Renata - Portland

We both had the restaurant Month menu (so that was all choices). they were all very good. both capitals were oversaled, and one was significantly smaller than the other. the service was excellent. a thing I found annoying: reservation made and confirmation received (big, two days before a reminder/confirmation (fein, another reminder to the day before (are they serious? , and an hour before, a text message (very annoying, intrusting and disrespectful of customers)

This was our third or fourth visit to Renata, and it was our favorite visit so far. This time we ordered three different pasta dishes to split between two people, and each of them was delicious, beautiful, and generously-portioned. We look forward to visiting again soon. Perhaps, my biggest frustration with Renata is how quickly the menu changes. I review the menu on-line, make a reservation for a few days later, and then find that what I wished to order is no longer available. Also, there is no such thing as having a much-enjoyed dish again in the future. Of course, this same feature is also part of Renata's appeal to others.

Not worth the hype. First, we sat at 7:30. They were out of 3 menu items. By the time we ordered they were out of another and after we ordered we were informed one of our entrees was out too. This was the only vegetarian item (pasta) on the menu that wasn’t pizza. Portions were small and overpriced. The vegetable misto was interesting ... tasty but might had well have been eating air. Was an overall disappointment.

Wonderful date night experience! You can never go wrong choosing Renata! It’s consistently excellent service and food! Great ambiance!

Birthday celebration . Pretty good food. My husband thought his pizza needed more flavor in the sauce. The carrots were amazing. No one mentioned my daughters fiancée birthday oh wll
