    Quaint little restaurant with high quality ingredients and healthy options. Lots of gluten free and dairy free options that are clearly labeled. Everything was delicious! Our server was knowledgeable, competent, and so nice! Portions are not huge, but we left content. Highly recommend!

    I'm reluctant to post this review, BECAUSE I LOVE DINING AT RENEE's, and I want to be able to get reservations on weekends. Renee's is superb. Great food, ambiance, service. If you want Italian, or want pizza with a homemade crust, sauce, and all the trimmings, what more could you ask? There are creative pizzas on the menu, like Papa's Con Queso, which we always get with sausage, also homemade.

    We ordered the meatballs and jalapeno cream. I got no jalapeno bite and it needed seasoning, salt and pepper. I got a greek salad with chicken. The chicken was well seasoned. The dressing was decent. Overall, it was good. No wow factor for me though. Might try the pizza sometime and see if that is where their wow factor is located. The server was very polite and efficient.

    Renee’s Cafe has been in Tucson 20 years -I’ve been here 44 years and just recently discovered this hidden gem! The ambience is so relaxing. It’s small and cozy and reservations assure you table. The outside dining is lovely too. The food is exceptional and your tastebuds will dance!💃🏻 The desserts are to die for and the service is exceptional.

    My fourth visit to Renee’s didn’t disappoint. The hospitality just can’t be beat, and the food is amazing. So glad this tiny gem is still around!

    My pasta was fine but not special. They have a limited wine list with mediocre wines. My ceasar salad came out with no dressing. I suspect their pizza may be the best thing they make because most people were ordering pizza. Probably won’t come back.

    Carol,I will first say Thank you for trying us out.I would like to address a couple things here and here in your private message.The take out you saw leaving in boxes is also pasta, we serve it hot with bread and it stacks well and stays hot for our at home guests.We serve about an equal amount of pizza and as you put it-not very special pasta.I wish you liked your dish more than you did.She was asked by you if she ever tried this wine because you were certain the(newly opened screw top) wine was open for too long.It seems many words came from you according to guests who overheard you. Another way to see this is a small,thoughtful, and approachable wine list for a restaurant our size & price point.We are grateful to be relied upon serving for 20+years. And yes our pizza is fantastic, Renee

    The walnut & apple salad and pesto ravioli (primarily the pesto) were delicious. My party was unfortunately left unimpressed by the spinach dip calzone, meat lasagna, and vegan calzone (although this last can be partially attributed to a non vegan trying vegan cheese for the first time). The patio has been eled out of the bare concrete sidewalk in front of the restaurant directly in front of the parking lot and leaves much to be desired in terms of ambience.
