Description:
With its small but garish interior of orange, brown and red tones that will remind 30-somethings of their childhoods back in the '70s, Retrogusto—that opened in late 2010 next door to
First Hotel Vesterbro—is not your typical Italian and offers far more than just pizza in its relaxed and fun surroundings. Not surprising, as chef Michele Moretti was previously employed at Copenhagen's Michelin-starred
Era Ora restaurant. Changing three and four-course menus, reasonably priced at DKK 285 and DKK 350 respectively, feature dishes like risotto with mushrooms and saffron, orecchiette pasta with pancetta and pecorino cheese and veal ossobuco. Vegetables and meat-lovers alike will find something to their tastes on the menu, that is also available a la carte. The lengthy wine menu is almost exclusively Italian, and can be bought by the bottle or glass.
