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!
This restaurant is a gem. The food and service is amazing! This was our first time at Renee’s and will definitely be back. The food was so good, we took some pizzas to go (and they did not disappoint).
Environment was very elegant, but yet casual. Inside seating was very private. The lasagna was delicious! The pepperoni pizza was absolutely amazing, the crust makes it even better! Caesar salad can be split between two people, I highly recommend it! But what topped the cake was the focaccia! You guys made my birthday peaceful and private with amazing food. Baylee thank you for your amazing customer service. Ma’am you deserve recognition for your customer service.
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.
The service was great, and the food was delicious. Lots of gluten free options for my bestie. We sat outside, a little noisy but that can't be helped. Reservation needed.
It is best to make a reservation at this little gem. It is cozy and has limited seating inside that is why it is better to reserve. Children under 12 are not allowed inside because of this reason (limited seating). It says on their website. I can see why because one can enjoy eating more without the cries, or yelling of children in such a small space. Don’t get me wrong, since it’s small inside, trust me, you would not want to be placed in a situation where your child is not comfortable and disturbing others while they are eating. This is a place more for couples or friends because its set-up is more like a romantic place, & cozy.
It does have outdoor seating and we took our grandson who is 7 yrs old.
There is only one bathroom.
The service and food is excellent!
This our second visit and both have been incredible! The flavors are simple but deep and, at the same time refreshing! The garlic bread served with the humus was truly the best we have ever had. We love the ambiance and how intimate and modern the feel of this place is. Such a unique experience and we will soon return!!!
Best gluten free meal I have had dining out in years! Thank you so much! I don't live in Tucson but I might make the drive from Chandler just to eat at Renee's again.
Impressive. Loved the ambience. Thank you for the vegan options. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Will be back.
We showed up late for dinner at Renee's (probably about 8:30) for my daughters birthday and found a table outside with a heater. Our server was accommodating and attentive despite our late arrival and brought another Heather over to our table when another group left. Dinner was delicious! Hats off to the chef! We will definitely be back (earlier next time -sorry!).
Hey Renee! I know you read these it was great talking with you on Thursday. We were the two guys sitting at the booth next to the front window. We had a blast
The food was outstanding Italian food. There’s really no other way to put it. Every ingredient was quality everything was done with professionalism and just tasted solidly excellent. The drinks were really delicious as well a little on the pricey side but worth the cost in my humble opinion since they use quality liquor.
They definitely move a lot of pizza here but I got the lasagna and the portions are massive which is always sure to please. Will definitely come back next year.
This place is like 3 tables inside. Make reservations or pray. I
Rating based on poor service.
The Spinach Dip Calzone was very good. The flavors were bold but not overwhelming and chunks of chicken which was nice. Good size to share if small appetite.
a food heaven.. just amazing, a small eatery, just a few tables but you gotta
taste the food they serve! good drinks and deserts.
tip- reserve ahead and may be check if what you like to eat is available that day.. they make gluten free things and sometimes they may not have everything available..

Everything is spectacular. The atmosphere is hands down the best thing about this place. Very intimate setting for a date night. The staff are always so attentive. The food is great some can use improvement but overall it’s a 4.5 star in my book!

What an absolute gem of a place! My cousin and I are in town for a wedding weekend and have never been to Tucson. We were looking for a nice place to eat that wasn't too far from the hotel that was reasonably priced.
I think that this place had an amazing selection of food and choices for all diet types, specifically gluten free (even for an Italian place!) We got the apple, walnut, & goat cheese salad, the house made small batch hummus with bread, and the penne arrabbiata with the meatballs. we split each perfectly portioned course and it was truly lovely and super delicious.
The salad was perfectly balanced and the ingredients were all super fresh and inviting. I loved the honey poppyseed dressing! I am a huge fan of classic hummus and this really hit the mark with a drizzle of olive oil and a large house made bread portion for dipping! (Make sure you save a bit to dip into your pasta sauce!) The Arrabbiata sauce had the perfect touch of spice and the meatballs were filling but not too much.
We finished up with the flourless chocolate cake with house made cinnamon whipped cream alongside some freshly brewed decaf coffee from a local roaster. The cake was perfectly fudge-y and dense and the cinnamon whipped cream was also very well balanced
All of the ingredients were fresh, organic, and locally sourced if applicable and in season, it seemed. I look forward to that specifically when dining out so this was a huge plus for us.
Whitney, our server, was so delightful and informative about her favorite dishes and the most popular as well as the portion sizes that guided our decisions. She was attentive, polite, and even asked me if I wanted ice in my water which is not always common, but I appreciated the thoughtfulness. She even brewed us a fresh pot of decaf (SORRY for the late brew, I know how frustrating that can be at the end of the night, as a former server.) it was delicious and very much appreciated.
All in all, it was a beautiful dinner; from the ambience to the dishware & flatware as well as the menu itself. I loved their wine glasses and the water glasses, 10/10! (they had a great weight to them!)
The place is very small, and tucked sort of into a strip mall which may be off-putting to some, but it is so cozy and inviting - you'd be surely missing out if you skipped it. Make sure you catch a reservation and don't sleep on this great hidden gem!
Price was great for the quality and portion of food. For two of us, with two glasses of wine, a salad, an appetizer, an entree, dessert, two coffees, (one with Irish whiskey in it ;) ) our total bill came to ~$87 before tip. I was very impressed. May even take the rest of my family there before we leave on Sunday! (It's now Wednesday)
This place is soooo good. It’s a nice intimate place, I really liked the decor too. Perfect for date night (or in my case lunch). We got the garlic knots, these are amazing! They were seasoned so well. We also got the pesto pizza and it was delicious. Cheesy pesto goodness. The portions were great for the two of us. After reading some of the reviews I decided to the get the prickly pear lemonade and it was delicious. Not super sweet and not super tart, it was refreshing. Service was excellent! I can’t wait to return when I come back to Tucson later this year.
Delicious high quality food and excellent staff. Beautiful art on the walls. Great ambiance! Will definitely be coming back here again! Everything tasted so fresh. Great choices on menu and not super expensive:)
This place was delicious! We ordered, from left to right, fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, marinara ravioli with chicken, a custom calzone with sausage, red peppers and green chilies and penne arrabbiatta. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip appetizer.
The fettuccine was creamy and full of flavor.
The ravioli was cheese filled, had a layer of melted cheese on top, and marinara was delicious.
The calzone had a crust with good flavor and not burnt out overcooked. The sausage is house made and is wonderful.
The penne is organic, and the sauce has some tomato chunks, onions and spicy red pepper, this is an absolute must have again.
The spinach artichoke dip is creamy and full of flavor. It is served with garlic bread and the combo is amazing!
The biggest downfall is to eat inside you must have a reservation due to the limited seating. There are 3 tables for outside dining, 2 are 4 top tables and 1 is a 2 top.
Will definitely be going back.
This is a 5 STAR RESTAURANT!!! FYI I don’t eat at 5 Star restaurants. This place serves Italian food. Some of the best I have EVER eaten! I’m so picky but no worries for me here. Only 4 tables so call to reserve a table for anytime they are open. I’m flabbergasted at how delicious their food is. Staff is very friendly and their desserts are also DELICIOUS! I am a devoted patron of this restaurant now and that I’m not joking about! We ended up coming here because the other place I was going to was closed for their vacation for the month of July! So glad they were closed now! I don’t like leftovers generally but I am looking forward to my leftover lasagna like you won’t believe!
