We are always delighted by Retro Gusto. The food is perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself) and there’s a nice mix of familiar favourites and new items to enjoy. The service is just right - attentive but not hovering, very knowledgeable and welcoming. I don’t know what’s in that pizza dough but it’s pretty magical.

Ann always gives phenomenal service. She is fast, friendly, efficient and funny! The food is always good. A little too loud this time around but with two large tables of hockey teams its hard to get around that. We will definitely be back.
