I went at Renzo's so many times, but in recently, the kitchen is becoming truly horrible, not to mention that in the kitchen, maybe it was just an Italian chef, now I seems to eat at the restaurant Lebanese or Indian, food is not cooked and tasteless, pizza every time it becomes increasingly hard and salty. The service performed by... More

We went for Renzos as it was a convenient start to evening. After getting a small table for two on a cramped Patio. Weather was nice enough, so we didn't bother. As we looked through the menu, the waiter asked us if we would like to start of with some bruschetta and/or garlic bread. We agreed willfully. The drinks arrived... More

We had vouchers to use from Groupon and the value for what we got was incredible. The food was spectacular. I tried a bit of everyones dish (6 of us) and the flavours were amazing. The service was great too. Most waiters are Italian so it feels like you are somewhere in Italy enjoying a fantastic meal (though I think... More

HAve eaten at Renzo's about 5 times as well as getting pizza take away to take back to the boat, I won't be back each time it has got worse with each meal. The last pizza we got was so salty I could have washed it down with sea water to dilute the taste of salt. Service has also gone... More

We thought we would try a new restaurant and settled on Renzo's. There in lie the problem. We went in and were shown a... More

5 of us went for dinner at Renzos last week as we had one of those 'daily deals' vouchers. With this we got entrees, mains, dessert & a house wine or pot of beer. Entrees not too bad, though the calamari was like chewing rubber bands. For mains we all got something different. The steak, terrible. The fish and chips,... More

Misplaced our booking though we had email confirmation. Upon arrival we were not properly acknowledged. instead of being taken to the table, the waiter pointed in the direction of the table and offered us nothing. About 10 mintues later someone came and took a drinks order. Not long after we ordered our food. Entrees didn't take too long but tasted... More

We dined here as a group of 5 on Saturday 21 May 2011 for dinner. We chose to sit outside under their tented area with heaters. Wide selection available on both the food menu and wine list. Food was tasty and fresh. The one let down was the service. The waitress spilled wine when pouring from the bottle we ordered... More
