Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Retrogusto is a pizzeria and bar that brings some much needed excitement to the north end of Preston street. We serve a Roman style pizza "Tonda", traditional roman fried snacks, salumi, cheeses and other small plates. Our food will be complimented by a small wine list that will be in constant rotation, strictly Italian classic cocktails, and beautiful amaro's from around Italy. The warm, cozy, dimly lit dining room with an open kitchen will be the perfect place to do the only thing that matters; eat good food, drink good wine and have a good time with friends.

Fantastic first visit! The service was friendly, efficient, and spot-on with their recommendations. • The food was outstanding—especially the fried mortadella, which was a highlight. The pizza was incredibly delicious with a thin crust, flavorful sausages, and a rich, vibrant tomato paste that tied everything together beautifully. We ended the meal with pistachio and chocolate cannolis, which were the perfect sweet finish. • The retro atmosphere adds a funky charm that makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!”

Nice setting, cozy place. Everyone working is very friendly and welcoming. It has a great vibe. Menu was a bit limited for my taste, but if you want somewhere to linger over a few rounds of cocktails, wine and pizza, then you can’t go wrong.
