M&M’s last hurray in Budapest was celebrated at this apparently truly Italian eatery. We had meaty and non-meaty appetizers but sadly our side vegetables were served before our meal and consumed rapidly. The main course – two kinds of fish, which were identified by our own Italian as “ugly and very tasty” and “big and flaky” – was devoured. We did make the waiter come and show us the ugly fish before it was cooked. Ugly indeed. Wine flowed and suspiciously whorish looking patrons celebrated something at the table next to ours. The Italian owner came to say hello but I was advised not to utter another word after hello. I was told that Italian hospitality of that particular specimen, despite its warmth, can be time consuming. The dinner was wonderful but bitter sweet as the M&M clan left the next morning.
