Taste: Traditional Gin botanicals of juniper berries, angelica, coriander seeds, lemon and orange peels.

We were not impressed. I made the resdivisions well and advance for 4 people for dining and we were stuck outside on a cold Wednesday night.The menu is mostly pizzas so if you're looking for pizza it might be a good place to go.The meat lasagna dish was just average. Service was slow.
Renee's TucsonResponded 3 days agoLynn.You booked your own reservation for "outdoor dining" You booked on Monday for Saturday your visit was on 3/18This is normal timeframe for making reservations;As stated when booking you must select your seat, and you may not change that upon arrival, also states the weather is something we unfortunately can't control.We serve 50/50 pizza to pasta,I am though so sorry you didnt enjoy.It's a top item here, perfect for a chilly day, takes time to bake, your server could not have changed that.

Renee's TucsonResponded 3 days agoJanet, Thank you for the feedback on our newest team member! Glad to know you enjoyed the outdoor seating even though it was a bit chilly on 3/18, those heaters are lovely, that breeze though can be a a bit much, every once in a while. It's awesome to know you were able to enjoy your time here. We hope to see you again soon.

Wonderful service, food was absolutley amazing! Love the boutique tiny intimaite setting! Not for large family groups though, just not the space for it. So many food options from wide variety of even salad choices! The bread was to die for!! Pizza although not wood fired was a straight 9 soooo good! Lovely evening. Would definately go again if over on that side of town. It does book up because of size so definately make reservations if possible.

As my wife Mary and I commented to the staff (Bailey) our experience was wonderful. We appreciate excellent service and food at restaurants, since it is really rare to find. After living in the Dallas Metroplex for over 40 years where there were lots of very good restaurants, we moved to Las Cruces, NM. where that is not the case. So finding your restaurant experience very enjoyable. Thanks for a wonderful evening out. Ken Steigman

My husband and I had dinner here for our 50th anniversary. Our kids had called ahead and arranged for Prosecco to be poured after we sat down and for them to pay for our meal. Everything was perfect! The waitress was delightful and the food was beyond perfection! We sat comfortably on the patio. Although a lot of people were having pizza and picking up pizza for take out we had entrees and couldn’t have been happier. Thanks Renee!!

Renee's is my husband's and my new great find. The food is outstanding. We have enjoyed their greek salad (amazing feta dressing), beef lasagna (best we've ever tasted) and their pizza (glorious crispy crust). It is obvious that great care is taken in using fresh ingredients and perfecting their recipes. Renee herself is extremely pleasant and friendly and our waitress, Baylee, gave us top notch service along with her great personality. Love Renee's!

We sat inside in a booth that was secluded, nicely lit, and quiet. The service could not have been better and the food was excellent. We were especially pleased that this restaurant is really vegan friendly. It's difficult to find a nice restaurant with nice date-night ambiance that's vegan friendly. And even with an appetizer, two main courses, and a glass of wine, the bill was under $60. We'll definitely be back.

We were visitors to Tucson and saw this was a highly recommended restaurant. Food is good but they have very limited seating. We thought we were going to a nice Italian restaurant but ended up freezing on the patio. This is a better place for pickup or delivery.
Renee's TucsonResponded on March 7, 2023Kelly, Thank you for coming to our nice, highly rated Italian restaurant and pizzeria. You booked outdoors, and wrote in the guest notes you wanted indoors. That is not an option, as it states when booking "we are very small and also that indoors booking may Not request outside and that outdoor booking may Not request indoors. This is clearly stated when booking and in the confirmation. All the private dining booths were fully booked thus unavailable to you. I of course wish you left happier.

The food was good but not spectacular. We ate outside in a nice area but again nothing special. It's located in a strip mall. The server was absolutely the best! Go if it's convenient.
Renee's TucsonResponded on March 7, 2023Natalie I am glad you enjoyed me serving you, ya'll were great too. I wish I would have known you did not love everything, I would have prepared you something else for you to love. We are delighted to all who travel to come here, locals from the neighborhood, those who carryout and take us home to enjoy. We know we could be fancier/ not in a strip mall but we know the price you pay now is for quality of food and service and adding a premium location to that price tag would outprice many diners.

Best vegan Italian! It’s not a vegan restaurant but boy do they accommodate! We started with Aperol Spritzes to set the mood. Vegan Crush pizza is my favorite - so yummy and no fake cheese. Avocado salad with vegan focaccia was delish - how do you get the bread so crispy on the outside and so pillowy on the inside? Vegan penne with pesto was also good, and for desert we shared ginger Bundt cake with cinnamon glaze. It’s pricy but worth it. Also it was very cold out, but we sat outside and the heaters kept us nice and toasty. We will be back!
Renee's TucsonResponded on March 7, 2023It is so nice to read such a great review of a guests experience. Thank you for being here and taking time to share your menu recommendations and satisfaction! Not going to share any bread secrets...our dough person is pretty special and that dough started 18 years ago and he has been for 10 plus of them, He took it up like creating masterpiece and we are all reaping the rewards. I love those heaters too! Renee

only thing I could suggest is salt.... It brings out the flavors, pizza dough, maybe add some or a little more but salt is not the enemy.
Renee's TucsonResponded on March 7, 2023James, I hear you and appreciate your sense of taste. Please know we built these recipes and have been reliably serving them up for 18 years. Most feedback is on they love the very difference you are not in love with. We will modify any meal you order to have more salt, in addition we have high quality salt available for you add to taste. We do have salt in our dough and focaccia, we did mention it to the bread maker to check just incase something was off. Thank you for being here1 Renee

Great food and even better service. The restaurant is incredibly small so make sure you have a reservation. I came here while traveling but it would be a great spot for an intimate dinner.
