Trattoria Pomo D’Oro
Author: admin | Category: Recommended for business lunch, Recommended for tourists, Restaurant review
In spite of the flags hanging above the entrance, Pomo d’Oro does not call any attention in the busy street of the Budapest banking district. From inside it has more character with lot of wood decoration, although it’s very dark at least during the day. But this is not something negative.
They’re proud to be the first to receive the plaque of patronage from the Italian Chef Association.
Review
Durint my sole visit to Pomo D’Oro the service crew was not bad: timing of foods was good although they did not pass my ice cube test (I like drinks with lot of ice so I always have to ask for it or for some extra and usually waiters simply forget about it). But this seems to be normal in Budapest because waiters in Budapest restaurants hardly ever do.
As usual in Italian restaurants in Budapest, starters are relatively expensive but the seafood carpaccio for instance is worth it: their octopus is really an exception in this price category.
Their tomato soup is incomparable to any other tomato soup I’ve ever had.
The main courses on the other hand are very good but not so outstanding. Their strive for good quality is visible, their materials are of good quality and after a single visit I can’t say anything negative about Pomo D’Oro. In my opinion it’s one of the 3 best Italian restaurants in Budapest.

Thanks for that! My father recently harvested her garden full of tomatoes before the winter really set in, and I found myself the owner of two or four buckets worth! Of course I couldnt eat them all like that, but I did find a website full of lots more tomato recipes at this site. A whole website dedicated the topic!! Crazy what you can find on the internetz nowadays!!
