Super friendly service. We shared a salad and meatball appetizer, then moved on to the entrees. We got the meat lasagna and a pizza. The selection of unique pizzas was very interesting, the Thai Chicken pizza was phenomenal. Regular crust was chewy and delicious. Finally, we split a cheesecake with Luxardo cherries. We paired everything with local Button Brewery Pale Ale.

First time at Renee's and we'll be back! This small eclectic restaurant is a gem. There are just a few tables inside so reserve early. The Drinks: a very interesting cocktail and spirits menu - not a full bar and the Manhattan was top-rate! The Service: Renee (yes, the owner) provided amazing service - friendly, prompt, and informative. The Food: we started with a Caprese Board with focaccia so light it almost floated off the plate! Entrees were Zucchini Noodle Pasta Primavera & Ravioli with house-made pesto and the added spinach & garlic (warning - you must like garlic). Both were delish! We aren't vegan but there are plenty of vegan options on the menu. Renee's pizza must be amazing judging by the stream of people picking up orders to go! Special Note: The table booked ahead of us was running late so Renee seated us in the entry with a cocktail and menu to browse while we waited... just 10 minutes. Once at our table, Renee brought us a complimentary Caprese Board as a thank you for our patience.

Fun dining with tasty, gourmet-level salads, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. Limited inside seating (three booths) made for a special birthday dinner with my wife of 53 years. Visual touches at concierge and booth set the atmosphere for a pleasant dining experience. Renée helped us decide from a comprehensive menu selection thru helpful, detailed recommendations. Highly recommend!

Renee's TucsonResponded on May 6, 2022
MK Thank you for celebrating your special day with us! I understand that you had the vegan & gluten free bundt cake it is a different less fluffy texture. I am so sorry you didn't get to end your meal with a dessert to your liking. It is the only dessert I hesitate to recommend unless needed as it is a notable texture difference. I appreciate your feedback and knowing you had a great experience.

We ordered the meat lasagna….worst I have ever had…the dish consisted of mozzarella cheese..a can of tomato paste ..noodles…half a chopped up meatball and no ricotta…$18.00 for $2.00 worth of ingredients ….all of owners relatives and friends must submit glowing reviews for one of the Most overrated places in town
Renee's TucsonResponded on May 6, 2022
wow. This is the most insulting review I have read and felt for our restaurant. You are insinuating something very inappropriate. You must dine to review on opentable,With a 99% recommendation to return including one from you? However, I am sorry the meat lasagna was not made properly that shift. We will train on that and all will be well. That is one of most ordered items, local beef from the rancher to our door for years now, homemade pasta and marinara with ricotta and mozzarella.

Actually we were disappointed due to our favorite dishes were not available. The kitchen was out of pesto, so we settled on a pizza with curry. We will return but will make sure the pesto is available.
Renee's TucsonResponded on May 5, 2022
Elvira, we are so sorry. It's true we did run out of basil thus pesto and pesto.Our 8cases arrived today. It is so sad to have that impact your experience so greatly, we never like to disappoint. It is also concerning to have our rating reflected so low because of this. Sometimes we can run to the store in this case for the amount of basil needed this was not possible for dinner last night. Please know we are trying to stay on top of a changed market unfortunately we do run out from time to time

Christopher, yes we are a pasta and pizza dominant menu with what we think are quite a diverse option of salads, appetizers, desserts and carb friendly choices. I am delighted you enjoyed what we prepared and hope to do so again for you when our menu speaks to your food mood.

The veg lasagna was not tasty. It was fairly tasteless. I had to add black pepper and red pepper to add some flavor. The "everything" pizza was OK, but not good for the price. The non-meat toppings were not blended into the pizza. These toppings were added on the pizza and appeared not to be cooked together with the pizza's meat toppings. The food is fresh and it was cooked on the spot; hence, it may take a little longer than usual for the food to be served. I recommend ordering an appetizer, particularly if hungry, because Renee's does not provide any complimentary bread.

Hello, Please know we certainly do offer focaccia upon request. It is organic, house - made and free of charge. We also offer entire orders of bread baked for you as an appetizer that are not free, The pizza toppings are fresh but can be sautéed first if you truly need this but they certainly are topped and then baked with your pizza. The veggie lasagna should have lots of flavor and I am sorry it did not or is not prepared to your liking. We can add salt and milled pepper blend to an order.

Where do I start!? Renee’s has been a long time favorite of ours. We had only been since covid to get food pickup. They’ve remodeled and it is so beautiful! We loved our experience even more than ever before. The spinach artichoke dip is heavenly. We also got the chicken pesto lasagna (a new one for us) which was amazing. As well as chicken fettuccini. We ate every bite. Oh and the bread!!! Drool worthy. We love Renee’s for take out but will definitely make reservations for the ambiance again soon.

Thank you for celebrating your special day with us! Sounds like you had a great meal and Avril created an excellent experience for you. That is what we are going for. Thank you for every order you picked up during covid and every bit of support we earn from you now.

Very cute and relaxing atmosphere with great options for my mom & I who are both gluten-free and my sister who is vegetarian. We loved the fact that the beef was grass-fed local, but felt the meatball & marinara app was lacking just a bit, both in flavor/salt in the meatballs themselves and bc one of the baguettes was slightly gummy/undercooked. All of our entrees were FANTASTIC however, and I cannot recommend the flourless chocolate cake and the cheesecake enough (we also tried the olive oil cake which was just okay in comparison.) For the obvious quality, freshness and flavor of the food the price is very worth it, but definitely something to consider as it’s not budget-friendly. Nowhere else like Renee’s in Tucson!

Reneé’s is wonderful. It was our choice this year for our birthday celebration. We don’t like the stress of a more formal place, and the food at Reneé’s is superior.
