Renata

Lovely Italian place that serves fantastic pizza, pastas and more. They’re open during the pandemic with instructions on how to reheat whatever you order perfectly! We were supposed to have our rehearsal dinner here, but sadly that’s been postponed. As a result we’ve ordered from Renata twice this week, and their food always makes everything better!

Went for Portland Dining Month. The food was amazing with perfectly balanced flavors that some how incorporated each flavor whole also letting unusual flavors shine. The staff were friendly and fast, though there was a bit of a wait for drinks. I highly recommend stopping in for a slightly fancy and over all worth it meal.

Super legit! Yes, the portions are small, but I had some of the best bites of food I have ever tasted at Renata. The milk pork was on point, the chicken was perfect and they cook it over open flame. The pasta dishes were so good and the crab appetizer, which I don't think it's on the regular menu, stole the show. Went here for dining month and are already planning on going back.

This place was amazing! We had reservations at 9 in which I felt bad since that was the last seating. Our waitress quickly assured me there was no rush at all. It put my mind at ease so I could enjoy the experience. The food was delicious! We had the Portland Dining Month menu plus the scallops. Everything was so good but the Scallops were my favorite. Cooked perfectly and so tasty. This place was completely worth it and I can't wait to go back!

Short visit due to our schedule for the evening, however everything was perfect! Food with no unnecessary garnishes or exaggerated flavors. Spot on cocktails, at least that's what my Palm Reader cocktail said. Didn't make it to dessert, but next time we will! Definitely try it, enjoy it and tip well!

I decided to go here for the Portland dining month experience and it was pleasant. I enjoyed all the courses and could definitely see myself coming back on a different day for some wine and their salumi. Their 3 course meal didn't include a dessert which I prefer. I recommend the salumi and pickled vegetables first, the Reginette with braised pork for the second course. Both the third courses, which I would say is basically the main course, were good so you can't go wrong with either choices, note that I found the chicken dish to have a little bit of a spicy kick to it.
