Our Piazza

A table where there is always room for you.

Piazza Italia italian restaurant is a vibrant urban meeting point. We created our own little Italian piazza at Ferenciek tere, where good food, clinking glasses, and easygoing conversations fill the air.

Whether it’s a quick italian lunch with colleagues, unwinding after work on the terrace, or a long dinner with wine among friends — for us, shared time and Italian hospitality come first.

We strive to make every occasion unique: from specialties presented on an elegant rolling cart and aged parmesan freshly grated at your table, to spectacular desserts veiled in dry-ice mist, making your moments with us truly memorable.

“A friend from Southern Italy recommended this place—he had the best pizza of his life here and mentioned they came back four times during their 5-day trip because it was so delicious! We received lovely service; I asked for no ham on my pizza, but it was mistakenly added, so they made another one and offered it on the house. Very kind of them!”

“It was a delightful experience dining here. Benni, the bartender, was very kind, Bori took care of all my orders, and Dani kept an eye on all the guests, making sure everyone was looked after. That was very important to me; it was great to see every guest treated as equally important, so I knew I was in good hands. The pizza was tasty and high quality. I spent quite some time here, and when I stepped outside, they looked after my belongings. The restroom was clean, which matters to me and gave a great impression of the kitchen as well. A calm, welcoming vibe and great service. Highly recommend to everyone.”

“I’ve been here three times now, and every visit was a great experience. The food is delicious, but what I love most is the service. The servers keep refilling your wine, they are kind, and understanding. The live music adds so much to the atmosphere. The wines are great with a reasonably wide selection. The interior, furniture, and design are top-notch.”

I especially loved the shrimp pasta, served in a beautiful blue-striped bowl and cooked to perfection. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dinner in the heart of downtown. We will definitely be back.”
