Deborah Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 This is not another Italian restaurant. It is a farm to table culinary delight with an Italian accent, but a generally continental flair. I had what was unquestionably the best pork chop dinner I have experienced in my nearly 3 years in Boquete. Imagine a 2 inch thick chop that cuts like butter! Add to that a compliment of flavor from herbs and spices and a balsamic (?) sauce that just turns it all into heaven in your mouth. The roasted veggies and potatoes were a very nice accompaniment, but Jeez, that pork chop was to die for. The restaurant is nicely appointed, the staff is attentive, and David and Ziling are so gracious; I wish them the best with this venture. An excellent addition to Boquete! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Wolf Technology Group Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Sounds great - I know they are located near the church but what are their hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Ok, so I was NOT enthusiastic about yet another Italian Restuarnt opening in our little pueblo. I really never thought Mangos was very "gourmet" just the one of the only "upscale" places to eat. I had limited expectations for Retrogusto, and waited for their lunch offeringing to make an opinion. I went today for a Christmas luncheon with 10 friends. It was VERY good! The fix price lunch was fabulous! A choice of an appetizer, or soup, or salad. 3 entrees which today was a linguine offering, a whole fried fish Mediterranean, or a beef filet. Followed by a pinapple and ice cream desert. Everything was served HOT. And at the same time......did I say there where 10 of us for lunch? Great job and great food! i will go back for more of the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I was part of the group today that went to Retrogusto today. What Carol says is true. It was a fabulous meal, reasonably priced. Edited December 23, 2015 by Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
