Nice food but we paid a bit too much for two main courses of pasta and one salad, just because it is situated in the Vaci utca .... I dont think we would go there again...... More

it doesn't worth to eat there,,,it is often crowded because of being in a central road and this can mislead you..pasta overboiled,soup untasty and dissapointing salad..waiters use their hands for the cheese and bread and they don't clean the table from one customer to another..and it isn't not cheap..if you eat there,you will regret it for sure..prefer "vapiano" for italian...

GOOD - The food is great - The wine list is rich and diverse - The staff is professional and helpful - Location: If you're hungry while walking in the Vaci Utca, it's really in the middle of it (you can try Anna Restaurant for its salads) BAD - It could be expensive for some: My wife and I paid...

I cannot agree with the bad reviews for this Retaurant (known as Cucina) in the popular pedestrianised Vaci Utca. The food was well cooked and tasty although the prices are albeit touristic.

This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel, and it sits on the main tourist drag. Though its menu looks appetizing, the food was subpar, the service was spotty, and the prices were on the unreasonable side. An overall bad value.
