as bone marrow on toast and veal stew with noodles. Two-course lunch menu 2450Ft, tast-

An
established fixture on the Budapest dining scene, this split-level trattoria also rates highly
among the city's Italian community. The wood-burning oven turns out excellent pizzas from
1800Ft, and the pastas and risottos (2500-5000Ft) are also exceptional, although if you're
only here once, seek out the charcoal grill (3000-4500Ft). A surprisingly varied selection of
wines rounds things off beautifully.
Daily noon-midnight.
