Renee's Tucson: Reviews & Ratings
Wow! Highly recommend this restaurant. If all I had gotten was the spinach artichoke dip- I would’ve gone home happy. It was fantastic. We also got two different pizzas that were delicious. Did I mention it was all gluten free? service was quick and friendly, food was fresh and delightful, and the ambiance was great. Definitely worth making a reservation bc it’s a small spot. We will be back!!
A very pleasant experience! Staff was friendly, server was attentive and nice. Menu had many good options in my opinion. We both really enjoyed our dishes. We ate on the patio which wasnt too hot by dinner time (20% discount is offered for summer patio seating which was a nice little bonus). Went indoors once to use the restroom, it is quite small inside (maybe 6-8 booths and a couple tables), decoration was simple yet unique, really added to the aesthetics. Would totally come here again!
Celebrated Valentines day one day late. Maybe the best Italian meal either of have ever eaten. Drove from Las Vegas to Tucson, primarily to revisit this experience. Flawless service performed by Renee, herself. Everything was perfect.
Wow, what a little gem! We so enjoyed our meal tonight at Renee's. This small restaurant has 5 inside tables and 4 outside, and is in a strip mall. Definitely make a reservation in advance so you get a table. It's worth planning ahead. We started by splitting a salad and the spinach artichoke dip with toasted gluten free baguette. Oh my goodness! Right off the bat, I'm in heaven. Not just any GF bread, but a delicious baguette can be added to almost anything. Then we got our entrees, pizza and the baked chicken breast over zucchini zoodles. It was from the "light" menu section, which isn't quite accurate, since it's drenched in a cream sauce. Certainly not light, but oh so good I didn't care. (Even with lactose intolerance!) I would like to see that made a little more clear on the menu, but I'm still glad I got it. My husband loved his pizza. Our dessert was amazing too. Most are gluten free. My husband liked the lemon custard, but it's not GF. The flourless chocolate cake was light and creamy, made even better with the cherries and cinnamon whipped cream. Totally impressed with everything we got. I was surprised by the limited alcohol selection though. Several beers and wines, but only 3 mixed drinks. Thankfully the old fashioned and desert sunset (not sure on the exact name) were really good. I was so impressed that I'll be back anytime I'm remotely in the area. I'd even drive from the Phoenix area to eat here. It really is that good. I think they need a bigger restaurant, but they like it small and do lots of takeout. Don't miss this one if you're GF. So many options including pizza and pasta. Gluten eaters will be equally as happy.
Renee’s was a great selection for dinner! Renee actually took my order. She was very patient and showed me every item on the menu that had a vegan alternative. I was also offered a glass of water while I waited for my vegan Old Town pizza. I can tell there was a great amount of thought put into the decor. The dim lights and the soft music give the restaurant an intimate ambiance. This is definitely the place to go for date night or perhaps to get work done in peace. My pizza was fresh, light, and appetizing. I will be back. Thank you Renee and staff!
Love this place for their food and happy hour! The restaurant itself is located in a plaza and from the outside it looks normal. Inside there are limited seating options and you may be placed right next to the cashier which may feel uncomfortable with other people waiting. Definitely recommend getting a reservation if you come on the weekend. In terms of food I love their Pesto pasta and apple salad with poppy seed dressing! I enjoy coming here during their happy hour when I don’t feel like cooking dinner and I have never been disappointed. Would recommend to others in the area to at least try their happy hour menu items.
Excellent!! We ordered the Caprese- which was the best! Chicken Alfredo & Spinach Dip Calzone! Wow! Everything was AmaZing* & our experience of dining, decor & drinks * & meeting the owner Even better! Thank you for a wonderful night! We will be back!
Back again. Server SP was wonderful!! Came for the vegan options! And garlic knots. Fantastic service fantastic food. Vegan options and many things can be veganized. Cool mural inside. Absolutely get the vegan calzone. It is delicious and so fluffy. They do not charge for vegan cheese, which is a huge plus.
