Elefántos Étterem
Elefántos Étterem és Pizzéria
Old-school Italian restaurant in Pécs, opened in 1996, certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana and listed in Gault&Millau 2025.
Located on Jókai Square in the pedestrian Old Town, this has been one of Pécs' most popular Italian restaurants for nearly three decades. A large pizza oven stands out in the dining room. The restaurant holds certification from the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana (AVPN), a rare credential in Hungary. Beyond Neapolitan pizza, it serves house-made pasta and classic Italian home cooking, and the tiramisu served in glasses is especially praised. The wine list focuses on Italian wines, with options by the glass. It was included in the Gault&Millau guide in 2025, scoring 10/20. Weekday lunch set menus are available, and the restaurant stays open late, making it a good dinner stop after exploring the Old Town. Reservations are recommended for weekend evenings.
