The staff was very rude, ignored us for a long time, and reacted angrily when they eventually got to us. Maybe it was because we were clearly visitors and not locals? Also, despite the fact that the restaurant was half empty, the staff squeezed us in a crowded communal table next to a large rowdy group. Food was a hit or miss. We ordered the Burrata Lover pizza and the Not a Pepperoni pizza. The burrata pizza was delicious, and I highly recommend it if you like burrata. The Not a Pepperoni pizza was bland and so disappointing that we didn't even finish it. I was also disappointed that the sour beers on the menu were all sold out, even though that was not stated on the large board at the front. My partner ordered an IPA and said it was the worst beer he's had in Copenhagen. There are so many great restaurants in Copenhagen that I was sad I wasted a meal here.

We then asked for an extra glass and it never came. I proceeded to drink from the water pitcher for the rest of our LONG evening. We then asked for a Moscow Mule and it never came. When we asked our waiter (the same one who took our order), we were then told they don't have Moscow mules. We asked for a menu to order a new drink and you won't believe what happened: it never came. We ordered two pizzas and only one came. When we could finally flagged down a waiter it was another 20 mins until the forgotten one came. Horrible service, even worse pizza. Furthermore, no one ever apologized for the problems or asked how we were doing or needed anything. Everyone was rude and very unhelpful. And on top of all of that it was cramped and uncomfortable throughout the entire restaurant and we could not even get through to the bathroom. Finally a napkin from the previous party caught on fire and there were ashes and the napkin all over the table the entire night (see photo)

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.

While enjoying an adult beverage, we asked our very friendly bartender for a recommendation and he suggested this restaurant. So we walked over, reviewed the menu a second time and decided to give it a try. Being from Chicago, we are picky about our Italian food. We were not disappointed. We would have loved to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful evening, but Europe has not gotten the message about smoking not being good for you. They sit at restaurants and smoke like chimneys. We sat indoors to avoid the smoke and it was fine. They bring you a basket of bread ~ delicious ~ we had a salad and stuffed ravioli. While dining, I noticed a woman outside eating a very delicious looking dish with a creamy sauce, not a red sauce. However, this was some of the best ravioli we had ever eaten. We enjoyed our dinner so much, we returned 2 nights later with friends. They, too, were shocked at the high level of delicious Italian food in Copenhagen. The second night I did order the pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yeah, I read the negative reviews. With doors and windows open wouldn't you expect bugs to be flying about? We had no issues with friendliness and service. Even the restaurants in America start to clean and close down as tables are vacated, what's the big deal with that?

Even though we enjoyed trying the Danish food at the local eateries, we really missed Italian food so we dined here twice during our stay.

When we arrived early there were quite a few open seats and staff had no problem seating us. We could've sat outdoors and listened to a guitarist but opted for inside. The decor was rustic and almost every inch of the wall was covered with something. Even the ceilings were painted. Service was quite good. Attentive and fast. Our section of the restaurant was quiet. However, I felt a little sorry for one server as the couple behind us kept complaining through most of their meal and eventually had to moved due to sounds they kept hearing through the wall. We didn't hear anything. Bread service was included and each slice was soft and helped us finish off the remaining bit of sauces from our pasta. My salmon pasta was quite generous with the amount of salmon chunks. The sauce was distinct creamy tomato and mixed well with the al dente pasta. My SO's mushroom tagliatelle had a nice mix of mushrooms and rich flavor. Dinner was quite filling and we couldn't fit in dessert. Would come back again should we be back in Copenhagen.

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.
