Best Italian Restaurants in East Tucson

Very innovative fusion of Italian and Mexican. Some things work better than others, but overall it is great to have such new items to try out.

We tried Renee‘s in 2023, it was so delicious we had to come back. Not everyone has a perfect dining experience 2 times in a row, our 2nd dining experience was equal to or better than the 1st. I thought the salads were a bit pricey until I got mine, the quality & portion was excellent & worth every penny. The Oh Honey Board - DElicious!!! My friend ordered the lasagna & loved it but was a bit rich for her, I LOVED it & thought it was perfect. My husbands pizza was packed with flavor & the crust was superb. My pan seared chicken with sundried tomatoes was so good BUT I needed more garlic which they gladly provided. (I LOVE my garlic) Our waitress was very friendly & helpful to me in selecting my meal. We were unable to finish our food & gladly took leftovers. The only fault with Renee’s is you’re too full to order dessert. One other issue people might have is children under the age of 12 are not allowed 😳 So if your children are over 12, I highly recommend going to this place. If I find myself in Tucson again Renee‘s will always be one of my dining choices A MUST try! Sorry I forgot to take photos

Had a great time. Food was great. I would definitely go there again.

We used Open Table and made our reservation for Christmas lunch. We were pleasantly surprised as we drove to the restaurant. It was a great ambience. The food choices on the menu and the specials all sounded amazing. Made it hard to choose especially after our waitress Margarita shared her favorites. We decided we would just have bread before our meal because all the portions looked large. I had the freshest salad with honey mustard the house dressing. I ordered the Lobster Ravioli and it was perfection. Not too rich. It was well balanced lemon crème sauce with stuffed lobster ricotta pasta. My husband and our other guest both got baked Mostaccioli. They loved it and both took home leftovers. We had tiramisu and I had vanilla and chocolate gelato with chocolate and caramel syrup which our waitress made at her recommendation. Yum!! There. Was nothing I would have changed. It was such a great meal. I'm ready to go back now and highly recommend.

We were greeted and seated promptly and served water. The lunch menu was varied and the items sounded delicious. I ordered the charcuterie board and my friends ordered a pasta dish. Everything was served in a timely fashion and the order was accurate. Each of us was pleased with our selection.
