Renzo's Trattoria and Pizzeria

I expected more from this restaurant. I went to celebrate my birthday yesterday and the truth is it wasn't what I expected. The drinks were good, but the spaghetti took too long and when it arrived it was bland and overcooked. The shrimp tasted like they were frozen. For the price of this dish it was disappointing. My husband ordered carbonara and it was overcooked. We expected more because the bill was something. The waiter only came once and didn't show up again to give us our bill. It is worth noting that the plating was good, but the food did not taste good.

First off service was poor. Had to get other waiters and bartendwr to help us. Manager finally had to run my CC. Grilled shrimp was chared and served that way so kitchen has no pride. The pizza was raw so only ate two slices drinks were average but over piced. Steak was over cooked. Chicken was the only good thing apart from the water boy who was on top of his game.

The pesto pasta was amazing! Cocktails are super small for the price. Would definitely recommend this place. We got- pesto pasta w/shrimp, American breakfast and lasagna bolognese.

Dined at this place last night. Surprised by the smallness of the dining room. If the weather is nice, strongly consider patio dining. Being from New England and growing up in an Italian family, I am fairly fussy about my Italian food, however, this place was excellent. It started with fresh, hot garlic bread (a major plus) and the lasagna and the lemon chicken parmesan were both great. I have to admit that the tomato soup tasted more like squash, but it was good so I'll leave it at that. My only complaint would be the very small table for two. We spent a good deal of time shifting things around as dishes came out. Maybe they can do something about that. All things considered, a great dining experience.

Good food and authentic Italian cuisine. A little pricey compared to other similar restaurants but a good find with a cozy atmosphere. One big upside is the kids pizza is 12 inches!

Came here on a Saturday evening after furniture shopping next door. Didn't have a reservation, but was seated right away since it was early. Service was very friendly by all the staff. Management even stopped by during the meal to check on the food and service. Server did a great job throughout the meal. Had a bonus of having live music from Chica and Da Man band throughout the evening. For the meal, shared some pizza, salad, and pasta. Food was freshly made and came out within 15 minutes. Was enjoying the music over the meal, drinks, and desserts, but never felt rushed. Good place to come for great food service and hopefully some live music.

My daughter and I had such a lovely time during our lunch here! From start to finish, it was a great experience. Our waitress was so attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, which really set the tone for a relaxed meal. We tried several dishes, starting with the garlic bread. It was freshly baked, warm, and perfectly buttery with just the right amount of garlic—simple but delicious! Next, we had the mussels in white wine and herbs, which were flavorful. A touch more lemon might have elevated it for our taste, but still, we really enjoyed it. The seasonal butternut squash soup was another highlight—sweet with earthy undertones and such a silky, creamy texture. It was perfect for the season. Then came the prosciutto panini, which was warm, cheesy, and light, a comforting dish that really hit the spot. To finish, we shared the Tiramisu for dessert. It was light, airy, and had the ideal balance of sweetness and espresso flavor—a perfect way to end the meal. The atmosphere was inviting and friendly, and the restaurant was spotless. Plus, there’s plenty of parking, which is always a bonus. If you haven’t been here yet, I definitely recommend giving it a try. I think you’ll have a great time, just like we did!

I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday, along with my friend's, over dinner on the patio. The setting was very cozy and relaxing, making it perfect for the occasion. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. Our server, Mike, went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, attentive and friendly throughout. The manager was also very helpful and attentive, making us feel truly appreciated. It was a memorable evening filled with good food, great company, and excellent service.

We made a reservation for 6:30 on a Saturday and showed up around 6:20. No waiting around--they sat us right away, and the hosts were super friendly and welcoming. A great start. Our server, Mike, was fantastic. He was friendly, knew the menu well, and was refreshingly honest about the food. His recommendations were on point and didn't feel pushy at all. We kicked things off with drinks. My wife ordered the limoncello martini, which was bright, lemony, and not overly sweet. Turns out they make the limoncello in-house, and you can tell--it was really fresh. One was just the right amount. I had the Dolce Vita cocktail, which had a great mix of whiskey, vanilla-infused demerara, and walnut bitters. Smooth and balanced--nothing overpowered the other. For the antipasti, we split the fritto misto. The shrimp and calamari were perfectly crispy, with more calamari than shrimp, but still a good portion. What stood out was the arugula--it wasn't just for garnish. It added a peppery, citrusy bite that really elevated the dish. For our mains, my wife went with the carbonara--a solid portion, not overly creamy, and a perfect ratio of spaghetti to pancetta. The spaghetti was cooked just right. I had the short rib ravioli alla vodka--rich and creamy with just the right kick of spice. The ravioli were big and stuffed, served piping hot and full of flavor. We weren't done yet--we ended the meal with another round of drinks. The espresso martini was a showstopper: not too bitter, creamy froth, and beautifully presented. My wife joked she could've had 20 more. I ordered the carajillo, which had a great blend of cocoa and cinnamon. The flavors were rich, warm, and smooth--definitely a must for coffee lovers. Overall, the experience was excellent. The ambiance was lovely, music was at a perfect volume, and service throughout was great. The only small critique is that the seating in the front room felt a little tight--we were close to other tables--but honestly, it didn't take away from how much we enjoyed ourselves. We'll definitely be back.

Cute place, we went during lunch while there was no wait. Service was meh... nothing to write home about. Garlic bread $3, it was ok. Hard to cut/chew. I loooove tomato soup, but not this one. It fell flat and was reminiscent of baby food. My pasta, the vegetarian orecchiette was good, but it also lacked flavor. It needed something... I added chicken, but it was burnt/charred around the edges. I might go back on a weekend evening to check out the vibe, drinks and live music, but I wouldn't go back to eat

Horrible service! Sat at the table for 15 minutes and no one welcomed us, acknowledged us, or even noticed we were there. Never going back - they don't care about service, only big parties. Their excuse is they were busy and they penciled in our reservation at the last minute. If, as a business know you can't accommodate an added table, than tell the customer that there are no tables available.

Upon walking outside and into the restaurant I was surprised that it was in a strip center for one and how small it is inside. We were seated right away. We were not in a rush at all but the service was quite slow through the entire dinner even though the restaurant was not busy at all. It didn't bother me so much but service is huge for my husband. Our apps came out before our bar drinks so we were disappointed about that too. I had the Italian Paloma and it was very good!!!Everything we ate though was very,very good and reasonably priced. I had the Tagliata and it was so tender and succulent. It was served over arugula with shaved Parmesan and tomatoes. For dessert we shared the Tiramisu. It was delicious and creamy! I would dine here again.

Scale 1-5. (5 highest) Food: Short Rib Ravioli- 5 My spouse had this flavorful dish and seasoning and sauce was on point. (Not pictured) Mexican Pizza- 3 Was not what I was expecting perhaps I was comparing to somewhat similar ingredients from a local bistro. Needed more "heat" and favor. Tiramisu- 5. Just order it ! Perfect Ambience 4- Great atmosphere. The music was a little too loud at times. Service 4 We were pleased with the service, however very disappointing when we ordered coffee to accompany our Tiramisu dessert and the waiter said he couldn't find a spoon so he handed my spouse a "butter" knife to stir her coffee. Very unprofessional. Note: we we're here on Christmas Eve 2024 Would we come here again? Yes

Great time here with friends. Music in the patio was great- perfect night for it. Hats off to Dallas who helped us pick terrific wine and dishes. Highly recommended.

5 STARS!!! I give five star awards maybe once every two years. Renzo's doesn't disappoint. From the drinks to the dessert and every bit in between, everything is delicious. Our favorite meal is the gnocchi. It's like an aphrodisiac. I included pictures of all the empty plates to show how awesome our friends thought this place was as well. Make reservations. Enjoy!

My husband and I decided to celebrate our 44th wedding anniversary at Renzo's. We made the reservation on line and indicated we were celebrating our anniversary on the on line form when it asked if it was a special occasion. We were seated immediately and got to pick our table since we had an early reservation. We had three servers--the primary server and two bar tenders. They were all very polite and the service was efficient. We had the burrata as an appetizer that was excellent. Both of our pasta dishes were delicious. I can't give the restaurant 5 stars because absolutely nothing was mentioned about our anniversary. They should pay more attention to the reservations. I probably wouldn't recommend it for a special occasion, but for a regular night out, it was very good.

Wow! Our son bought us a gift card for this hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious. The flavor in each bite of food was so delicious. Definitely coming back. We had the Carpaccio Di Manzo, Bolognese and the Lemon chicken parmesan. The cucumber martini is a must. Thank you Monique for a great experience. Can't wait to come back.

If you're a seafood enthusiast, mussels are an absolute must-try, when you visit Renzo's The ones I had recently were nothing short of perfection--plump, tender, and infused with the rich flavors of a delicate white wine and garlic broth. The broth was a standout, perfectly balanced between buttery, garlicky, and slightly tangy from the wine, making it irresistible to soak up with crusty bread. The presentation was also top-notch, served steaming hot in a deep bowl, with the shells opening up like little treasures. The portion size was generous, making it a fantastic choice for sharing or enjoying as a hearty meal. Whether as an appetizer or a main course, they deliver an unforgettable dining experience that leaves you wanting more. The pizza was to die for as well. Highly recommend!

Service was A, food taste and quality B. Overall a B+ What I was looking for is something special, to lure me away from Carrabbas, Maggianos, Olive Garden which are reliable options on my Italian rotation. For small boutique Italian I love Pesto in Olmos Park and Umberto's on Culebra. Renzo's is in the boutique or small business category, satisfied but did not wow today when we went for Brunch. I feel like the ambiance and experience would be better at night. The space is sort of strip mall sterile, but aspiring with incongruous details like laminated menus and luxuriant leather check holders. We arrive and the guy asks if we have reservations. I was oh brother, it came across as pretentious. Then he took us to a wobbly table which he did fix but it was something they should have done earlier, not while we are seated. Servers were attentive, I had constant refills, a nice plus! I had the Verdure which looked great in the pictures, it is basically small conchas (shells) in a creamy cheese sauce. I added grilled chicken. The chicken and for that matter the meatball in the meatball panini did not taste seasoned, basically just cooked meat. The chickee had a smokey char taste, not bad, but the chicken may have benefited from being soaked in a tasty brine overnight. We ordered caccio de pepe and the margherita pizza to go. I liked the packaging of the To Go, a large branded paper bag with handle and a plastic container suitable for reheating in the microwave. Also, there was no complimentary bread to start, which is fine but weird.

This place is awesome. ATMOSPHERE: Located at a super non-crowded area next to Living Spaces with tons of parking, Renzo's is such a nice, classy restaurant. Candle lights, overhead string lights on the patio, a beautiful mural, the whole nine yards. FOOD: Everything we've had here has been delicious. My favorite dish is the Verdure (pictured below) that has a fantastic Bianca sauce on top of the unique orecchiette pasta. We also love the Cacio e pepe pasta that they do wonderfully here. Seasonings have always been great and pasta/meats have never been overdone or cooked poorly in our experience. DRINKS: The few cocktails I've tried have been good. Pictured below is the lavender mule but I substituted blackberry for lavender. For the wine list, they provide a nice selection of bottles and glass options. Specifically, we've had a good experience with the Nerello Rosato and the Paso Robles Cabernet. Overall, this place is fantastic, and they even have some great live music on weekends we've been able to enjoy. Recently, we listened to a very talented lady play the keyboard and sing fantastic jazzy, R&B tunes. Would 100% recommend this place especially for a date night, as it's definitely pricey, but absolutely worth it.

This food was so good I can't wait to go back! The ambiance was nice with a live band playing in the back ground. There was a group of so the drinks were coming slow but I had to give grace with a large party. However since it was slow, it may have benefited them to use 2 servers so we didn't have to wait as long. Back to the food. The caprese was perfection. It was to die for...perfectly cut tomatoes and drizzled sauce was so good. I got the short rib ravioli and it was AMAZING. It was so flavorful. The ravioli was so full of short rib and the sauce was a little spicy but seasoned to perfection. This place is perfect! Give them a try asap!

We attended a 50th Anniversary Celebration Saturday evening, June 21st. The guests were disappointed at the long wait for the food. I was served the wrong steak and got sick, food poisoning with raw steak (had ordered med rare). I was sick for 3 days. They refused to take responsibility for the disappointing service and didn't give credit back to the hosting couple. Will not go back again.

Renzo's, you've done it again! Came here exactly one year ago from the date and the experience was the same; enjoyable! Food still held the same quality taste and service was great. Presentation remains delightful as I love eating with my eyes first. Not sure about dinner time but the lunch 3 course special is the go to.

Had lunch here for my friends birthday. It was a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. We started off with the basket of garlic bread. The bread is extra buttery. Nothing wrong with that. They do bring you more and desired. My friend had the spaghetti Pomodoro with chicken. I had the quinoa tuna bowl. The tuna bowl has an asian flare. The tuna is raw. I had great flavor. The avocado and cucumbers complemented the bowl well. I tried out the lavender mule. It was pretty good. I was able to get the lavender flavor from it. Sometimes you buy drinks and you can't even taste the lavender. They have inside and outside seating. Parking is available on site. I did take a small cake for my friends birthday. They did tell me ahead of time that if they needed to cut the cake, there would be a charge depending on the cake size. Everyone was nice and friendly. My waitress did a great job.

I've been here twice and have been very satisfied. The food is all very flavorful and the staff are very kind. This is a nice spot that tucked away but packs a great punch when you need some delicious Italian.

Wednesday, we headed back to @renzostx for dinner and happy hour. Happy hour ends at 6pm. There are both food and drink specials. The last time we sat out in the patio and there was live music. This time we sat indoors. Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had Capri Island, and I had the Nero E Blue Mojito. We started out by sharing the Carpaccio Di Manzo. Love the thinly sliced meat! Just melts in your mouth yumminess! Dad and I shared the Verdure. Hubby had the Bolognese with meatball. We all shared the Renzo pizza. The cured meats were too much for us with the saltiness and thankfully, Samantha, the manager, changed it to the Capri pizza instead. Plenty of pizza to take home and enjoy another time. Jacob was our server, who did a great job from start to finish.

Delicious food and great service! We had the carpaccio and the Capri pizza. Both were very tasty and well prepared. Our waitress Genevieve was very courteous and not pushy at all. She described the food choices to us and made great recommendations including the light, but very rich chocolate cake and ice cream. We were here for lunch this time and plan to return for dinner soon! Thank you Renzo's!

Came for dinner on a Thursday night and you would've thought it was Saturday the way it was packed in there. Live music going on, tables packed, bar packed. Great weather for patio dining so we requested a table outside. Our server Mike was on point. It was our first time so he gave wine, cocktails and meal recommendations which we really appreciate. We started with the garlic bread and butter, an espresso martini and Renzo's margarita. Drinks were soooo good. I loved my martini, perfectly espresso'd and the margarita was crafted so well. The bread isn't complimentary which was kind of a bummer but $3 isn't bad. I do wish it came with marinara or some type of dipping oil or even more butter, but overall nice to have with the meal. There are so many appetizing dishes on the menu, it makes it really hard to decide. We relied on our cravings, Yelp photos and server recommendations to make a final decision. The way the menu is set up, definitely feels like it'd be hard to make a wrong choice but I just had to have the best on my first time. I was looking to try something new, something exciting. After long and hard consideration, we both landed on the Verdure with grilled chicken. Came highly recommended on Yelp and by our server. It was a HIT! Absolutely loved this plate. The sauce is well balanced and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. I'm a sucker for char on my chicken so I would've eaten it alittle more "burned", deeper grill marks BUT it was perfect regardless. Great great great meal. The mushrooms, the cherry tomatoes, everything so fresh. It was probably one of the lightest pasta dishes I've eaten in a long time. I ate my whole plate which is the first for pasta. If it's your first time, don't waste time debating, get the Verdure and then line up your next option because you will be back and it's always fun to try something new. Next time I visit I'll probably try the Gamberetto, I was so close to choosing this plate but wanted more veggies. Looking forward to my next meal.

Most excelente! The service was fantastic / our waiter Michael was genuine, attentive and gave great recommendations for wine. It's a nice place and the inside is small making for some long wait times during peak periods. As for the food my wife would give her dish 5 stars the Verdure. She loved it. I had the Bolognese which was good. My daughters had the gamberreto and lasagne. We enjoyed a bottle of Paso Robles Paso d'Oro which was quite good.

Michael, our server, was the star of the show. He was very attentive from the time we got there until we finished our meal. He recommended the Buffalo Burrata which was absolutely delicious. The reduced balsamic vinegar paired very well with the cheese. I could have had this as my main meal but I went with the steamed mussels cooked with wine and lemon butter sauce. It was great pairing it with the crostinis. The place itself is well decorated. They had live music playing in their patio. Really great vibe and well worth another visit.

First experience at Renzo,everything went so well with a great service gave by our waiter Mike. The food was delicious,light and fresh. The ambiance was great,not too loud not quite either just great! I recommend highly

We went again and were even more pleased than the first time! This place is top tier and we'll be coming back again and again until we leave San Antonio! The gluten free pizza is so good and doesn't leave a terrible heavy feeling like some others! Elevating to 5 stars for amazing service, meal and vibes on a Saturday at around 1 pm.

Friends, here is an update for Renzo's, a reflection of our over half dozen visits over the past year. We had previously considered this trattoria as 5 stars, but now, unhappily we must downgrade our rating. In fairness, we think the establishment should rate 3/12 stars, but rating system as it is, we decided on 3 stars. First, here in our opinion are found the strengths of the restaurant. STAFF: We have always been warmly and cheerfully welcomed by the entire staff, from the receptionist, to the waitstaff, to the chef helpers, to the mixologists. The manager will often pass tables, inquiring of the dining experience...nice touch we think! MENU: The menu is of moderate offering, (some have complained it might be too limited), a positive feature which should grant the chef liberty to offer his best takes on menu items, and some items are best described as stellar. (More on this later). AMBIENCE: Renzo's offers indoor, bar, patio and patio bar seating, choices that should satisfy most guests preferences. The indoor area is smaller compared to the patio seatings, but on a busy night the sound level can present a problem. And the patio area is now enclosed with industrial plastic, a nice feature on chill evenings. MIXOLOGIST: Honestly, we have yet to find a libation that we thought unacceptable. We consider the Dirty Vodka Martini and the Old Fashioned among the best. LIVE ENTERTAINMENT: Certain nights, guitar and keyboard players may perform, adding another layer to the evening enjoyment...but more on this later. But now, for the weakness that have caused our downgrade in rating. MENU: There are in fact weakness that we have found to be rather consistent. We have ordered different fishes on the menu, and hoping for scrumptious morsels, the poor fishes have been overcooked on every visit. Think dry, chewy protein, the poor salmon and tuna fishes not even saved with what should be ample sauces. Our last visit, we even explained to the waitress our strong preference to not overcook the finned creature...but to no avail. We ordered the Carpaccio Di Manzo, and asked for the truffle oil on the side, not drizzled over the carpaccio. The protein was appropriately razor thin, but was so laden with oil that the oil bath ruined the dish for Marjan. (Thank goodness we ordered the truffle oil on the side). We visited the last day of Culinaria Week, and ordered the fixed menu. Disappointing was the pasta dish, uninspired, lacking any real character. And that has been our experience with pasta entrees...sometimes delicious...sometimes just pedestrian. LIVE ENTERTAINMENT: The entertainment stand is found on the patio, fronting the outdoor bar. There are speakers left and right of the stand, but none at the far extremes of the patio left, nor right. And here is the problem. It seems that the vocalists have only two volumes: very loud and very, very loud. On a couple of nights, the female vocalists could best be described as shrieking over the microphone. Perhaps we have a different idea of what live entertainment should present at an appointed restaurant, but I would think management would ask the entertainers for a bit more subtle nuance in selection and volume. After all, we are not munching sliders at a college bar on Austin's sixth street. Yelpers, this is a very popular restaurant, which clearly ticks all the boxes for some diners. Here however are our suggestions. Best to visit for lunch: the indoor seating is not as noisy as during the dinner hour, and the menu items seem more consistent in cook...perhaps as the chef is not as hurried as the evening service? If wanting patio seating, ask for a table AWAY from the entertainment stand: the volume of the performers could definitely detract from the dining experience. And unless one actually prefers fishes finished to "well", we would eschew these menu items. We haven't forsaken this trattoria, as we have had some delicious menu items, and we are optimistic that consistency in offerings will prevail. We so enjoy patio dining experience, and in truth, the patio is frankly, inviting. The lunch service does offer a bit better option in some ways, and for this we will definitely return. Be well Yelpers!

Food, drinks, service, and live entertainment were all amazing. This was our first time here. Everything was delicious and our bartender/server was great.

Had an amazing meal recently at Renzo's! I stopped in during happy hour (3-6pm) and sat at the bar. The restaurant was empty around 3:15, so middle day is the perfect time to grab some happy hour goodies after the lunch and before the dinner crowd. The margarita was definitely interesting, not my favorite, but I'm glad I tried something different! I had an old fashioned as well and it was a bit sweet for my taste, but still executed well. The pasta was AMAZING! I literally ate the entire plate and that is very rare for me. I just couldn't get enough! Beautiful ambiance. The staff were friendly and attentive. I'd love to go back around dinner time to experience the night vibe as well.

Had dinner here for our anniversary celebration and was modestly disappointed. 3 is a bit harsh but 4 would be too generous so let's call it a 3.5 experience. We had the meatball app and a salad which were both just OK. The meatballs were cold and lacked flavor. The pork tenderloin was cut too thin and was very dry. A thicker cut would give the dish a chance to maintain more of the flavor that a tenderloin is known for. The Tuna steak was prepared properly but is more like what you get at a BJs or Chilis. The presentation of the food was actually good and was much better than the taste. The inside dinning area is small and crowded with limited tables. Service was acceptable and waitstaff were friendly. My expectation was for an upscale dinning experience but it fell short, in my opinion. With so many other Italian restaurants nearby, this one drops down the list for a repeat.

We were immediately greeted with an open door, friendly folks here. There were only about a dozen tables inside, bar seating and a larger area outside. The food was very good, wish they would have offered bread for the table but they did bring some upon request. We were pleasantly surprised by the live music and he was really really good (Andrew Lopez Music). Ample parking in the large lot for the businesses there in that complex.

This place is great! I think about this pasta often, the beet carpaccio was ok, but the pasta omg. Service was also great throughout the meals and we did not feel rushed. I can't wait to diner here again.!

What is NOT to love about this place??? The food! The drinks! The ambiance! The service! My oh my what a treat this is... a true gem. The pesto chicken is probably one of the best pizzas I've had in San Antonio... and the meatballs... insanely good! They had happy hour all day every day for the month of August and their cucumber martinis never do me wrong (see pics, I don't lie lol) Kendall makes the best cucumber martinis - go check him out at the bar! Everything is so dang delicious and tasty and fresh and everyone is so sweet and helpful and welcoming! You all need to visit asap like tomorrow like yesterday even. Can't wait to come back and gain 5 more happy pounds :)

We were hungry for Italian, and Renzo's appeared as an Italian restaurant nearby. It is in the Living Spaces parking lot. We walked up with a view of the outdoor seating and bar, a charming appeal. They opened the door and welcomed us in. We were seated immediately. Our server was prompt and provided the daily specials. My husband ordered lasagne, and I ordered the butternut squash penne pasta. We split the Mediterranean salad. The salad was light and crisp, and our entrees were delicious. We also tried the delightful expresso martini. The service and food were on point, and we thoroughly enjoyed our spontaneous lunch. We plan to return to try other menu items. Definitely worth a try for dinner, happy hour, or football.

I LOVE this restaurant!! I keep going back. Amazing food, great service and cool ambiance. Their brunch is great and dinner is even better. If you go for brunch, get the mimosa with guava juice. If you go for dinner, get the Pork Marsala or Chicken Parmesan. Best Tiramisu I've ever had!

We'd been hearing so many things about Renzo's, we finally made our way over to the Living Spaces parking lot to check it out. We were somewhat surprised by how small and sparsely decorated the place was. They have a huge mural along the back wall that added a little extra something to it. Our server was Dallas and she was great! We ordered the meatballs and Dallas convinced us to get the bread to go with them. No arm twisting needed! The meatballs arrived, brought to our table by a runner. They looked great, but he didn't bring the bread. By the time the bread arrived, the meatballs had cooled down. For entrees, we ordered the short rib ravioli and a cacio e pepe with grilled shrimp added. The ravioli was more than al dente, a bit too firm for a good mouthfeel. The cacio e pepe was unlike any I'd ever had, and not in a good way. Watery, with a milky flavor and a hint of what tasted like chicken broth or bouillon. Not very cheesy tasting either. Had to flag down someone to ask for more "pepe" and cheese to add flavor. The tiramisu was excellent. Needless to say, overall, everything was just ok and we didn't think anything about the experience was good enough for a repeat visit.

| Food - Brunch | Everything we had was amazing. The Buffalo Burrata was excellent, the mozzarella, tomatoes, olive oil and basil drizzle were a perfect combination and it all tasted very fresh. The Beet Carpaccio is a stunner on the plate and it was as delicious as it looked. The Frittata was cooked perfectly with a fluffy texture that melted in my mouth. The bacon was perfection, meaty and crispy...not too thin and not too thick. (I'm very bacon particular). | Drinks | We were all wowed by are beautiful looking drinks when they arrived and everyone was pleased. I enjoyed my Matera Spritz (aperol, prosecco, juices) so much, I had two. | Ambiance | Tucked in a strip mall, you wouldn't guess how nice it is inside with elaborate wallpaper, cute decor and artfully arranged seating. This is a good place for a larger party. | Service | The service here is top notch. We were a large party and the service was seamless. Our water glasses were always full, and if we just thought about something it seemed like our server appeared. The pacing of our appetizers and entrees was perfect.

My wife and I started out with the Beet Carpaccio a very light and delicious appetizer. I tried their Flower Girl drink which was refreshing and delicious. For my main dish I ordered the Carbonara which was delicious and the perfect serving size as I was satisfied but not stuffed. Our server was attentive and did a great job. While I took the wife here for Mother's Day, it is now on my list for "Date Night" restaurants to go to.

Solid 4 stars for our anniversary dinner last night. Traffic was a beat down and it took forever to get there, but that obviously wasn't their fault. It is located right in front of the Living Spaces store, so very convenient if you want to do a little furniture shopping before or after (we chose to walk the store after to burn off at least a few of the calories, lol). The building is nice and new, with a large patio for outdoor seating. We chose to eat inside as it was rather windy and humid outside. The inside is pretty and pleasant, but there are no buffers for sound, so it got very loud in there by the time we were leaving and dinner was in full swing. We were seated immediately at a 2 top by the door, which was a very small table indeed. There was nowhere to put my purse, so it had to go on the floor, which I hate. It took a few minutes for our server to come take our drink orders, but that gave us time to peruse the cocktail offerings, so I don't mind that at all. I got the Flower Child, and it was one of the top 2 cocktails I have ever had! So, so delicious, with a depth of flavor not often found in mixed drinks. Layers of sweet, tangy, bitter, and smooth were the perfect accompaniment to my meal. We ordered the beet carpaccio to start along with a basket of "garlic" bread. The beets were absolutly delicious, and we cleaned that plate! Paper thin beets topped with micro greens and creamy, mild goat cheese were a great way to start the meal. The garlic bread was a real let down. It was a small "loaf" for $3 with the tiniest smear of garlic butter along the bottom of the bread. Would not buy that again, was not worth it. For our meals we chose the Verdure pasta and the Gnocci with chicken. Both were absolutely fantastic! Those two dishes would get a full 5 stars on their own. Creamy, savory sauces with a plethora of pasta and toppings. The chicken was surprisingly delicous. It was obviously wood fired and the smoky flavor was delectable and not overpowering while the meat was still tender and juicy. The gnocci was a little salty, but not so much that it was off putting, and my husband ate every bite of it, so that alone says volumes. For dessert we got the tiramisu and panna cotta. The tiramisu is served in a playful glass mug and was very good. The cream was light and the espresso was present without being overwhelming. The panna cotta was disappointing. The berry sauce on top had not been strained and so was full of seeds, which kept getting caught in my husband's teeth. The panna cotta itself was good, but was far too firm, giving it an almost chewy texture. We did not finish it. Our meal was right at $100 before tip, which isn't bad for the amount of food we got. If we went back we would not order as much, and would likely be more in the $50-60 range, which is acceptable for a non-special occasion meal.

Great find and a much needed break from the usual. There is a ton of parking. Atmosphere is modern but smart. There is about an equal divide between indoor and outdoor seating, along with a handful of bar seats. Wine menu has several wines rated 90+ points by Wine Spectator. The wine and cocktail menus is focused but more than adequate. Wifey and I are usually winos, but we opted for their speciality cocktails--delicious. Apps were fantastic: burrata, bread, and calamari. She had a seafood pasta dish and I ravioli with short rib meat. Service is excellent. The only negative is the noise level: it's just too damned loud. This can easily improve with sound absorption so that patrons can speak easily.

Had the most wonderful evening at Renzo's. The alfresco dining and live music were very enjoyable. The patio offers eclectic seating from traditional outdoor tables/chairs to sofas, comfy chairs, coffee tables and even an outdoor sectional. Renzo's would be a perfect date night dining option or just because you need a meal place. The food is elevated but the restaurant is somewhat casual. The portions are large, some would say shareable. Dinner for 4 was around $300.00. We had the following: basket of bread (which they usually charge for but I believe they made extra and gave it to us gratis). We all agreed the bread was fresh, buttery and delicious. At the suggestion of our server Michael, we then moved to the Buffalo Burrata. The fresh flavors of the mozzarella, and mix of arugula were mouth watering. Entrée selections were Verdure, Bolognese, Grilled Ribeye, and Lasagna Bolognese. We all agreed our dishes were good. My husband originally ordered the Filetto Renzo, but once he learned the cut of meat was a tenderloin, he opted for the Grilled Ribeye. For dessert, we selected the chocolate cake ( which is not yet on the menu), tiramisu and coffee. The chocolate cake had mixed reviews, my personal favorite was the made daily, in house tiramisu. We will definitely be back. Everything was great and we hope Renzo's is around for a long time. I can hardly wait to have the Buffalo Burrata again.

New restaurant in the local area. So new, cannot locate on google. Cozy & casual with class restaurant. Wait staff is friendly & provides great recommendations. Food was promptly served. Bread was fresh, enough garlic & butter to pop. Portions are a good size to fill your belly & some left overs. Lasagne bolognese scrumptious, hot & spot on. The Verdure, with grilled chicken delicious & portion was rather large. Flavors amazing & seasoned perfectly. The only thing which could have been better was the Calamari, seemed too chewy. Aside from would definitely recommend & return.

I feel so bad for having to write this review, especially because I'm a huge small business supporter and fellow foodie. Whenever a new small business opens up in town, especially near me, I try to show my support and visit, and put them on my social media as well. Unfortunately I really couldn't do that this time. We had a reservation and were happy to be seated immediately, but it took a while for our order to be taken. The first time he came was almost immediately as we were seated and we were being asked to order without looking at the menu, so we asked for more time, but weren't expecting an hour longer. Maybe he was new and overwhelmed, so I get it. The food came out a while after and we were famished. Dug right in. My food was cold and lacking flavor and my friends said the same thing for their pastas. Really unfortunate. We tried to ask for condiments to make the food work but it just wasn't our cup of tea. I'm really confused by this establishment, especially because others have given it high marks. But that's exactly why I felt so inclined to write this post. Just know what to expect. You might be one of the yelpers raving about this spot, or you might've wished you hadn't come. The two stars is because its a pretty nice spot. Seating is a little hard but I did like their lighting and back wall and I feel like that deserves something.

Cute new spot on the northwest side of town. The place looks lovely for sure - the wall mural, the bar, the decor. I went during lunch so not sure what the night vibes are but it's a great spot for lunch. They've got a mid sized dining room + a cute covered patio! Food was good - their burrata was very tasty as was their tomato soup! The Italian panini left something to be desired but was still tasty. Looking forward to trying more menu items!

My hubs and I tried Renzo's for our Anniversary dinner. The restaurant has inside seating, bar area and outside patio seating. Everyone was friendly. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a few fancy drinks. They were delicious. The bartender also gave us a lavender mule as he was creating new drinks- it was yum. We had the meatballs for an appetizer and they were delicious. We shared a pepperoni and cheese pizza and it was pretty good too. We would come here again.

Delightful!!! That is the word to describe my Sunday brunch this past weekend. There were nine of s and they accommodated us no problem. The inside is so cute and quaint. Everyone was pleased with their food and drink orders. I HIGHLY recommend this business.

I have been to Renzo's numerous times now. I have enjoyed every dish i tried! Really great drinks and food... the staff is top notch. It IS i bit on the expensive side. I don't like paying for bread with my Italian meal... but is it a deal breaker... not sure, time will tell!

I had the noodles with the sauce. The sauce literally had no taste. Ordered chicken with the noodles Waitress forgot. She came back 30 minutes later I reminded her.Brought out my chicken cold. Ordered a Caesar salad. Got that 40 minutes later. Order a side of ranch Got that 10 minutes Later. Millennials. Oh, and the hipster chef with the Goat T. Looked like he had an attitude. Are America.

Renzo's is a small Italian bistro with great service and a fun atmosphere. The bread is soft ciabatta and will turn the head of the strongest keto warrior. The pizzas are flavorful and are a meal for two. I had the cacio e pipe, which had plenty of pecorino but could use more pipe and maybe a dash of sea salt. The tiramisu is big enough to be shared, but is served in a mug so you have an excuse to be greedy.

Decided to try Renzo's Monday evening for dinner. We were the only ones there at 5:15PM but it soon got busy. The food was spectacular! I had the Verdure that was far tastier than any Alfredo-type dish I've ever eaten, and my friend had the Bolognese- a traditional dish that was also scrumptious. The service was attentive and cheerful- thank you Drake (sorry if I got your name wrong- I'm terrible about remembering names). Will definitely be going back, and hope we can sit on the nice patio that was too cold the night we were there.

2nd time here and Renzo's did not disappoint, it was delicious! Monday HH 5PM -9PM. I enjoyed the roasted tomato soup, with basil, garlic, goat cheese, crostini, and a rosemary sprig. I wanted to lick the bowl! I also had the meatball pizza with pesto based, ricotta, mozzarella, feta, red onion, artichoke, tomato and meatball, it was amazing! And $6 glasses of Cab!
