    This is an all-you-can-eat restaurant but in a reserved way. Usually, in this kind of place (at least in North America), you’d find lots of food and fill your plate with lots of stuff. Here, it’s different. It seems that they don’t want your eyes to get bigger than your stomach. They have displays of salads, soups, desserts, but without so many options and smaller portions. Another section of the restaurant is dedicated to pastas, meat, and pizzas. Here you order what you want, they prepare it and the waiter or waitress brings it to your table. The plates are beautifully prepared, but the quantity is surprisingly small. But in the end, you realize you eat well without going overboard as one usually would in this type of restaurant. Also, this is good because there is less waste for them. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They spoke English. You have the option of à la carte or the buffet.

    I would have definitely given them a 5 star if their staff was a bit friendly, we went at 6pm for dinner and the place was half empty and we didn’t have a reservation or anything, we read the review on Google and accordingly we went, we were seated in the worst possible table and when I asked to move to a better one, we were told all of them are reserved, there was about 25 empty tables from 50 as the place is huge, which didn’t make any sense to me, apparently this place has a all you can option and the bigger section was for this offer, anyways, we sat and ordered and I have to say the food was really nice with the exception of the spicy garlic spaghetti which was not very well cooked and very very spicy for Italian food. Both soups were really nice, the tomato and cream of mushroom, the chicken Melanaisse was amazing and the tortellini cream spinach was definetly a must try. Overall I would definetly recommend to visit the place if you are in Budapest; but book a table to be seated in a nicer place.

    First of all very very very friendly staff! :) had the pleasure of dining at this Italian restaurant, and it was an absolute delight! The authentic flavors transported me to Italy. From the perfectly cooked pasta to the mouthwatering pizzas, every dish was a culinary masterpiece. The attentive service and cozy ambiance added to the overall wonderful experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to all Italian food enthusiasts. You won't be disappointed! ♥️♥️

    Most people know Ape and Regina as it has a really good all you can eat menu, that’s excellent if you’re hungry. What’s not so well advertised is the really good daily menu that’s available weekdays between 12 and 15:00. It is excellent value, with a few choices of starters and main courses. You can order a well made pizza and pasta as well as items from the grill. It really is very good food, with friendly efficient service and a spacious airy dining room, Ape and Regina is well worth a visit.

    Very nice place and interesting interior design with a lot of Italian pictures on the walls. The food taste and quality was okay. Nothing special. Of course being Italian makes me very picky. That’s only cause I’m used to high standards. Thanks to my country 😅 I took the lemonade, and I wasn’t a big fan of it. It was really tasting like water with a lemon squeezed in it. Anyway, the service was quite basic, and we wait around 50 min before to get our dishes. I was literally starving. And there was not the possibility to pay separately.

    The have order menu and buffet all you can eat. They are separated in different sections. The buffet includes free beer, but only when they serve your table. Only half the food taste good. And a lot of plates are "cosmetically" nice, but just weird (a small tomatoe with a small piece of cheese on and entire plate. One bite per plate). Buffet gives you 2 hours to chill. Waiters are very nice. Reservations are recommended for the buffet section.

    Delicious buffet for Italian food. you can choose a salad, soup, and desserts on the bar, pizza, pasta and grill meat or seafood can be ordered. All you can eat for a fixed price. We came on Sunday, 7500ft for an adult and 3500 for kids 6-12 years old. Pizza and pasta are very nice and prepared very quickly. Shiramp was fresh and great, I ate some frog legs as I am a fan of it!

    My buffet lunch was absolutely exceptional, both in the quality of the food, and the excellent professional service. The staff there is what you would expect to find at a Michelin star restaurant. The price includes a wide selection of beverages, both alcoholic, and other. They have just a few items in chafing dishes, but the rest of it is freshly prepared and brought to you. it was nice that they were happy to do small portions so I could taste a variety of items on the menu. Not only is this the best Italian restaurant I’ve tried in Budapest, it’s one of the best Buffay meals I’ve had anywhere around the world. They obviously use quality ingredients and try to stay with authentic Italian preparations. Be sure to make reservations as they have understandably become very popular.

    Italian buffet and Ala cart restaurant, central location and friendly place. Good quality ham, salami and cold cut plates, salad bar is very good. The best is pasta and pizza home-made. Drinks are average but reasonable. I love it if the menu can be variable weekly so I will come every week. Should provide Italian wines too.

    Had an argument on arrival as 5 adults wanted the buffet, but we wanted to order for 3 kids à la carte (normally kids do not eat buffets). The management refused. Eventually this was resolved by having the kids sitting on another table and billed separately. Food buffet is rich, from salads to pastas, pizzas, 3 soups, grills, hot dishes and dessert. It includes drinks as well. There was no cool atmosphere in the 2 times we visited.

    You never know what to expect from an "all you can eat" restaurant. Usually, either the food quality, presentation, or service suffers. Nothing could be further from the truth at Ape Regina. Each item my dining companions and I enjoyed was well presented and quite tasty. There is something for everyone on this menu from carnivores to vegetarians. I highly recommend a visit.

    You can enjoy all you can eat service for three hours. You can eat everything and drink everything as much as you want. The good point is that waiters and waitresses serve beverages and some foods (meats, pasta and pizza) to your table. The price is only 7000 HUF. So amazing quality!

    The place was good last year but the today experience was horrible. We had a small rock in the salad, they just apologized and that's all. The quality of the food was just bad. We have plenty of better places if you want some good Italian food.

    (Translated by Google) We went to a la carte dinner, I’ve never eaten such a delicious carbonara in my life, even though I’ve tried it in quite a few places. The atmosphere and quality of service are also excellent. Great place. (Original) A la carte vacsorára mentünk, soha életemben nem ettem ilyen finom carbonara-t, pedig jó sok helyen próbálkoztam már. A hangulat és a kiszolgálás minősége is kiváló. Nagyszerű hely.

    (Translated by Google) Pros: - The restaurant is well decorated and welcoming. - The waiters were kind and helpful. - The Italian appetizer was noteworthy: they used real buffalo mozzarella, excellent raw ham and well-seasoned bruschetta! - The pizza was definitely better than I expected. Versus: - The roast duck on a bed of mashed potatoes was nothing special. - The tiramisu, nice to look at but far from good, we have half of it left. - The map of Italy on the ceiling is wrong as well as all the translations on the menu and there is no one in Italian, neither chefs nor waiters. - The prices are high considering everything, and the 12% tip is already included in the receipt. (Original) Pro: - Il ristorante è ben arredato e accogliente. - I camerieri sono stati gentili e disponibili. - L’antipasto italiano è stato degno di nota: hanno usato una vera mozzarella di bufala, ottimo crudo e bruschette ben condite! - La pizza era decisamente meglio di quanto mi aspettassi. Contro: - L’anatra arrosto su letto di purè di patate non era niente di speciale. - Il tiramisù, bello da vedere ma tutt’altro che buono, ne abbiamo lasciato metà. - La piantina d’Italia sul soffitto è sbagliata così come tutte le traduzioni sul menù e di italiano non c’è nessuno, ne chef ne camerieri. - I prezzi sono alti considerando il tutto, e nello scontrino è gia inclusa la mancia del 12%.

    We came upon this place by accident, as we were looking for an outdoor pizza place after a full day at Margaret Island. We really lucked out and highly recommend this restaurant! Our server was top notch! He was extremely attentive and helpful. We sat outside on the terrace. It was a little chilly as we were in the shade. Our server brought out cozy blankets for each of us. Our server was patient as we asked questions about the menu items. We ordered three pizzas, which were more than enough for our group of five. The thin crust pizzas were amazing! Very tasty and the crust was just right. For drinks, we had apple juice, peach juice, Fanta (pop), and still mineral water. All the beverages were nice and cold. The mineral water was exceptional...we all commented on how smooth it was! One of us also had a latte, which was beautifully served and tasted wonderful. Overall a fantastic experience!

    Very tasty Italian food. I have never eaten a better tasting tomato cream. Other than that the pasta was tasty, aglio olio with shrimp, for people who like spicy dishes. The wine was good, even the restaurant itself was outstanding!

    AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE 🥰 The place is super well decorated, with an amazing painting on the ceiling. The service was incredible, the workers are super nice, smiley and attentive, which do not happen a lot in Hungary ro be honest. The food was amazingly tasty, and a big amount and for a super affordable price. They have also the All you Can Eat menu that is super appellative, and for a really good price, but we were full. The place was also SUPER LGBT 🏳️‍🌈 friendly, so feel free to go there and feel comfortable no matter who you are or with who you are. For sure a place that I'll recomend to everyone and for sure will return if I'm back to Budapest 🥰

    We went for our last day to eat fancy. We were with 8, and 7 out of 8 found it good. They had the pasta and it was good. But then there is me who got food poisoned by the chicken in my calzone. I had to puke all night long and on the taxi and even the airplane. Worst experience of my life. The waiter we had with the tattoos wasn’t all that friendly too.It looked like he wanted us to leave as soon as possible. However the man with hair in gel was very friendly. Overal would not recommend the chicken and this place. Reply: I went to the doctor and he confirmed it too so there is no need to lie. I ate the same things my friend ate the whole day. I don’t drink alcohol and i became unwell after eating your food. Thanks for the wishes.

    Good Italian restaurant. Yes, it’s true that they are in no hurry to take your order. But the pasta is great and worth it. Prices are a little above average, but again - you won't be disappointed. The location is excellent, this place is suitable for both lunch and a leisurely dinner. However, it closes on Thursdays at 23:00

    We had a delightful experience at an Ape Regina Italian restaurant that was even better than the ones we tried in Rome! The menu allowed us to choose our sauce and pasta, which made it enjoyable to mix and match our dishes. The flavours were authentic and true to Italy, and the charming interior decor could transport anyone to Italy. We highly recommend Ape Regina to anyone visiting Budapest!🙂

  • 4/5 Ahmed E. 5 years ago on Google
    Excellent food ,very friendly staff, has wifi inside, but the inly issue is that the à la carte area is much smaller while the "all you can eat" zone is the bigger one with better tables. So if you just want the set menu food, you'll have to be in the smaller area. I ordered duck steak with white rice and grilled vegetables which delicious, also the rocket salad was very good

  • 4/5 Mary C. 6 years ago on Google
    The service is EXCELLENT and the "all you can eat buffet" is worth it (15 euros/February 2018). Especially the pasta and grill options. Dessert options were very simple (I only tried their pannacotta). Their stuffed peppers are delicious. Also their choices for Hungarian wines are perfect. On the negative side: -Pizza tasted horrible: tomato sauce was ghastly and the bread was doughy. -You can only order 8 pieces from the grill. It's definitely worth a visit.

    Incredible - all you can eat and drink is usually a bit hit or miss but the food here is stunning, some of the best I've had in the world, you will not get better pizza or pasta outside of Italy, staff were fantastic and all the food is just next level delicious. If you are in Hungary this place is an absolute must, believe me.

It’s great that they only make small portions, so you might not be wasting as much as you normally would at an all you can eat restaurant. We were very satisfied, we recommend it to everyone. :) (Original) All you can eat kiszolgálást választottuk, a párommal minden ételtípust megkóstoltunk, nem a szokásos előre elkészített melegített ételek, minden frissen készül.

    Very nice Italian restaurant in Budapest. Menu had a verity of dishes from salads, pastas and even fresh oven made pizzas. We enjoyed having lunch. I took the minestrone soup and pasta with tomato sauce. Both dishes was tasty

    It is a really great place. We went there after a wedding. The food was really good: Grill meat, cheese, seafood, büfé everything in all you can eat for 2 hours. My partner is a vegan, as they don't have exactly announced vegan food but the tomato soup and vegetables, or without cheese you can order pizza and stuff. Our waiter was really helpful and kind. We had a great time 😁

    With a group of 5 we ate here two times. The food was good, only the portions were sometimes a little bit small. The wine and service was fine, except from one time. We ordered a bottle of red wine and they put it (already opened) on the table. The bottle even looked like it was being abused by a 4 year old with a knife… and the worst thing was that there were pieces of cork ‘swimming’ in the bottle. Very unprofessional and a shame for an italian restaurant. When we said something about it, the bottle was taken and later (not completely) filtered returned in a carafe, unacceptable. The second time we were given a new bottle which was properly served, thanks to that employee.

    We had lunch there today and the food was absolutely delicious, I mean every single one we tried from all you can eat menu! Maybe if I was to be picky, we didn't quite like the mini burger, but this doesn't make it any less than 5 stars! Service was also outstanding with really friendly and helpful staff. It's a bit pricey for Budapest, but certainly worth a visit.

    we went here to celebrate a birthday and enjoy a good meal... they have an all you can eat option that is very pricy (9K HUF on weekends)... which is not very convenient, if you want gluten free options they charge extra... and they already charge you a lot for the access... the food was fine, but not great, the service also... at least the all you can drink options were good

    Great place! Amazing T-bone steak and fantastic burrata. The personnel is nice, speaks English, very sweet and smiley. Definitely a place to have dinner at in Budapest.

    It's the first time I came here, I tried all you can eat and drink, I think it's a good price for the food and drink quality and service, most of the waiters are nice, and the ambient as well. We will repeat :)

    The restaurant has a beautiful design and offers a wide variety of Italian dishes. I ate a plate of appetizers and pasta for the second plate. Both were tasty and I think the price was right. The staff was nice and understanding. You never go wrong with an Italian restaurant, I recommend it. I choose this restaurant based on reviews.

    A must This restaurant is beautiful. Myself and my daughter Amy visited twice during our four day trip as it was that good. Agoston was courteous and helpful and he made our experience amazing which is why we returned for a second time. Thank you to the chef too and all of the lovely staff. Blessings from the UK . We think you are amazing XX ❤️

    One waiter was very rude, didn’t smile once and had no manners. The other waiter named Agoston was nice but we still felt rushed. Most of our party were disappointed by the food or the portion sizes (with some exceptions) but it was very cheap. Weirdly, they won’t serve you tap water so had to pay for 4 bottles.

    A wonderful restaurant with a wide variety of Italian food. They're popular for their all you can eat buffet, which has multiple stations for meat, pasta, pizza, desserts and antipasti. Pricing varies if it's a weekday or weekend. The waiters were very polite and attentive.

    I cannot believe how good this place is. Unlimited food and wine for less than £30 a head! The pasta and pizzas are freshly prepared to order and delivered to your table and you can have as many different combinations as you like. While you're waiting for them to arrive you can grab cold meats, cheese, salad, antipasti, etc and eat to your hearts content. They also offer grilled meat and seafood, also freshly prepared to order. It is incredibly good food and I am astonished that I paid so little for it! Highly recommended.

    Just amazing! The food was delicious, portions were huge, service was amazing, they tried to cater to all our needs as best as they could. Not a single bad thing to point out! Definetly a place I will come back to when I’m in Budapest again 😊👏🏻

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ape Regina Italian Restaurant, and it was truly a fantastic experience in terms of the food. The à la carte menu offered delicious starters and main courses, with the pasta dishes being particularly flavorful. It was a fun touch being able to choose the type of pasta and toppings to customize my dish. The quality of the food was excellent, and the prices were reasonable, providing great value. However, I must mention that the service from the waiter was not as pleasant as I had hoped. Despite this minor setback, I still highly recommend Ape Regina for its culinary delights and authentic Italian flavors. The delicious food and reasonable prices make it a worthwhile dining destination. Just keep in mind that the service might not be as friendly as one would expect.

    The food was really good. The place had a great atmosphere and design. It was really packed for a friday night, but we still got our food very quickly. Definitely recommend the pasta!!😊

  • 4/5 Evie C. 1 year ago on Google
    👍🏼Lovely authentic Italian food, customisable pasta dishes, nice restaurant decor, polite waiters (Agostan), Beef carpaccio was AMAZING and the pasta was so tasty. Would recommend to others. 👎🏼When we first arrived we were met rather rudely by the front of house (a lady with a tattoo on her neck) she was hostile and made us feel uncomfortable. However, Agostan was our waiter and he was very attentive and helpful which made up for it.

    Service is great. Food is great. Should have gone for all you can eat for the price though🫣

  • 5/5 Aiden 10 months ago on Google
    Food was absolutely delicious. Both my pizza and my parties’ pasta was absolutely fantastic. Service was excellent, both friendly and kind with amazing speed, not only my table but everyone else around us seemed to be having an amazing time. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with nothing but perfect service. For the price of the food I could not recommend this place enough. The best restaurant we’ve visited in Budapest

    My family and I had the buffet option, there's an ala-carte option. They cook fresh pasta and pizza right when you order it. Antipasti was fresh and had lots of varieties. Grill was a disaster. Meats were thin and overcooked. Just the chicken and oyster mushroom was good in that department. Best for me was the pasta, really authentic and nice portion. They don't serve too much so you get to try many of their selection. Drinks also included but be careful, ask what coffee is included. If you order cappuccino, macchiato or the like, you get charged. Though the fee is not much. Dessert had loads to choose from. Tiramisu was nice. No ice cream here. Love the service since they take off the plate you're finished with almost immediately so you have more room to order, more time to indulge. They speak English. Staff was mostly okay but the lady with long hair was just so friendly i forgive the others. 🤣

    Unfortunately this restaurant is a big disappointment. The photo of the caesar salad should speak for itself. Stale lettuce, undercooked chicken, and plenty of mayonnaise. There were at least 5 bugs flying around us by the end of our meal. As a Budapest resident, I am disappointed about the high google ratings of this restaurant which would lead visitors to there. Having browsed through the reviews and seeing the language and manners with which the restaurant has responded to criticism is the final straw in a series of unfortunate gastro events happening in this restaurant.

    All you can eat. Great offer! Great food. Just stuff was a bit slow in cleaning the table and bringing drinks.

  • 5/5 Preda N. 7 months ago on Google
    Great food & service. we actually visited this restaurant 3 times but for some reason I forgot to take pictures of the food. Everything we had was delicious!! For sure we will come back next time we are in Budapest.

    Absolutely amazing food. Service was good as well, the staff was really nice. They did however forget to bring us an extra wine glass and espresso but they were really apologetic and sincere. It felt like a really fancy restaurant without the high premium. (you got to taste the wine before ordering etc). We (6) had several pizza's and risotto, shared a bottle of wine and had amazing tiramisu. We ended up paying roughly 23 euros per person split equally.

    Amazing authentic italian dishes and nice service. More than enough on the plate. We ate à la carte and we would come again!

    We visited this restaurant twice on our trip as we liked it so much, one of the staff members even recognised us. Super friendly staff! Good portion sized dishes, freshly made pasta and pizza. All round lovely place to visit.

  • 2/5 Adriano C. 4 months ago on Google
    Nothing seems to be fresh here. Spaghetti tasted warmed up, seafood was unfrozen and didn’t taste like real seafood. Parmesan was not aged at all, maybe it was just pizza cheese. Olive oil was some mixture of sunflower oil with a bit of olive oil. Menthe tea was good 😅. Gulyash also profoundly unspectacular, not fresh carrots etc. Re ambiance: without reservation they sit you between the noisy bar/kitchen area and the entrance, where it’s cold all the time. Usually I don’t bother writing bad reviews, but it was quite an annoying experience, especially given the price.
