VI. It is listed at Budapest, Andrássy út 2, 1061, one of the local businesses residents and visitors turn to.

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.

Hours can differ on public holidays and long weekends, so check before you go.

We had a late lunch here, as a family. The place is nice, with comfortable chairs and plenty of space between tables. Great services, with attention to details, openness to fulfil custom request and efficiency. We had several starters, then pasta and pizza dishes. As for starters - the bread choice for the bruschetta, is one of the best options I had in a recent years. In a pasta department - the variety and the quantity of sea food in a seafood pasta deserve 5 stars. The waiters were able to provide recommendations that corresponded with our taste and requests. Just to demonstrate the details level - when asked for Limoncello, not only the drink came cold, but also the shot (glass) itself was frozen. Highly recommended!

Best in Budapest. This restaurant has an amazing price-performance ratio. The food is absolutely delicious, and you get great quality for a very fair price. The ambiance is authentic, cozy, and very pleasant. The terrace area is beautiful and relaxing, and the inside of the restaurant is just as lovely and welcoming. What truly makes this place stand out is the service — honestly a 12 out of 10. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. Overall, everything was simply fantastic. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and would happily come back again.

Whenever we come to Budapest, we make sure to visit this restaurant. Every pasta dish is unbelievably delicious — we’ve tried each and every one of them. Later, we explored the chicken menu, and those dishes were just as amazing. Recently, we started trying the fish menu as well, and it’s absolutely incredible. On top of the food, the waiters are extremely professional, very friendly, approachable, and excellent at what they do. If you ever find yourself in Budapest, you absolutely must visit this restaurant. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😋🍷✅
