    My family and I absolutely love Renatos. It’s a cozy, home-style neighborhood restaurant with delicious pizzas and top-quality pastas. The aglio olio is a standout favorite, but nearly everything on the menu is exceptionally tasty. Their tiramisu is, without a doubt, the best in town. The restaurant exudes a nostalgic charm, reminiscent of a bygone era when life was slower, food was better, and you knew the names of the owners and waiters at your favorite dining spots.

    My fiancé and I ideal spot for date night. We've been eating old man Mario's (head chef) food here for the last few years and the service is always great even on a busy night.

    Our new favorite spot for comfort food, Lasagne and Quattro pizza was great, service was prompt and the music set the scene. It was like we were back in Italy. Italian done right ✅️

    Not quite the same as it used to be which is quite obvious seeing empty tables. People used to queue up outside to get a seat. My biggest disappointment is that they no longer serve anchovies. Hopefully they will reintroduce them. Otherwise all good.

    Hi Ian, so sorry about the disappointment, unfortunately, NONE of our import suppliers have Anchovies at the moment but we're sure it won't be long till we're stocked up again.
