I visited Renee's while in town with a friend. I made the reservations, which were surprisingly strict. There is a five-minute grace period. No kids allowed inside. (But ironically felt like a free-for-all outside.) If you book outside, don't dare ask to sit inside per the instructions on the reservation. I've never seen quite such aggressive reservations. They also required a credit card to hold in case we missed our five-minute window. I expected something very different when I pulled up to... a strip mall. Anyway.. We opted to sit outside, which is a small seating area on the sidewalk of said strip mall (next to the Little Shop of Hairdos!). The ambiance was... fine, if you don't mind headlights in your face while eating and the brilliant view of Walgreen's across the street. (Normally this wouldn't matter at all but for the insanely aggressive reservations making it hilarious.)Food wise, it was mostly just ok for me. We ordered garlic knots to start, and they were drier and had less flavor than I expected. For an entree, I had spaghetti that was covered in a little bit of cheese and baked. From the description, I expected more cheese and baked in a ramekin like the lasagna. The sauce was incredibly acidic, so I couldn't even eat my whole portion that night as it irritated my mouth. My friend had the lasagna, which was big enough for three people. I wish there were more options for small portions because we couldn't take the leftovers since we were traveling. Since lasagna is a limited item (there were two left by 6:20pm), smaller portions could feed more people. And I would be remiss to not mention how unbelievably slow the pace of the meal was. This place is small, just three or so tables inside and maybe five outside, but everything took. for. ever. Getting our order taken, getting our drinks, getting our appetizer, even checking out. At one point I thought maybe they had forgotten the appetizer, but no... it was just that slow. It was very different than I expected. Not terrible, but... different. ,

A small Bistro in Tucson that has authentic Italian food. Meat lasagna is a standout. Also, in very high demand and should be ordered in advance. I'm a fan of the pesto penne and the Arabi pasta. They have an excellent happy hour. That is takeout only Monday through Friday 3 PM to 530 Note well.

The answer to the question, "what went well?" is easy to answer. Everything. The food (the meatballs & marinara sauce appetizer, the apple, walnuts & goat cheese salad, the calzone, and lemon posset for dessert), service, and ambiance were all fantastic! Highly recommended.

I feel like I have already reviewed Renee's but apparently not! This is MY PLACE for an amazing meal without worry. That dang Celiac hinders my dining out quite a bit but NOT at Renee's. You have to OpenTable because it's small. Four booths (I think) and outdoor tables, weather permitting. It's absolutely worth whatever Renee implements in order to have a quiet but happy meal. The staff LOVE working there which is a sign that she is on to something special. I recommend everything on the menu. She has an excellent selection of wines and the GF baguettes are so yummy. It's a great place to get to gather and actually be able to talk to each other. She has takeout too, which I also recommend if you can't get a reservation. Think ahead y'all, she's very popular!

We had a wonderful experience at Renee's. We did make a reservation in advance. The salads were made fresh and very flavorful! I really enjoyed the apple walnut one. Both entrees were delicious. Highly recommend adding chicken to the fettuccine Alfredo. The chocolate cake was a little rich for my personal taste but still delicious! It was the perfect place for a romantic evening. Between the fabulous service and low light ambiance we couldn't have asked for a better night!

This is our go-to neighborhood restaurant with intimate seating both indoors and outdoors and delicious pizza and calzones (try the spinach/artichoke/green chile version). The service is fast and friendly, and you can't go wrong with the food. They offer vegetarian and vegan options too.
