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.

Disappointed... Renzo's has some improvements to make. Had a reservation for a party of 10. Our tables were cramped with barely enough space for small plates and glasses. The entrees were overpriced small portions and lacked flavor.

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!

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.

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.

Picked this restaurant due to the excellent yelp reviews but sadly it missed all the marks when it came to the food & drinks. The ambiance of this establishment is very elevated and inviting with beautiful decor, outdoor seating & live music. The service is great. Our waitress was very nice & attentive. That's where the good ends. They were playing EDM/techno music inside which was off putting and didn't evoke the relaxing environment I'm used to when dining at an Italian restaurant. To start I just wanted a side Caesar salad only to find that they don't serve side salads? The waitress told us there was only the full size and of course would be charged full price? I was very confused but decided to just go with it. The food did not taste the slightest bit authentic. Not to be dramatic but the pizza tasted like digorno & my carbonara tasted like Campbells chicken noodles. No complexity of flavors just..salt. It's not often that I don't finish my meal especially at this price point but I couldn't even finish it was so bad. Even my cocktail was disappointing. I couldn't finish that either. I tried ordering a nice wine to save the meal. The waitress was gracious enough to let me try a few but to no avail. All bad. Let's be honest, people come here for the "rich" atmosphere, NOT the food.

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.

WOW!!!I have been to Reno’s many times before and always a great experience! ImNot one to write reviews but in this case, I needed to! I recently held my engagement party here on the patio. Everything from the food, the service, the atmosphere was incredible! Countless times throughout my party my guest absolutely RAVED to me about the quality of the food, the cocktails and the service provided by our waitstaff! Miguel and Adriana were so accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly and nothing was amiss during the party - they made me feel like family! I cannot wait to return & will endlessly return for the delicious food, drinks and quality that is Reno’s!

Terrible place and terrible customer service. We had made a reservation for Saturday night for a birthday dinner for a party of 8 people. We called early in the week (on a Tuesday)to make the reservation. When we showed up to the restaurant they said they had no record of the reservation. Flora was the one who attended us and was of no help whatsoever. Very disorganized staff. They showed zero sympathy for their mistake and told us we would just have to wait at least an hour for a table. Save your money and time and don’t come to this place.

Service and atmosphere are what you come here for ? The food was well prepared, just kinda mehhh if I'm being honest ?Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I had the pizza and chicken pasta to share. Everything was very fresh and beautifully cooked. Plating looks like it came out of a Food Network program. Unfortunately, flavors just seemed to miss and didn't have me fighting for more. My wife had the salmon salad, and she absolutely loved it.The restaurant is in a very small space and feels like you're in an Italian mother's dining room. The patio looked very nice, but it was too cold to be out there on our visit. I can imagine this being the place to be when the weather heats up. Looks like a great place to have some wine and order a snack.I'll give it a try again and explore the menu a little more.Parking: Huge parking lot
Second time here, excellent service, food and atmosphere, superb tiramisu, burrata

First of all, WOW!! My mom and I stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant for a small lunch after hours of furniture shopping close by. We were seated with Ricky who took exceptional care of us and educated us thoroughly on the menu and cocktail/wine list. I had a Valentine's special which was some variation of a cheese ravioli and it was divine! Fast forward to this past weekend, we decided to take my in-laws there for dinner. We were so blown away! We were seated on the patio (with heaters available) and I requested Ricky again because of his wonderful service and he did not disappoint. He is pleasant, friendly, and very attentive. Everything you could want in a server! (Thanks Ricky!) There was live music and dim lighting which just added to the ambiance of the entire evening. We all enjoyed our appetizers, cocktails, main dishes and of course dessert. If you are looking for a restaurant to wow friends and family or a date night spot, look no further! Renzo's has it all. We cannot wait to come back. Also shout out to the bartenders...the espresso martini changed my life! Any other espresso martini pales in comparison.

The beet cocktail, clarified margarita, tomato soup, pepperoni pizza, short rib ravioli, exotic mushroom ravioli, bolognese, & meatballs are so good!!!! Cute place too love the lemons on the patio Highly recommend!

Marjan and I have now visited Renzo's for the fourth time. Here is our composite impression of now, one of our favorite eateries. We visited this Friday evening, and chose seating on the patio. As usual, the venue is filled with patrons, and we, without reservation, were seated at the outside bar. We were immediately greeted by Monique, the bar/waitress, taking our order for apertifs: dirty martini. As our readers may know, Marjan and I are committed fans of this vodka based cocktail, and in truth, Monique did very good service to this traditional cocktail. If you should visit, should Monique stand in preparation...go for the dirty apertif!! So, seated outside, notice that the proprietors have placed clear plastic sheeting around the patio area, protecting diners from yet a chill evening breeze. And notice the piano guru, Chris Gurrero, tinkling the piano keys, crooning lounge interpretations of requests from the guests. The ambience was so...so...satisfying. We began our evening with the Renzo appetizer of meatballs: two protein globes, settled midst a tomato based sauce. For our wanting palates, the dish was excellent. We chose pizza, Marjan's choice this Friday evening: the Renzo's vegetarian pizza. But, forgive the deviation, for we wanted protein, so we added Canadian bacon as topping. The menu told of carmelized onions, and our impression was that other toppings would be so prepared. In truth, the onion, the bell pepper were added uncooked, nestled adjacent to black olives. The goat cheese added pleasing substance, and the base bread was just delicious. So, our only dissatisfaction was with the onion, not carmelized, and the bell pepper, not sauteed. Our preferences, readers may choose to disagree. This follow up visit only cemented our affection for this new restaurant. The staff are uniformly accommodating and professional. Their happy demeanor only adds to the enjoyment. And kudos to the owners for adding the very pleasing musical background for their patrons. And, we would be remiss if we should nor acknowledge the friendly greeting of Ethan, our waiter from our first visit, not our waiter tonight, but ever of such welcoming good cheer! Yelpers, visit Renzo's...we think you will be pleased!!
