Renzo's - Saint Petersburg

Seriously, what a gem. Claudio puts a lot of passion and thought into the menu, the staff is really nice, and they have such great food. It's not a big, massive steakhouse like Urban, it's not stuffy like Rococo. It's just a great place to have really good cocktails, wine, and seafood or steak. The quality is always top notch. By far the best steakhouse in St. Pete.

The server was very polite and accommodating during our table service. The restaurant is for celebrating special occasions. The grilled octopus was a nice slightly crisp starter that was a decent size which should be shared. The chickpeas went well with it. In order to try Argentinian barbecue, can't go wrong with beef parrilla although I think it came out more medium than the medium rare I ordered. The best side dish for us was the fried yucca as it was nicely salted and crisp. The aoili was very pleasant on the palate. Since all desserts are made in house, going with something not easily available such as coconut bienmesabe is the perfect ending to a wonderful meal with a great friend. And the espresso martini paired well with this sweet coconut dessert.

Great location in downtown st. PeteThe charcuterie board had a good portion and selection of meats, however the cheese selection was good but portions were surprisingly small. Also it was odd there were no bread or crackers with it. The steak was excellent. I definitely recommend getting something from the steak menu. It was served with chimichanga sauce. We ordered it medium rare it was Cooked perfectly. Also enjoy the mashed potatoes.

Came here on valentines with the wifey. As we walked in I could smell the sizzling shrimp they were cooking. The inside is feels smooth. It's decorated very nicely. The staff were very kind but it's maybe the cooks that screwed up a few things. For example they served us a picante Argentine sausage with a piece of hair on it. They ran out of beef empanadas and chicken empanadas too. We got the picante sausage, all beef parilla, a wine and cocktail and for dessert the flan. As I said before we were disappointed with the sausage because of the hair but they did give us a new one which looked just like the old one but without the hair. The all beef parilla was a mixture of different kinds of beef cuts. They were very delicious. The flan was okay. Super tiny.Overall our experience was good. Meat quality was average. I think it was overpriced for what we got. Definitely a great place for meat lovers tho. Giving them a 3.5.

Huge fan of Renzo's. And for so many good reasons too. The two times we've visited we were sat at the bar without any wait time and greeted with waters immediately. If you're looking for quality and authentic Argentinian steak and wine, stop scrolling. The service is top notch and it does not go unnoticed. Let me elaborate.. The manager went out of his way to provide contact info for a car service during our Argentina vacation in a few months. He absolutely did not need to do that but he did. Let's talk about the eats. Filet medallions are spot on and a great starter of French fries topped with chunks of filet smothered in a herb butter. So much yes. Both times I've ordered their skirt steak recommended medium and wow wow wow. Cooked to perfection and juicy as ever both times and a must order. Maybe one day I'll try the rest of the menu but until then the above will suffice.

I loved how flavorful the burger was omg so freaking good I just wish the patty wasn't so thick but honestly tasted so good! The ambiance and service was good . I wish the menu was lil bigger with some more variety but overall a good experience and the spin on steak frites was good but give people more fries guys!

This restaurant gets all of the details right! From the vibe to the knowledgeable staff down to the chilled beer glasses. Thoroughly enjoyable experience. The service is excellent; very friendly and thorough. I have only been for happy hour (Monday- Friday 5-7) but that HH menu has great deals. Both the filet and salmon montado were fantastic. Would order both again. The happy hour ceviche was a great portion. Few ceviche dishes include octopus, which was great to try. I didn't necessarily love the octopus because it's better cooked than ceviche style. But that's just my preference. The rest of the ceviche was very good, and the plantain chips were an interesting and welcome addition to try. Can't wait to try here again for a full dinner.

Came here for Valentine's Day with a reservation at 5pm when we got there, it was already busy inside. The inside dining is quite small. This place was okay but I think it could've been better. Has a lot of room for improvement. One thing I'd say that needs to be improved is the outside dining situation. It is literally the side walk, and has a very poor lighting. I don't really recommend eating outside for dinner, unless you go there before 7pm for early dinner. Our service was great, and the staff were nice. I also recommend making a reservation before coming in, because the inside seating goes out fast. The food was good. we ordered the All Beef Parilla. However, even with the 4 small pieces of fired charcoal underneath the tray, our food still got super cold quick.. the Picante sausage was good as well, but it was not as spicy as I expected it to be. The flan was okay, although our server told us it didn't have the "gelatin" texture to it, it definitely had that. It wasn't pure milk and eggs typa flan. Don't expect the nice, silky and smooth creamy texture. Overall, this place is okay.. maybe or maybe not I'll give it another go

Had diner there last night. We ordered the shrimp app, fillet app, burrata and a bottle of wine. The service and food were great. It was also a very busy night due to the boat show going on downtown. I was skeptical due to score of 3.7 stars at the time of this post. They exceeded my expectations thankfully, and I will be going back soon.

The food was good. No doubt about that. The service is absolutely horrible. The owner is cutting corners on the staff and it affects the entire experience. We were a large party and there was another large party there as well as regular diners. They had one bartender, one food runner and one lady taking orders. They could not service everyone fast enough. Took them 30 minutes to get us our 2nd round and while we were in the back, the large party up front was consistently getting their drinks served. Hire more staff. You will never succeed when you cheat your customers on service no matter how good your food is.
