"Veronica, our friend Swampy, and I decided to swing by Renato's Italian Ristorante on Sunday afternoon for their Happy Hour, and what a delightful choice it was! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere exuded warmth, and we were greeted with genuine hospitality by the staff. Jim, our bartender, deserves special mention for his impeccable cocktail-making skills.As we settled in, we couldn't resist indulging in some of Renato's signature dishes. The lasagna was a true highlight, boasting layers of flavor that left us craving more. Even Swampy, known for his carnivorous preferences, couldn't resist and polished off every last bite. The Ahi tuna was equally impressive, tantalizing our taste buds with its freshness and exquisite seasoning. "Additionally, we couldn't overlook the garlic knots, which were simply the best we've ever had. Perfectly baked and oozing with garlic butter.Our experience at Renato's was nothing short of memorable. The combination of delicious food, attentive service, and cozy ambiance made for a perfect afternoon outing. Swampy even vowed to make Renato's his go-to spot whenever he's in the mood for Italian cuisine.If you're looking to elevate your afternoon, evening, or night with exceptional food and a welcoming atmosphere, Renato's Italian Ristorante is the place to be."

I've always wanted to try Renatos and luckiliy our plans changed and we ended up here to celebrate my birthday. Tammy the server was delightful; a real pro! Food was excellent. Accidentally, a take home box was thrown away so they made a complete new dinner. In today's economy every dollar counts and Renatos will not disappoint! We will be back!

Overcharged me for a dish I purchased for takeout. I called the restaurant and they said the owner would call to reimburse me. Owner never called so I called back and was told she would call. Still never called, never reimbursed, not planning on going back as there are so many other restaurants to choose from. Try Santos for a casual Italian dinner with the best pizza, best sauce and best meatballs, along with so many other fabulous items. Just saying! I have no affiliation with Santos, just really like the people and the food.

There was an inviting energy upon entering. The service was pretty good. My issue is that they covered my pasta in fake Parmesan cheese, which is essentially salt and powdered milk. I had to ask them to add it ( under the impression that it was real Parm). However, It was inedible afterwards. I was under the impression that $27 pasta buccatini would come with real Parmesan cheese-Parmigiana Reggiano. But alas a fail.

The most amazing service and food on off-peak hours! This restaurant is clean,the staff attentive, and the drinks unparalleled. This is my husband and my go to 2 to 3 times a week.
This place was lovely and the food DELISH! So many seating choices -cozy inside dining or sitting by the bar near pizza oven, outside bar tables, deck dining, live music, warm and friendly staff. They have it all.Come with a group of 8 that became a group of 12 (which they accommodated graciously). We All agree-Definitely coming here again!!

Best thin crust pizza in Martin County based on my time at Pepe's and Salle's', Wooster St. New Haven, CT. With Renato in the kitchen everything is delicious. This is not a spaghetti and meatballs pizzeria Italian restaurant. They will make white clam pizza for those enjoy this New England specialty. Service is very good. It's getting busy down here with many of the snowbirds arriving early so be patient. Last but not least, the bar. Friendly bartenders greet you by name and are great about introducing you to people- it's fun, plus they make a good pour Combo music Friday and Saturday with room for dancing. Makes reservations and enjoy!

Love the pizza, but also everything else on their menu is delicious. Love the patio where we were able to bring our little Australian Terrier, Bennie, for a pizza date. We had attentive service, even though we were sitting outside. The staff was so kind to provide a plastic dog bowl and cold water in it for Bennie. Good times!
