Lively brunch and casual Italian spot with standout açaí bowls and solid pastas, good for breakfast near the beach, but service speed and occasional rudeness can frustrate.
Retró Gusto delivers solid brunch execution with standout açaí bowls and breakfast plates that justify its local following, but inconsistent quality—overripe fruit and missing components alongside excellent dishes—prevents a higher grade. Service splits between friendly and slow, and waits for drinks and bills are frequent, making it a worthwhile neighborhood spot rather than a destination restaurant.
One caveat: Waits of 30-50 minutes for drinks or bill reported during busy periods
