We ate in La Botte tonight for the second time in 4 days, as we only wanted something light. The bruschetta and pizzas were both tasty. On Friday last, after a long day's travelling, we left a tip, as the manager who delivered the bill...pointed out that we might like to 'leave something for the staff'. We would have done so anyway. However, tonight I noticed that the menu actually mentioned an automatic service charge - I've noticed this become very frequent in tourist destinations. When the manager came to collect our payment from the table, he again mentioned 'leaving something for the staff'. I pointed to the service charge, and said "Surely that is for the staff?" "No," came the answer, "that is a house charge and doesn't go to the staff." I was flabbergasted. I thought this kind of thing was now in the dark ages. So, basically price your meal, add 12.5%. Then tip. I feel dreadfully sorry for the young lads doing all the work, because I bet most customers assume they will get their share of that 12.5%. I made a point of calling one of the young waiters over and handing him a tip, and telling him it was for him and the other waiter. What a shabby practice, and should I ever be back in Budapest, will certainly not be eating here again.More

So, on a cold Dec night, we are very hungry and dont have a restaurant booked. We find the La Botte and thankfully they have a table for us. The ambience was great. a proper restaurant with tablecloths! Yes, I like table cloths! Service was...excellent and the food even better. I have spent a lot of time in Italy eating lots of pizzas but the one I had here was right up there with the best. This may have something to do with the traditional pizza oven they have. You see it when you walk in. Always a good sign that. I highly recommend this place.More

Very well prepared food and extremely nice service. Enough space for groups but also for couples a very nice location. The food was delicious, especially the risotto. The waiter and waitress was fast and extremely nice. 👍👍👍

We had pasta and pizza and it couldn't have been better! The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable.

We had a great meal here on our last night in Budapest. the restaurant is down stairs from street level, very traditional, beautiful decor. the food was great and the service was fab too. the only thing was there was bizarre music on, and it...was very loud. that would be all i would change. But great value for money and the pizza was amazing!More

We ordered a pizza quattro stagioni and a duck breasts with a beetroot risotto. The pizza was delicious, dough was freshly made for sure. The risotto was a bit watery (but not sticky like risotto should be) and duck breast was a bit overcooked (probably...just a minute too long on fire) hence it had a bit firmer, although not rubbery, texture but it wasn’t dry. Portion size is okay. It’s definitely one of those you-need-3-courses-to-full-up restaurants. All in all, I would recommend it and would go there again. Ps. We drank one 0,25L coca-cola and one 0,75L bottled water which we paid ~4.5€. The pizza was ~9.5€ and the duck was ~16€. In total: ~30€ which was a fair deal.More

Excellent food, drinks, desert and service. Definitely worth stopping by. I had the black spaghetti with seafood and tiramisu for desert.

The woman who served us was very rude.. fortunately a colleague of her saved the whole situation....

I know this resturant for several years. It is the first time I am entering it and it was realy good. The ministrone soup was excelent, pizza was amazing and my dish of angus steak with goose leaver was good also although I eat beter...in the past. We were a big family and we got a table imidiately, the service was excelent and the prices are realy fair. I am recomanding this resturant very much.More

We stopped at this restaurant on our way back from a walk to the Central Market Hall. It is half underground with brick arches and lots of charm. Waiters spoke excellent English. The menu had a good number of choices and the food was delicious....My husband had the special of steak strips and mushrooms over pasta and I had risotto. Some of the best we've had. We liked it so much, we went back the next day.More
