Molto accogliente e molto delicioso. Not for folks on a tight budget or in a hurry. But if you are willing to spend just a little more dough than usual and you want a relaxed, thoroughly pleasant meal, then go for it. The quality, presentation, service and flavors are so good that it is a great value. Top notch ingredients... More

I recently enjoyed a fantastic meal with business associates at the Retro Restaurant in downtown Genoa. We came to Retro based on the many positive reviews here in TripAdvisor and I am pleased to report that we were not disappointed. Retro is beautifully decorated, presenting a very relaxed atmosphere, dark colors and candle lit corners. Big Band Era music is... More

Great restaurant. Charming, romantic, good service and reasonable prices. Our kids loved It as well as they felt very welcomed. Will visit Retro again next time, probably the best restaurant we found.

Retro is a great restaurant in Genoa. The sea food is outstanding - we had the tuna and white fish Mille foglie, and both were excellent. The ambiance is also great - charming vintage decor and mood lighting. Highly recommend!

During our short stay in Genova we have visited this place twice and i can say this restaurant is like good wine- more you taste it more appreciate. This place is essence of romantic atmosphere, style, music and of... More

This place is just amazing. It indeed has a strong retro feel with blues playing in the room and vinyl discs on the tables. More important, of course, is the food, which you will remember for quite some time after your visit.

A big plus is that it is open on Sunday and Monday. I ordered the carpaccio di manzo first. It was not sliced thin like it should be so it was very difficult to chew. The cannellini on the other hand was delicious. And they have half bottles of wine. Atmosphere and service are terrific. Just stay away from the... More

We ordered lobster linguine and grilled octopus as starters, tuna steak and another fish dish as main courses and a small bottle of lovely ligurian white wine. The food was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable (the total bill came to just about 80 Euros). The service was the best. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We went there on Sunday and we really had very good time. Don't expect a quick service, this is a place where you must go with appropriate time and the will to chill out and relax. Very nice retro' fornitures and warm atmosphere. Food is really delicious and the staff is nice and customer oriented. Highly raccomended.
