Renato's

We recently hosted a corporate dinner at Renato’s and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and well taken care of. The ambiance was perfect for a professional gathering—elegant, comfortable, and conducive to great conversation. A special thanks to Thomas, who went above and beyond to ensure every detail was just right. His attention to detail and warm hospitality truly made the evening memorable. The servers were equally outstanding—attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient. Every course was served with perfect timing, and any request was met with a smile. The food was phenomenal—beautifully presented and full of flavor. Our team left the event feeling thoroughly impressed and appreciated.

I had mixed feelings about this restaurant after reading the reviews…but I’m a foodie and fine dining is one of my many guilty pleasures. So ofcourse I still went for lunch at Renato’s. I can’t speak for anyone else but the staff were absolutely lovely! Great ambiance, I really enjoyed the Branzino and the Gazpacho soup. I’ll definitely dine her again, had a great experience. 🤍

Visited on 4th of July with my mom while perusing the courtyard area and while staff and service is exceptional, it seems the view this spot has to the courtyard was obstructed by construction. Food wise this was very reminiscent to little Italy in NYC, which isn’t exactly a compliment. The food didn’t match the atmosphere or service, everything gave upscale but the food lacked flavor richness, was also surprised how al dente our pasta was. We ordered the rigatoni vodka and penne caprese. Overall, I’d probably try the pizza spot nearby next time as for price and taste this just didn’t hit the spot.

My family and I were exploring Worth Avenue for the first time and we ran into Renato’s - it was such a great place to have lunch. The service was amazing and I loved the rigatoni alla vodka - cooked to perfection. They have great Italian dishes to choose from - the vibe and decor of the restaurant makes you feel like you’re in Europe. I can imagine having a romantic dinner in December outside on the patio.

Sit outside if you can, the terrace was beautiful. We visited Tuscany a few years back and were so pleased that Renato’s was offering Capana Brunello. we just knew we were going to have a great night. I highly recommend the octopus, it was delicious! Fresh oysters and amazing pasta! Highly recommend!! Our server Henry and George with the libations were amazing! One of the best meal we’ve had in Palm Beach.

A must go for a special occasion! The atmosphere transports you to another country. The service was attentive, and the food was amazing. I ordered the zucchini blossoms to start (2 per order). Honestly, I wish there were more! The mushroom ravioli is a MUST, and the Bolognese is fantastic. It's expensive, but worth the price!

I chose Renato's to celebrate my birthday with my mom. It's a beautiful restaurant and gives you a vibe of a serene location somewhere off the coast in Italy. I could tell right off the bat that our server was not going to do extra work for people that weren't regulars or a typical Palm Beach crowd. When I made the reservation, I specifically indicated that it was a bday celebration, so I was hoping they would bring a candle in the dessert I ordered. Turns out our server was totally unaware. So I had to ask him to bring my dessert with a candle. The food was good but nothing special. Worth experiencing once if you're in Palm Beach.

My family and I went to this restaurant for father's day and it was disappointing. Our visit was not all bad because of the beautiful ambience and our amazing cocktail waiter. I am so sorry I did not get his name, but he was very attentive and patient with us. On the contrary, our main server "the captain" was not friendly to us at all. There was not much of a personality, he was only there to take our orders in my opinion. The food was not good, this is not authentic Italian cuisine. The pastas were not made from scratch, it was from the box. The food was rather tasteless and overpriced for no reason, I would not recommend this.

We had a great time here and the wait staff were very attentive. We loved the pasta as it was a great meat sauce and al dente, however the chicken wrapped with prosciutto was terribly overcooked. They split the dishes for us which was very kind but the size of the chicken was ridiculously small and I think it was "less noticeable" next to the pasta. If that chicken came out alone, we would've returned it, it was that small. The app was ricotta stuffed zucchini blossoms and only came w 2 pieces. It was good but I wouldn't necessarily spend $25 for it again. I ordered the Sauvignon Blanc and that was crisp light and delicious My husband ordered the Malbec and it was too light with no body for his liking. We would go back for the pasta but we aren't running, Hope this review helps you!

My friend and I were craving Italian for dinner and found this spot to try. We waited at the bar in the meantime for a drink. Bartender was not the friendliest, kind of snobby. She did not acknowledge us even tho we were the only ones at the bar. Finally we got a table to sit down. It took forever for someone to notice us. We had to stop a waiter for a menu before someone brought bread out. Food wise, the warm olive bread with butter and fettuccine al salmone were delicious. I ordered the pear martini and it was really strong for my liking. A bit on the pricey side but worth a try. I can't say I would come back since service seemed like they prefer to go above and beyond for those who look wealthy.

Had a reservation for 4 people last Wednesday. We've been there many times. Like other customers, we love the outdoor ambience and the attentive wait staff, however the food did not inspire. It has an extremely old school vibe. For example, they parade a tray of assorted baked bread with your meal. I started with a nice martini. They asked me at least 4 times if I wanted another drink. A great deal of up-selling going on in terms of drinks and desserts. The veal scallopini was OK - not great. The clams linguini was awful. The baby clams sat in the bottom of the bowl mixed with olive oil and a few shreds of garlic. The pasta, which wasn't even a traditional linguini noodle, was cold and just stacked on top. It had not been tossed and had virtually no flavor. Go to Renato's for the attentive service and the ambience, but don't expect 5 star level of food. For the high price, there are many other fine dining restaurants in Palm Beach which outdo Renato's.

Adorable spot in Palm Beach with a quant inside and a lovely courtyard. It has a distinct European feel. It's very old school (your grandparents and parents would love it)! They have a great wine menu and a great food menu too. Lots of options to choose from and some very unique dishes you won't see anywhere else. They also had a fair amount of delicious nightly specials. Service was great when we arrived (we were the only people there). We started with a bottle of French white wine and their fiori di zucca (zucchini blossoms) and confit d' Anatra (duck confit). Both were great. Loved the duck. It was delicious and cooked very well. For dinner we had two pasta dishes - the ravioli con funghi which came highly recommended (outstanding dish) and a summer pasta special. They did rush us a bit, which flustered me, hence the 4 out of 5, and not 5 rating. The food came out super fast, not sure why, but I would 100% come back. I'd probably bring my parents or my husband's parents next time!

We made dinner reservations weeks in advance for four. Service was quick, we felt rushed. The restaurant is beautiful and courtyard are lush and beautiful. Renato's was crowded, the tables were very close together & it was very loud. We enjoyed a bottle of Prosecco. The warm olive bread & sweet butter florets were delicious. We each received a bite of watermelon with feta & an olive. As an appetizer we shared the $25 artichoke appetizer, it was 2 hearts in a vegetable brother with diced tomatoes, it wasn't exciting. I ordered linguine vongole. There were a dozen small clams, some slivers of roasted garlic over spaghetti. My husband ordered fusilli bolognese that he enjoyed. Family enjoyed 1/2 an orange duck with rice & asparagus and risotto filled with seafood. For dessert we shared a lava cake that was more like a fudgy chocolate cake.

Great date night place. Five stars for ambiance, love the atmosphere, great ceiling and wide pane windows. Love the bar at the entrance and the elegant look and feel. Five star service, both at the bar and at the table, the smartly dressed wait staff is diligent, competent and friendly. Attention to detail is paramount in this restaurant, and you pay for it. The menu is Italian authentic and I have never had a bad dish (the duck!!). The price is high - four stars. You pay for all the 5s I described, and I wish it was a bit more affordable, but it is a once/twice a year type of place for us.

Dining at Renato's for the first time is truly an experience. There is complimentary valet parking once you arrive and it was such a delight walking through Mizner Square to arrive upon the restaurant. It's dark and romantic inside and the outdoor area is completely lit up & adorned with flowers. Breathtaking! Even though the restaurant was full, the tables weren't so closely packed together that I could overhear anyone's conversation. The little details made Renato's memorable for me: -Hot Bread & Soft Butter -Rack to hold leftovers bag -Attentive staff (noticed immediately when my husband dropped his knife & brought a new one) -Bowl to discard clam shells -Live music -Fresh blocks of Parmesan -Packed our leftovers for us On to the food, The soft shell crab dish I did not love. My partner did though. The linguini allá vongole was so delicious. The flavor was so robust. I will be having this again. The spaghettini fra diavola was good. The vongole was so amazing, I couldn't enjoy anything else without comparing it. The servings were filling. For dessert, I had a perfect chocolate cake & my partner had an equally thrilling creme brulee. I will be back very soon! I was charmed by this restaurant, its food, and its staff. Thank you!

Very tight space the tables are all on top of one another. The pasta legit had NO taste. I asked for spicy sauce and there was no taste to the point where I had to ask for red pepper flakes. The portions were also very small. The service was fine - there are lots of workers so you don't really know who your waiter is.

Devine, Amazing food the best mushrooms truffle ravioli I ever have. All the dishes was made with care. Not the best customer service may be because I came on lunch time and it's really busy. But I still love the whole experience. We share two dishes and special dessert which is lemon tart. Amazing . if you would like to dress up and have great lunch and feel fancy for a minute this is the place. Definitely will come back. Hopefully will get better service next time. The food came out on a timely manner. We didn't wait for two long. They also give you bread, please try to olive one omg so delicious freshly made. I could just have that bread and call it a meal. Delicious

Stepping into this amazing courtyard with bougainvillea everywhere on our way to Renato's for brunch took me back to Italy!! I fell in love with this beautiful, romantic place. We sat outside in the courtyard because it was a beautiful day, but it was also very charming inside with all the red leather chairs and beautiful wood furniture. The bar was so inviting and exquisitely made. I was in a daze walking through there! I ordered Eggs Benedict, which were delicious and perfectly cooked. I had an Iced Tea with that. My daughter ordered the Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine dish, which she said was very good. Complimentary Italian bread was also given with our meals. For our dessert, we shared the lava cake, which was amazingly good! The best that I have ever tasted. The service was exceptional. There were three servers who catered to our wishes and checked on us at all times while also checking on the other guests. They are an amazing team. After brunch, we walked around the courtyard and were in awe of the Italian architecture, especially the stairs and doors. Parking is on the street. We can't wait to go back to Renato's!

The food is incredible! This is my favorite restaurant in Palm Beach! I always have the lobster salad with mango and my husband has the Bolognese! The wine list is extensive! Service is always stellar!

Awesome experience overall. Requested the courtyard for the overall experience. Makes you feel like your in Italy. However it was getting chilly so we asked to be inside and the hostess asked if the Wine room would be ok. Never knew they had a wine room but it was charming and warm. Decor takes you back a little to visiting your grand mom. Service was prompt , friendly and efficient without being rushed. Wife got a special of lobster ravioli which she loved and I got Spaghettini Fra Diablo with shrimp which was excellent but I couldn't finish. Desserts were good as well, Crème Brûlée and Torta del'Opera. Will return here when in the area for sure

The food, service were terrible We came for our 11th wedding anniversary and were so disappointed. My salmon was disgusting. My martini was warm and tasted like giordi vodka. We will never be back. We always eat at Bice but wanted to try something new and wish she hadn't. Bice is by far the best restaurant in Palm Beach. Save your money and go there instead

Current Palm Beach fave. Dine outside if you can but they have a lovely piano bar area to enjoy on the inside. I'd call it old school glamour. Beautiful environment, exceptional service, decadent food and beautiful people everywhere all dressed for a festive night out. Loved the kir royale and wine list. The olive bread is a must try - delicious! The caprese salad was one of the best I've ever had. It came with peppers, which I usually dislike, but it was amazing! I ate all the peppers. I had the mushroom ravioli with truffle and caviar cream. Needless to say it was divine and I devoured it. No room for dessert. Highly recommend for a date night, girls night out or a special occasion. A very special place!

My wife selected Renato's for my birthday celebration. She made a wonderful selection. Complimentary valet parking was a welcomed treat to start the evening. The 4 of us tried different entree's and appetizers giving us the opportunity to sample the enticing menu. While there is an Italian flair and menu items, Renato's is more than an Italian eatery. I found it to be more European, to include the feeling that we were somewhere else across The Pond. Dine outside if weather permits. It is Zen-like.

Got the Rigatoni alla Vodka and Linguine alle Vongole. Both were good. But the lava cake at the end was the BEST. So delicious. The best lava cake I've ever had. Would go back just for that. Good service and wine also. Classy upscale ambiance. Indoor and outdoor seating.

While my boyfriend and I were in Palm Beach for the weekend, I made reservations for Renato's which is a coconut throw from Lilly Pulitzer's first boutique location. We walked in to a live piano player and I was instantly obsessed. We were early for our reservation so we grabbed a round of espresso martinis at the bar before we were seated. We started out with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and burrata. All the appetizers sounded incredible and I don't think there's a bad option on the menu. The wait staff was very attentive and kept our wine glasses full throughout the evening. There is bread service too and I highly recommend the olive bread. We both ordered pasta dishes that were fantastic. I got a mushroom risotto that was served piping hot and cooked perfectly. While the food was fantastic, it was the atmosphere that really sold me. From the live music to the women in shift dresses and the palm trees swaying in the courtyard- this restaurant was absolutely perfect. Whether it's date night or girls night out, Renato's is the perfect option.

Excellent restaurant, great food, beautiful setting. Took my daughter and wife and they loved it

Came here while on a staycation at the Colony. Happens to be my wife's birthday weekend and wanted to go to a nice restaurant within walking distance of the Colony. Felt welcome from the moment we walked in. Sommelier made some great recommendations as the wine list was extensive. The menu had many great options and overall it was a great experience.

Bartender and manager are both great. Bravo! I wish I could say the same about our server. I wanted Bolognese pasta. He asked what kind of pasta do I want and I said Tortellini would be great. He brought out Taglioini Bolognese. Insisted that is tortellini. Begins Arguing w me next to my date. Then never comes back to our table again rest of the evening. Not once just watches while another nice server serves us. Supposedly this guy works for the restaurant for over ten years. Old guy w gray hair. Do me a favor don't argue w a customer when you have no F'n idea what kind of pasta you are serving. Embarrassing! Like I said manager and bartender phenomenal from the very beginning.

Service is excellent Atmosphere is awesome Food is not good, olive garden is better.. very over rated

After navigating the labyrinth of alleyways and paths, I found that you enter this restaurant at the back door. The tight quarters are filled with elegance. They try very hard to be a high class establishment, and it shows in subtle ways. When you sit down they bring out a complimentary amuse bouche of watermelon, feta and balsamic glaze. They have an extensive wine menu. They clear your table setting after each course. The food is wonderful. The people are gracious and attentive. The bathrooms were clean. They have terrific olive bread. Everything was great!

Food was average, ambience is nice. The price is not reasonable for what it is and for the area, I think there are a lot of other options in the area that are better.

Food was great ambiance perfect and service outstanding give this place a try and be pleasantly surprised!!!

I'm going to start off with positives. You enter Renato's through a beautiful courtyard surrounded by flowers. Stunning. It gives off all the European vibes. I love white table clothes, it makes the setting very special. The waiter was very nice, but in a hurry. The food was alright. By looking at other peoples photos, our pastas were not topped off with any cheese, because I guess we weren't offered any. The steak was bland. The salmon was very good though! The lava cake was good, but there was no lava. It was dry in the center. We did make reservations, and I'm glad we did. It was very busy as per usual.

The food was good. For the ambiance and the value, would say food fell short but was still good. The service was formal/fine dining. I think our server could have been more attentive for the formal experience. If for food, I think it was good enough but the value is more in the environment.

I personally enjoyed the bolognese here; my friend didn't enjoy the Fettuccine Con Pollo E Spinaci so much & the ravioli was something neither of us enjoyed. The wine was really good. The lunch special seemed a bit more pricey than the regular menu. We went during lunch time on a Saturday, I would recommend going when it's not super busy as the staff wasn't as attentive as we would've hoped. We had to go out of our way to constantly ask for things like bread, butter, cheese, water, etc. which I didn't enjoy doing, it felt as if we were bothering the staff. We also didn't enjoy the soliciting from the neighborhood boutique owners, this was our first time here so not sure if that's a usual thing but at least 3 different ladies interrupted our lunch to pitch their clothing and did the same to other tables. Overall, great atmosphere. I may have to try this place again for dinner or during a slower time.

First time here...Great service and ambiance outside. Servers were top notch / total pros. Shocked the issue was the quality of the food. Great presentation. However, our dishes were seriously lacking flavor. Tasted very dull. Huge disappointment.

This is one of the best Italian places I have ever been to. The courtyard is BEAUTIFUL!! Such a fun and classy place, feels like you are in Italy. The vodka rigatoni was the best I've ever had, and the lava cake was also so so amazing. Best dessert ever! I got an aperol spritz which was made perfectly. The service was spectacular and everyone was so nice and helpful. I loved it here. If I lived in Palm beach, I would go here all the time. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting!! Not to mention, it is right by worth avenue if you want to shop before you eat! Go eat here if you want a good meal!

I was so disappointed. Once a very fine restaurant it is now an old relic with sub par food and dirty silverware. My salad was almost inedible with old lettuce. It was tasteless. The appetizers were good but for the price, this restaurant should be first class. I would not return..

Overall, a beautiful place to sit but the food falls terribly short. We had a reservation for dinner on a Saturday night, opted to sit outside in the courtyard. It was nice and quiet and we both thought the servers did a great job. The only comment I have is that they were quite pushy with alcohol, asking me over and over if I wanted another drink when I still had half and declined already. They do serve breadsticks at the table and also bring another basket with bread to start. I thought the olive roll was excellent. Probably the only food I liked. I ordered the prosciutto with melon. I really prefer the melon to be wrapped, this was just melon with prosciutto on top and it was annoying to cut and wrap myself. We also got the chilled seafood trio. The crab had lots of pieces of shell inside it. Unacceptable to serve it like that for over $30. I ordered the salmon pasta. The salmon was fishy and mushy and ruined the dish. We also got a special which was the duck. Very bland and kind of dry. I probably will never go back here, but it might be a nice place to share a few glasses of wine and avoid dinner.

Not worth the expense. Quality and service average at best. Location is great. Otherwise, overated

Renato's is old school elegant with lovely outdoor seating. The day I was there the sky was brilliant blue and with the clay tile and brightly colored bougainvillea it felt like a movie set in Italy. This is the kind of place that brings your napkin based on the color of your clothes, it's pricey and the menu is ambitious. We started with fried zucchini flowers stuffed with smoked mozzarella. Excellent. Everything else we ordered was off the specials menu - crabmeat in a crepe envelope, and fresh pasta with zucchini, garlic and oil and filet pieces. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the meal was delicious. All the staff was polite and attentive. This was a five star lunch with five star service in a five star setting. A very "Palm Beach experience" and a lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Big fan of Renatos! My boyfriend and I have come here for Valentine's Day the past two years, and everything has been spectacular. One of my favorite parts is the bread service; their olive bread is SO good. We've tried the rigatoni alla vodka, as well as the pappardelle with veal & mushrooms, and I would say the rigatoni is my favorite of the two. We've also had the grouper dish and the Dover sole... they're both delicious but the Dover sole is just wow. One of the best fish dishes I've ever had (and I LOVE seafood). It's a bit pricey but totally worth it in my opinion. We finished off with the lava cake for dessert which was excellent. Another thing I love about this place is the atmosphere. It's beautifully classic whether you're inside or outside. Oh and the service is top notch, as you would expect on Palm Beach. ;) Going to have to make this a regular date night spot!

Disappointment is an understatement. We were really looking forward to this dinner. Staff were friendly, but that's where it ended. First, I got the wrong entree. They offered to exchange it but then forgot about me. By the time I received it, everyone else was done eating. Most likely because they rushed it, my Salmon was completely undercooked and raw inside. My wife had Wodka Penne that had absolute no taste, and our friend's chicken was dry to the bone. Sorry guys, but I would fire the chef.

The food and service were wonderful. Eating outside on the patio was lovely but they also have indoor seating too. Dog friendly!

The rigatoni alla vodka was a 10/10 and my boyfriend said his side of mashed potatoes were "the best spuds he's had in America" that being said in my opinion the A/C was far too cold and I was shivering throughout dinner.

Very friendly service and great atmosphere which is why I hate giving the place two stars but just had a bad meal there. Pasta vodka extremely bland and dry Osso Bucco very dry Salmon pasta very bland and no flavor.

The place to go for a special occasion or to create one! Romantic with exceptional service and food to boot. Their bolognaise, orange flavored duck and dessert were ample amounts with leftovers for tomorrow. Highly recommend.

Went a few nights ago. The vodka rigatoni was so bland I had to ask for salt. Still didn't help, hardly ate any of it. For a $32 pasta dish I would expect some flavor of any kind.

The "Little Italy" of Palm Beach. You enter Renato's through a little via into a beautiful courtyard. Serving upscale Italian food for an unforgettable experience. Gnocchi are my favorite, but the Fiori Di Zucca is a must. The best spot for a celebratory birthday lunch! Indoor and outdoor seating available.

It's a glorified magianos active the price. I have been coming here for 10 years in my birthday and I was so excited I started typing 10 reasons why I will never go there. It was so bad the manager just gave us our credit card back. If you want to feel special go to pink steak. Incredible new restaurant and they will treat you like a good customer

Was able to get a small walk up table at lunch. The service was 1 st class. I ate everything on my plate. It was so fresh with amazing flavor.

The most overrated restaurant I have ever been to! I ordered Linguine Alle Vongole, which was a small bowl of reheated linguine with four tiny clams and no sauce. The pasta tasted like it was made days ago then reheated in the microwave. The place is pretty but the food is a shame! Do not go here!

Sweet bread appetizer is something not on most menus. They were cooked expertly and the sauce complemented the meat. The lobster ravioli was filled with lobster and was a little bland but I enjoyed the heart shapes because it was Valentines Day. The service was excellent.

An obvious classic. Great wine list, a staff that runs like a well oiled machine and consistently good food. I always request a trio of pastas on one plate - the Rigatoni all Vodka (or as I say, "Penne Vodka", the Ravioli con Funghi (or as I say, "Mushroom Ravioli") and the Tagliolini all Bolognese- the option to order that way isn't on the menu but they've always accommodated me. Definitely an older crowd- one of the loveliest spots to eat outdoors on the island and a very good Espresso Martini.

I have only good things to say about Renato's. I went to celebrate my birthday, it's a very nice experience place. Good for a special occasion. The food is absolutely amazing.

When in Rome do as the Romans do, so when in Palm (Beach) do as the Palm Beachers do, head to Renatos. Tucked down an alleyway on the corner of Hoi and Polloi you'll find a classic Italian haunt. The inside of Renato's is old school English men's club meets Italian restaurant. Not a huge indoor space but by PB standards probably pretty big. The crowd ranged from lime green blazered retirees to date nights to obviously special nights out. We even had a celebrity next to us who is the best selling author in the world. (Google it). The dining room spills out into a lush outdoor courtyard that is ringed by high-end Palm Beach (is that redundant?) shops. The setting is great. We opted for an outside reservation. A touch of rain was met by a team of patio umbrella bearing waiters whose choreography helped our night not to skip a beat. However wait service was disjointed and slow but the place is a splurge for most people including me, so who wants to rush out. The menu was pretty basic Italian but that's fine and probably what the regulars are looking for. Now that's not to say it not very good, just order accordingly. Most of our party of 7 ordered a meat or fish with homemade pasta which they are known for. Generally good reviews all around. I had the veal chop with broccoli rabe and potato croquet and a house green salad. I asked for medium-rare and it came out on the nose medium-rare. The Veal Chop was moist and juicy. If the place wasn't so ritzy I would have chewed on the bone! Deserts looked good but I opted for a B and B for desert and just soaked in the night. Prices seemed reasonable for any nice place and certainly for Palm Beach. Some reviews fuss about this and that but they seem to be from people who would be more accustomed to a Solo cup than a wine glass. I'm just saying. So check out this Palm Beach classic, enjoy the food and soak in the ambiance. I say can you pass the Grey Poupon? Hell no have the waiter do it this is Palm Beach! Renatos.........Go!
