RetroGusto Restaurant & Bar

We came for lunch and it took much longer than expected. When asked about how they were “farm to table” the waiter said he didn’t know because he was new. We tried a few items including the chuleton, gnocchi, pasta and pizza and none wowed me. I specifically requested the seafood pasta for the kids not to have any greens/herbs on it and it came with it. Not what I expected.

Pleasantly surprised. Recommended by a friend, the menu is fantastic something for everyone. We started with pizza for appetizer, we had some salad and wine, then ordered main courses. Everyone share if you bites just to check it out. The pork chop, beef, fish and truffle dish worth it. We two bottles of the Chilean Cabernet. The price super reasonable.

We were a walk-in party of 10 and had the pleasure of sitting at a table overlooking the kitchen. Our experience was top-notch, with Armando as our server. He was attentive and knowledgeable. If he was uncertain of a question one of us had he didn't hesitate to confirm it with the chef. Our food was unbelievable, the mushroom bisque on special was literally to die for, seriously, I will never stop thinking about that soup. Everything from the beef carpaccio to the homemade pastas were flawlessly executed and the courses were delivered within reasonable times between each other, no feeling of being rushed or waiting around for food. It was an excellent experience — we can't wait to return to Boquete to visit this restaurant again. Thank you to Armando, the chef, and the entire RetroGusto team!

The food at this restaurant is amazing!! The beef carpaccio for starters was so good that we ordered a 2nd. For main we had the chicken dish and the truffle pasta and they were both also great, reasonable prices and good sized dishes. Only downside was disorganised service…. the restaurant wasn’t busy but had to ask multiple times for a bottled drink which ended up taking 20 mins to come out.

Four different people recommended this place and they were correct. It has a great atmosphere, good food, generous portions and nice staff. Most are bilingual. My pizza and beer was great and they offered a free shot at the end of the meal. Recommend!

Great service, Chef did amazing with menu, variety, flavor and presentation! Very clean- passion fruit sorbet- yummy!!

We had a delicious and relaxing meal here on a rainy night. We tried the passion fruit sour cocktail of the day (you won me over at sour and passion fruit) and it was fantastic. We split the foccaccia with rosemary and salt that came straight out of the wood fired oven. My partner loved his seafood spaghettoni and I cannot recommend the tagliatelle with homemade sausage enough. They did not skimp on the sausage and I had tons with every bite and it may have been the best sausage I've had in years. So good!

We spent our anniversary here tonight because it's my favorite restaurant in Boquete! The food is always top notch as is the staff! Brad, our most gracious server, made our night even more special by singing us a lovely song with his amazing voice ❤️ we loved it and thank you for the memorable night!
