You know it's pretty Italian when the barman doesn't seem to speak a word of Hungarian. This delightful place on the South shore of Lake Balaton has the right feeling. The owner is continually circulating making sure things are running well and often escorts customers to the door when they decide to depart. When the waiters pass, they scan to see if anyone is in need of anything. When a pizza is out of the oven, a bell rings and the waits staff literally runs to get it to the table. When someone leaves, the entire staffs bellows "Arrivederci!" We came for a late lunch on a Tuesday and found the place quite busy. Within two minutes there was some freshly made crostini on the table. The menu covers a broad range including many vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. (The crust on the gluten free pizza is better than the regular crust!) I started with a salad of burrata (special ball form of mozzarella with a creamy interior) with cherry tomatoes and fresh greens. It was simple and delicious. I also sampled the tomato soup, typical of Hungarian Italian restaurants, which produce a slightly chunky tomatoes puree rather than the creamy basil flavoured bisque featured in many other places. I decided to try a pizza: walnuts and gorgonzola with added capers and mushrooms. The crust isn't exactly Napolitano. It was crispy like a cracker. There was more mozzarella than gorgonzola, but it was still delicious. For once someone toasted the walnuts before putting them on a pizza. Most places omit this step, thinking no doubt that the heat of the pizza oven will toast the dust. This is always a mistake; it doesn't. So that was a real flavour boost. The crust on my friend's gluten free pizza was better. (It is amazing how good these have gotten.) For dessert I decided to try the zuppa inglese. Now I am a great fan of zabaglione. Zuppa inglese has generous quantities of this sherried custard mixed with chunks of cake and, in this case, blobs of what looked like chocolate mousse. The whole thing was covered in grocery store, cocoa based chocolate sauce (!) and was garnished with canned, gassed up whipped cream (tsk, tsk!). I couldn't really taste the zabaglione for all the chocolate sauce. So this dessert needs work and a little more care. It really doesn't take that long to whip genuine cream, especially for this price. There were too many shortcuts. My friend's gluten free pear cake was good. And the coffee afterwards was first rate. Overall, it was a lovely lunch in the right atmosphere. There were some nice touches of technique and also several items that were wanting. I will certainly give this place another look the next time I am in the area.

Vistited ad-hoc without TA advice before. Had Balaton fish soup with innards, fried fish, fried chicken and a schnitzel (we were a family of four). Service was bilingual (german/hungarian) as was the menue. Food was very good, frying fat not rancid, which is not a given in Hungary. Altogether with tips we paid 30.000 HUF which translates to 50Euros which is a fair price for this type and quality of food.

A very good restaurant in the heart of Balatonfured. Fish plates are really fresh and tasty, wines are coming from the region a service is friendly. On top of these the place has lovely design, great atmosphere, and playing corner for kids. Highly recommended.
