Expert review of Fausto's
This is the best Italian restaurant in Budapest.
Fausto’s has had a consistent reputation for excellence since it opened in the 1990s, and is the place to linger over fine Italian fusion cuisine.
Food and drink:
The chef believes that cooking is an evolving art, and he focuses on continually reinterpreting and inventing dishes. As a consequence, the menu is unusual and interesting, featuring dishes like deer with pumpkin gnocchi, and red ravioli stuffed with duck breast and prune. It’s complemented by a long list of Italian and Hungarian wines.
Ambience:
It's sophisticated but comfortable.
Service:
The service is top drawer.
Location:
It's just off Andrássy út, a few minutes from the Budapest Opera House, St Stephen's Basilica and Deák Ferenc tér.
Price advice:
You could eat a three-course meal (without wine) for around 10,000 forints, but you could spend a few thousand forints more too. There are degustation menus: a three-course lunch for a very reasonable 5,000 forints and dinner for 14,000-18,000 forints.
Other useful branches:
There’s a cheaper, less formal sister restaurant called Fausto’s Osteria (1072 Budapest, Dohány u. 5; www.osteria.hu).
