3+1 authentic Italian places in Budapest

Funzine.hu assembled a list of three of their favourite Italian places in Budapest in honour of the national day of the Italian cuisine (17 January). Their list is worth sharing, and even completing it with one extra nice Italian place. If you love the guilty pleasures of a big bowl of pasta or a hot and crispy slice of pizza (or five), then you need to check these four authentic places out.

If you are in a mood to have a real Mediterranean meal with a good glass of wine, then I would recommend checking the following places out.
