Tips from locals
One of the best italian ristorante in Budapest, they have little space so sometimes you need luck to get a table when you arrive.
Al Dente is one of those under-the-radar neighborhood restaurants in Budapest you hope others won't find out about so as to keep it all for yourself. The place is an osteria-type casual eatery serving Italian classics and regional specialties from Puglia (the chef is from Bari, the capital city of Puglia in southern Italy; you will note the Italian chatter wafting from the open kitchen through the dining room - always a good sign fo an Italian restaurant). Al Dente is located in a pretty and quiet side street flanked by high-ceilinged, pre-war buildings in Budapest's former Palace Quarter. Al Dente also works well for breakfast. They serve Italian morning pastries and good coffee.
