Celebrated Portland Italian Restaurant Renata Has Closed - Eater Portland
"Renata — an Oregonian restaurant of the year once home to noteworthy chefs like Chris Frazier (Accanto) and Matt Sigler (Il Solito) — has closed its doors permanently, an Instagram post indicates. Initially started as a pop-up, Renata opened on Southeast Main Street in 2015, a collaboration between a number of seasoned Bay Area industry vets: Co-owners Sandra and Nick Arnerich spent time at the French Laundry, and chef Matt Sigler spent time at both Flour + Water and Quince. The restaurant became a favorite for pastas and pizzas, served in a casual, bustling space with a strong wine list. Renata transitioned to curbside pickup and delivery during the pandemic, and later launched a line of frozen pizzas. The team will focus on pizzas and private events moving forward." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
