"The patio at Renata is one of our favorite places to spend a few hours forgetting we have responsibilities and deadlines. If it’s winter or the best seats are taken, sit at the bar for Happy Hour or grab a table to eat some of the best pasta in the city, like butternut squash ravioli or squid ink corzetti. All of the bread, charcuterie, and pasta are made in-house, so even if you’re someone who doesn’t like to ruin their dinner with bread, definitely order the focaccia with lemon ricotta and smoked butter." - krista garcia
