Pasta. Budapest
Great pasta on the street
After the success of ’Leves.’ these guys made a good decision: they made ’Pasta.’ one step away from ’Leves.’ The success was guaranteed. They make delicious pasta and that’s enough. They put it in a box, so you can take it away, but I recommend you sit down in front of the place or in the nearby Károlyi kert.
When I need some carbohydrates, I go there. They make two or three types every day. They're nice people who make delicious pasta with love - and they know how to do it. They are so good, they had to open some new places with the same dishes (but the first one's the best...)
For me, this place was the first real sign that the Hungarian gastro revolution is real: we can eat good food and street food that's not like junk food. They make it like they'd make it for themselves ;)
