The restaurant and restrooms were super clean. The staff were amazing! They were so kind and attentive. We did the happy hour menu - we ordered the fried calamari, which I do not like but wanted to try, and it was delicious! Along with the fuego sauce. It was crispy and not chewy at all. Also ordered the beef sliders on brioche buns. They were tasy as well! We also got the pork belly - tostones, red onion, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice . I personally did not enjoy this, but my bestie's did. We had such a great time and will definitely be back for a nice dinner.

There are many gluten free options so I was in heaven!! I haven't had a fried Calamari in years because there were no gluten free options. The calamari was perfectly done just the right amount of seasoning and the batter was light and crispy! Empanadas were yummy and the gluten-free chocolate lava cake was decadent and gooey. We were so excited to dig into everything, we forgot Pictures! (Except for the Lava Cake!) Definitely will be going back!!

I had the house salad and it looked so good I ate it before realizing that I wanted to take a picture. It tasted better than it looked.

You can tell that this place is their passion because it is extremely clean and very well kept and they put a lot of love in everything that they do. I will definitely come back to try their other offerings.

We wanted good Mexican food today so headed to Taco Central in Ansonia. When we arrived the open…read moresign was off and the doors were locked. Bummer, as drove 20 minutes in terrible winter weather. I happened to notice the sign Retro next door. On a whim, I googled it. Great reviews. We decided to give them a try. Oh my goodness, the 4.9 out of 5 didn't lie. Out of 5, we give them a 7. Super cute, uber clean was our initial impression. Emily was behind the bar and quickly welcomed us in. We were their first customers as it had just opened. We told her about Taco Central being closed, no idea why and that this was our first time in. She was so friendly and explained pretty much everything about Retro, from it being family owned and run to what makes it special with recommendations and customer favorites. Her Dad is the owner, Gary and we quickly met him. He shared some history of the area, his background and really made us feel special, but what is special is the crazy delicious pizza we enjoyed. Probably the best pie we have had in the NE. Which is saying a lot. It's New Haven style pizza at its absolute finest. The dough, the crust, the San Marzano sauce (to die for), coupled with the cheese, and toppings. We built our own. Sausage (which he makes himself), black olives, mushrooms, hot oil, jalapeños omg!!!! The pie was so delicious. A tip, when your pizza comes out, let it sit a minute or two before grabbing a slice to let it jive together. They offer oregano, red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese to add. It's not needed but was so appreciated. They have apx 3 TVs to catch a game as well as tables. The ambiance is casual, retro and fun. Great date night, family friendly and welcoming. There truly wasn't one thing missing. Plus, they offer great wine choices in six or nine ounce pours at reasonable prices. But unlike so many restaurants, they have lovely long stemmed wine glasses. Great selection of beer, including local craft beers on tap and full bar. Go with complete confidence. I don't know if they have parking behind the restaurant as we parked directly in front street side.

Delicious thin and crispy New Haven style pizza without being overly charred. There were so many speciality pizzas to choose from and I can't wait to come back and try more! All of them were delicious, though if I had one critique, the cheese pizza was a bit greasier than I typically prefer - but it was still great! We loved the mandarin salad too. We will definitely be back and wish them the best of luck as they're still under 2 months old!
