Mercatino Ristorante Enoteca

A truly magical spot in the heart of Budapest! The atmosphere is wonderful, the design is stylish, and the food is absolutely delicious. I tried the goulash, which I loved, and the mussels for the main course were fantastic as well. Everything about this place was perfect — a solid five stars!

Absolutely amazing restaurant and highly recommend it. Food was amazing and service second to none. Seriously what an experience.. Adam, Fanni, and the manager Zsolt are exceptional, thank you so much to ye all. Mario

This place is 5 stars all around! Absolutely beautiful design, outstanding service from amazing staff ( every single one of the servers is fantastic : kind, attentive and professional) and delicious food. The sexy chicken is perfection! We even tried the dessert of the day : chocolate brownie with sour cherry sauce ( with a dash of ginger) and pumpkin mousse and this is probably one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. You’ll thank yourself for visiting this restaurant.:)

Most stunning Italian restaurant. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Food was amazing, I went for the bruschetta for starter and creamy black spaghetti king prawns for main. Would definitely visit again.

We had such a wonderful experience here! I ordered the seafood risotto and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had – perfectly cooked, creamy, and full of flavor. The panna cotta was just as impressive, silky and delicious. My wife had the pistachio cake and couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was – hands down the best she’s ever tried. On top of the great food, the service was fantastic. The waiters were professional, friendly, and fun, and their recommendations were spot on. It really made the evening special for us.

Just wow! A must when in Budapest, highly recommended. Food and service were outstanding. Wine, pasta and sizzling prawns 10/10.

From today, this place is my favorite. The tender veal steak and wine were absolutely fantastic. The pistachio cake left me completely speechless with its flavor. As I wrap up my long study-abroad journey in Hungary, I’ll treasure this night forever along with the Italian liqueur you shared with me. Thank you for making this evening so memorable.

I was craving for pasta and glad that i found this restaurant during my trip in Budapest. Everything in this dish is perfect, shrimps are well seasoned and the pasta is al dante😊 Sadly i went there by myself, i wish i could try more dishes! Reservation is recommended, but i was lucky to get a table by walk-in

Came in late after 10pm but they were still serving food. Small restaurant but feels spacious and welcoming atmosphere, also made possible by the service. They even gave a dessert suggestion that was not on the menu. Seafood risotto had a nice variety of different seafood and the pistachio cake and icecream was heaven. Nice portion sizes. A whole bottle of soda water for 1 person was a bit much though.

Cozy restaurant, beautiful christmas decorations. The food was truly amazing, one of the best places in Budapest to have dessert;) Service was very fast, staff super friendly. Will come back for sure!

What a delicious meal, and wonderful dinner experience. We decided to celebrate our anniversary here, and I’m so glad we did. Zsolt gave us wonderful recommendations and was happy to accommodate my vegetarian diet. 10/10 from beginning to end

We had an amazing lunch! Lovely service. Quality ingredients. We highly recommend the king prawn Caesar salad and the carbonara! Would definitely recommend. Gorgeous decor too in a relaxed atmosphere!

We had a very good dinner here. Seafood risotto is a must try! It tastes so good even the last bit. 😋

Super good Italian restaurant! Good food, friendly environment and the best restaurant manager Zsolt. If I come back to Budapest, I’ll definitely visit it again.

Had an amazing dinner here. We ordered the tomato soup, pasta and chicken. Everything was delicious 😋

Utterly Sublime. Everything to the food, the service and the wine was superb. The staff our incredibly welcoming and friendly, with their service being top class. This was an excellent choice to celebrate my partners 21st Birthday, and our 1 year anniversary!! Genuinely one of, if not, thee best evenings of my life. It is an absolute must if you are visiting Budapest, especially for couples looking for a romantic, and special dining experience.

A very nice restaurant! The atmosphere is elegant and the waiters were friendly and welcoming. The food was great and had a good gluten free options. Recommended !!

Fantastic, generous service with outstanding food. We had ‘the pasta’ and ‘sexy chicken’ which were both superb dishes with great quality. Would highly recommend if you’re fancying Italian in Budapest.

We absolutely loved this place! It was recommended by the concierge at our hotel, and another guide. We were able to make a last-minute reservation,and boy, we were rewarded with gracious service, amazing food, and great music (bonus!). The focaccia before dinner was served with a fragrant, grassy olive oil. My friend ordered the Baked Stuffed Eggplant that was filled with all sorts of delicious vegetables and topped with melted cheese. It was served piping hot. I thought I ended up with the best dish, though. It was 2 generous slices of Roasted Goose Breast with crispy skin and a full, regal taste, but not gamey or fatty, and cooked to perfection! It was served with the richest, most delicious polenta I have ever eaten. The whole thing came on a bed of chestnut puree. This was one of the best meals I have ever eaten! For dessert, we had Tiramisu and a White Chocolate Orange Mousse on a bed of Pistachio Cake and a scoop of Pistachio Gelato They were both fantastic! I would highly recommend that, if you find yourself in Budapest, you try to get there! Mercatino Restaurant for the win!

Such an amazing place in Budapest, felt like a real treat. Service was impeccable, food was delicious as was the wine. Definitely one to try, and we will be back on our next visit

One of the best restaurants in Budapest. Excellent food, top quality, and very attentive service. Highly recommended for both tourists and locals. If you want to eat well in Budapest, this is the place to go.

We had very good food really enjoyed our visit thanks to the wonderful staff and hospitality 💜✨

While on a walk yesterday, we stumbled upon this hidden gem and immediately booked a table. We were eager to discover what it had to offer—and it did not disappoint. The setting is absolutely beautiful, the staff warm and attentive, and the food simply exquisite. Every dish was a delight, and we’re still amazed by how divine everything tasted. Even the restroom felt like a curated space in a museum! We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be recommending this place to everyone—it's an experience not to be missed.

Every dish was prepared perfectly. Servers were very warm and friendly. The place is also beautiful (particularly the washroom)

Food was great, service perfect. Thomas the waiter and Zsolt were so much fun and very professional. They also knew to accommodate to vegetarian options. I will come back to this place.

We walked into the restaurant and immediately loved the ambiance. The staff greeted cordially and sat us down promptly. I would recommend a reservation if you come here they book out. Zsolt was our server and was very friendly and funny. He gave us great food and wine recommendations. The food was very delicious as well as desert. Next time we're in Budapest we're definitely coming back.

Amazing Italian food. The pizza was very thin and crispy. The risotto was a vegetarian option with green peas. The best dish was the black spaghetti with garlic and king prawns. Overall very satisfying.

Now there may be some bias as this was the capstone to a truly wonderful vacation... but what a capstone! Service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. The food was exceptional. I had the seafood risotto, and my wife the sweet potato gnocchi. We finished with the pistachio cake. Simply wonderful. 11/10 stars.

I had a delicious dinner here while traveling in Budapest. It was an Italian restaurant, and all the food was amazing. The mussel soup, in particular, was unforgettable. After taking a boat ride to see the night view, the soup warmed me up from the cold. The atmosphere was really great as well.

We had a fantastic time here for my husbands 40th birthday Food and drink was amazing Staff and atmosphere was fantastic Highly recommend Accommodated gluten free requirements as well

The manager was perfect. He found us a table for two in a minute and he was very kind and helpful with our order. He also suggested us the best dessert in town. Thank you again for your hospitality. ☺️

We had a lovely dinner here on our first night in the city. The black spaghetti and seafood risotto were both absolutely delicious! Flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. The restaurant itself is picture-perfect, with a fancy atmosphere that added to the overall experience. Service was impressively quick, too. We had made a reservation in advance, which I highly recommend, as the place fills up quickly.

Really nice place. Delicious and special food and The pistachio is a must try !!

We were in a Budapest for a few days and we had dinner twice at Mercatino. What a wonderful surprise we had, lovely staff, beautiful place and tasty cuisine. If you stay at the city, you must come here. Thanks a lot to the staff in Mercantino, we will be coming back for sure!

Charming place for a full inmersive Italian experience. Excellent service and really tasty food located in the very city center of Budapest

The service is perfect，everyone is super kind！This was the best Italian meal I had in Budapest

A warm and cozy restaurant. Friendly staff and excellent service. Delicious food. Would recommend 10/10.

Lovely experience! The food was absolutely delicious. The ambiance was beautiful and the service was above and beyond. This was a last minute find and we were pleasantly surprised. The seafood risotto was to die for. I will definite return next time I’m in Budapest.

The place is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The music isn’t too loud, making it ideal for conversation. The waiter wasn’t very enthusiastic, but overall, the staff was friendly. There was a black-haired gentleman who seemed more like a true hospitality professional—he joked with us, which was a nice touch. The food was generally not bad, though the pizza was a bit salty. The black pasta was deliciously creamy, and the shrimp were perfect. However, the dessert, which I was really looking forward to, turned out to be a disappointment. It looked stunning, but inside, it was just dry sponge cake with buttery cream. For the quality, I found it a bit overpriced, so I wouldn’t return. That said, one thing worth mentioning is the restroom—it was beautiful and clean, and they paid special attention to women, which is definitely a plus.
