This was not a good scenario and I actually thought about aborting this idea and keep walking down the street. I am so glad I didn't! Even though the staff was getting slammed by the big group, the service could not have been better. From the very beginning the servers were looking in on us and made sure that every request was promptly taken care of. But come on, we all know why you're reading this review. You want to know about the food. I get that, and let's face it isn't why read and write Yelp reviews? So lets get to it. The food is amazing. Like completely out of this world sophisticated and damn tasty. The menu offerings are very limited, but this is a good sign. How can that be you ask? They do a few things and do them to perfection. The house specialty is the risotto, which my friend had. Since his dish has scallops, I did not partake in sampling but according to him it was among the top five risottos he had ever had. They had an Argentine ribeye as a special, and I was "this" close to ordering it but for some reason my eyes kept focusing on the cannelloni. So I went against my instinct and went with the cannelloni. So how good was it? Like OMFG! Great! This dish is very light, but each bite was absolutely delectable. The root vegetables (wish I knew what those little suckers were) complemented the cannelloni like they were made for each other. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ristorante-retro-gusto-københavn?select=twPY2kP5Jpxr__i4nq1XnA#twPY2kP5Jpxr__i4nq1XnA . This is one of those kinds of dishes that you run into a few times a year and will remember for the rest of your life. The desserts are also phenomenal and not to be missed. And if you're into dessert wine, they have an amazing selection of those as well. This place doesn't look like much from the outside, but I guarantee you will have a 5 star experience.

I tried one with pesto, potatoes and grana padano which was truly delightful. Interesting taste combination and well baked in a warm Italian "forno". Price is cheap for what you get. The waiting time was a bit long so I could visit the FBC, buy some wine and come back again - I wasn't in a rush but it could be wise to call and make an order first. Since I speak Italian I had a conversation with one in the kitchen but couldn't make out the dialect. Sounded a bit like southern Italy but will try to figure that out on my next visit.

When I saw how packed it was I knew it must live up to the hype but I was super disappointed with the experience. I was sat and served bread and upon my 3rd bite of bread I noticed it super tasted like perfume or soap. Hmmmm that's odd I tried another piece and the same thing, I spit it out. In that moment I lost trust, before my main dish even arrived. When the carbonara did arrive , to my extreme disappointment it literally had no flavor what so ever. Not one seasoning was added to this dish. I only ate about 3 bites and asked for the check. The server asked if i wanted something else but at this point i just wanted to go home. They charged me in full. I walked home in disappointment on my last night in this beautiful city filled with great food. The end.
