Renee's Tucson

We are in AZ for the winter. We chose to dine at Renee’s for my birthday dinner based on recommendations from a few locals. Let me say, for a date night this place is a definite YES. It’s cozy and small so really great for conversation (unless you have very loud guests behind you like we did. Unlucky but that happens sometimes). Our Server was friendly and made absolute sure everything was gluten free (I have Celiac Disease) and we didn’t have to wait on her for anything. She took the time to be sure everything came out okay. We ordered wine (no cocktails available). It was good wine. We ordered their Oh My Honey board - that was the absolute star of the night. So simple but SOOOO delish! I’ll be thinking of it for some time. Order it - trust me. The gluten free baguette was also perfect.

From the moment we walked in, service was great, very friendly staff. It is a small restaurant, I would recommend making a reservation. We made our same day. Started with drinks, prickly pear lemonade with tequila, very tasty. For appetizers we tried the garlic knots, came out hot and fresh, both ranch and marinara flavorful, a great pairing. I got the Fettuccine alfredo with chicken. The sauce was very creamy and rich, I feel it lacked a bit of flavor. The chicken was tender but fairly plain, blending into the dish rather than standing out. The pasta was cooked well and held the sauce nicely. The best part was the focaccia bread. I might return to try the pizza, they looked to be good and had plenty of choices.

Came here for the gluten free pizza and was not disappointed. Very tasty and prepared well. This is a tiny restaurant with about 5 tables inside and 5 outside. I suspect it could seat about 40 people if every spot was filled so I’d highly recommend reservations if you go. The food is good but it’s pricey. My 3 meatballs were $15. We paid over $50 for a small salad, the 3 meatballs and a gluten free pizza. Definitely feels like a quality over quantity type of place but you pay well for it. I’d go back for the pizza but am hard pressed to see the value in the balance of items ordered. EDIT: Added a star due to the response from the owner. It was thoughtful and detailed review.

I'd heard many a thing about Renee's (from the quality of the food to the no children under 12 in the dining room policy, which *is* mentioned all everywhere and multiple times when you make your reservations, so if you miss that, totally on you). Now onto the food itself... The focaccia bread (served along with a hot honey sauce IIRC and butter) and the caprese board were excellent appetizers. Everything on both of these dishes was incredibly fresh and quite tasty. The chilies and cream pizza was quite the experience. If you're into spicy foods, then this is definitely a must-have. The combination of green chilies, jalapeño cream sauce, and beef along works so well. The chicken dinner consisted of a chicken breast over spinach and zucchini noodles in a creamy sauce. The chicken was qui

The food was excellent and the service was great. I loved the options for vegans and gluten-free. It's a small restaurant so reservations are recommended and the inside seating is limited. The
