7Ristorante Krizia
Opened in 1997 by the Lombardian owner-chef, Graziano Cattaneo, Krizia comes closest in Budapest to offering a traditional ristorante experience. The restaurant is located inside a snug below-ground space on a quiet street in Budapest's District 6, near the center. There are less than a dozen tables, all of them covered in white linen.
The menu features northern Italian fare such as lasagne, tortelloni, risotto, mushroom and cream-heavy pastas, and many meat and fish dishes, for example a delicious ossobuco with polenta. The wine list goes from Lambruscos to Brunellos, plenty in between, and one you can round out the meal with a Fernet or some other amaro. Mains are €13-20. Although less elaborate, Krizia serves a wallet-friendly lunch prix-fixe on weekdays.
