It was my first visit on an absolutely beautiful day of weather for mid December! We did have a large group at our table & I realize how difficult that can be! With that being said I was treated very rudely by our waiter & any attempt I made at correcting whatever might have caused the rude behavior was met w/what I felt was mild contempt!! However the food was simply divine!!! Authentic Italian food at its finest!!! I started with a charcuterie board & there was plenty to share around the table. Someone also ordered calamari & oh my - by far the best I have ever tasted!!! When it came time to place our entrees I asked to have just the calamari. As everyone's meals began arriving, w/mouth watering aromas, I was anticipating my calamari. I waited & waited but nothing came!! I asked about it & the waiter said, "Oh you wanted calamari? Let me check on it." I waited & waited, still nothing!!! I finally asked our busser, Angel, (who was excellent at his job & his level of professionalism & customer service was well above my waiter) who said he would check on it. The order had just been placed so I would have to wait a few minutes!!!! Very frustrating & totally uncalled for!!!! They were out of my most favorite dessert, creme brulee, so I had a vanilla bean ice cream which tasted yummy!!! Again I know I was w/a large party but I was the only person treated in this manner; not something I'm used to. I did ask that he not pour my entire bottle of beer into my glass all at one time because I prefer to keep it in the bottle so it doesn't get warm if I'm not drinking it quickly. Sorry if that insulted my waiter. Other than that I had a perfectly wonderful evening at Renato's & will definitely visit again! My tip on my credit card bill reflected my mood but I also understand the restaurant industry is struggling, hence the cash tip which I felt was more than generous.

I heard that Ristorante Renato never fails to provide an exceptional dining experience and tonight was a testament to this. The wait staff were very patient as we waited for the third part of our dining party to arrive, being ever so attentive, offering delicious bread and beverages. Once our party was complete we had the opportunity to move to a booth for a little extra room and more privacy than the small table that had only been available when we arrived. The waiters were very accommodating. Our meals were delicious and the ambiance was not even dampened by the drunk guy celebrating his own birthday by starting the birthday song 4-5 times while we dined. (Maybe it was his spouses birthday...?) It was refreshing to be treated so well at a restaurant again, it's been a while. I neglected to get a picture of the Oysters Rockefeller but was told it was delicious!
