Restaurant RetroGusto

We arrived during prime dinner hour only discover that.
1. The restaurant is tiny.
2. There was a party of 22 already seated.
3. They had one table remaining.
This was not a good scenario and I actually thought about aborting this idea and keep walking down the street.
I am so glad I didn’t! Even though the staff was getting slammed by the big group, the service could not have been better. From the very beginning the servers were looking in on us and made sure that every request was promptly taken care of.
But come on, we all know why you’re reading this review. You want to know about the food. I get that, and let’s face it isn’t why read and write Unilocal reviews?
So lets get to it. The food is amazing. Like completely out of this world sophisticated and damn tasty. The menu offerings are very limited, but this is a good sign. How can that be you ask? They do a few things and do them to perfection. The house specialty is the risotto, which my friend had. Since his dish has scallops, I did not partake in sampling but according to him it was among the top five risottos he had ever had. They had an Argentine ribeye as a special, and I was «this» close to ordering it but for some reason my eyes kept focusing on the cannelloni. So I went against my instinct and went with the cannelloni.
So how good was it?
Like OMFG! Great!
This dish is very light, but each bite was absolutely delectable. The root vegetables (wish I knew what those little suckers were) complemented the cannelloni like they were made for each other.
. This is one of those kinds of dishes that you run into a few times a year and will remember for the rest of your life.
The desserts are also phenomenal and not to be missed. And if you’re into dessert wine, they have an amazing selection of those as well.
This place doesn’t look like much from the outside, but I guarantee you will have a 5 star experience.
