We love this place. Cool retro vibe, great servers, and delicious food. The Caesar salad is to die for. Highly recommend.
Retro Gusto was such a cute restaurant. I went with my friends back in September. And our server Ema was amazing! Definitely the best service we experienced in Ottawa. The food was delicious, I recommend trying the caesar salad, it was so good! Such a great atmosphere and cool vibe. Lots of different things to try.
I could go on and on and on about how fantastic this place is. The food is delicious, as are the drinks and it’s super cozy and well decorated. The standout at this place is the service though. All times I’ve been here, my service has been incredible. Everyone working here is kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. I’ve always left feeling like I not only had fantastic service and great food, but was treated uniquely. It’s just such a wonderful spot. I can’t...read full review

Retro Gusto is a fantastic restaurant that combines vintage style with Italian soul, offering a cozy vibe that enhances the dining experience. The service is friendly and knowledgeable, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The food is fresh, tasty, and well-balanced, featuring must-try dishes like the zucchini salad, funghi pizza, margherita pizza, Roman-style pizza, burrata, and creamy tiramisu. Each dish is beautifully crafted, with unique flavors that stand out, especially the spicy pizza and the standout tiramisu. The decor and lighting add to the charm, making it a great spot for a night out.
The pizzas are nice and light, and balanced, with the zucchine and salamino pizzas being delicious. The caramelized tender zucchini is an absolute marvel. The highlight on the table are the chilli oil and hot honey. The service is impeccable, and the staff seem stoked. The cocktails are fantastic, and the beers are cold. The place is a great space with a warm vibe, perfect for a quick bite or a multiple course adventure.
