In the heart of Buda Castle, Jamie Oliver’s Italian Budapest brings the warmth and charm of rustic Italian cooking to one of Hungary’s most historic settings. As Jamie Oliver’s first restaurant in Central Europe, it offers a vibrant and spacious atmosphere—ideal for family dinners, casual gatherings, or sunset drinks on the terrace overlooking Mátyás Church.

🍝 Authentic Italian Classics at Jamie Oliver’s Italian restaurant in Budapest

Every dish underscores Jamie’s passion for Italian food. Expect freshly made pasta—morning-made fresh dough shaped by hand—with favourites like Sicilian prawn linguine and tagliatelle Bolognese taking centre stage. Artisan pizzas are thin-crust perfection, complemented by a solid lineup of draft beers and Hungarian and Italian wines.

🥂 Lively and Welcoming Vibe

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the inviting interior with light, while the expansive terrace is a sought-after spot during warmer months. The bar’s “Thursday DJ nights” add a lively pulse to the dining experience.

🧀 Starters, Burgers & Desserts

The menu balances indulgence and freshness, from stracciatella bruschetta and soups to hearty mains like the JI Burger—a juicy beef patty, pancetta, aged cheddar and balsamic onions—served with fries or sweet potato wedges. Desserts such as tiramisu and creamy affogato provide a sweet Italian finale .

🎉 Events & Private Dining

With 40 Jamie-inspired recipes and a flexible layout, the venue caters effortlessly to private celebrations, business dinners, and group bookings in its dedicated event spaces.
