   Üdvözöljük a Risoban!
   Éttermünk 2011 nyara óta van jelen a budai várnál. A ’Terrace’ szó nem hiába került bele az elnevezésbe, hiszen a vendégek valóban úgy érezhetik, hogy egy másik világba, idilli környezetbe csöppentek, elég helyet foglalni a buja zöld növényzettel körülölelt terasz asztalainál. A kerthelyiség szinteltolásos építészeti kialakítása, a felső részen helyet kapott grillkonyha, a kényelmesen és tágasan elhelyezett bútorzat otthonos hangulatot teremt.
   Welcome to Riso!
   Our guests can indeed feel that they got into another world, an idealistic scene, it is enough to take a seat at the tables of the terrace surrounded by lush, growing greens. The leveled architectural design of the terrace, the higher level of the grill kitchen, the comfortably and loosely placed furniture, creates an intimate and also cozy feeling.

   „ …The most Italian Italian…”
   One of our primary goals is to attract a clientele who like traditional Italian cousine and find a homely ambience important
   Since we have opened our Italian countryside style restaurant in 2007, our continuous hard work, improvements and self-development have helped us reach a point where we can truly be proud of our freshly made pastas, which are prepared using the best Italian ingredients and the most modern equipment
   Our pizza dough recipe follows such an ancient technique that is only used by a few today, mainly due to its time consuming nature
   According to an old teaching it’s impossible to firm the knowledge of something that we don’t know, therefore training and continuously educating our colleagues is an important part of our daily routine…!
   You can only love what you know...

The Black Swan's nest is hidden in ordinary surroundings, inside walls that look average. A little light filtered out onto the street from behind heavy velvet curtains shows you are heading in the right direction. Once inside you will witness a magical world in an art deco environment where special drinks and a passion for gastronomy create miracles!

   Hello Budapest,
   My name is Leo, Your Highness.
   We haven’t met yet, but I finally have arrived to Budapest and I would like to let you in some secrets about me, just to make sure you will recognize me when the time will come. I have a very strong feeling about you and me spending this summer together.
   So, who am I…
   I am coming from a large and highly sophisticated family, but if I am honest I was always the black sheep around. Nothing serious - of course, I mean from my part. :P I am eager to swim against the flow and to do what others may not even dream or think of trying.
   I love to travel, to get to know other cultures and people from all around the world. I love to eat…oh my God all those amazing flavors and colors of the world.
   So, I highly recommend you not to leave me hanging and meet me at the top of Hotel Clark , where I can show you the most amazing view to our gorgeous city.
   See you at my roof, Leo, Your Highness
