Renato's in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fran is the best waitress you could ever hope for, she made the experience 10/10 for us tbh

Would love to come back and try the Detroit style sometime! Was nice that they still had pizza when I went at 10pm tho!

Excellent lunch, very reasonable price, helpful staff

Arguably the best pizza in Bristol. Also they went and made me a gluten-free pizza specially. Great service and much appreciated

Amazing vegan pizza. Perfect for 2 for takeaway. Will be getting it frequently from now on. 5/5

Great pizza! Absolutely lovely style and I could not recommend it more.

Had dinner here last night with friends and couldn’t fault it! Detroit pizzas were so good and they cater for gluten free too! I’ve got to say it’s is one of the best GF pizzas I’ve had in Bristol! Service was impeccable and staff were so attentive and friendly! Great atmosphere too! Get yourself there now!

Incredible pizza! Perhaps the best vegan pizza I have had in Bristol. Portions are great too. I'm sat writing this review after finishing off my leftovers. Don't be put off by the price - it's absolutely worth it! Everything on the menu can be made vegan. Our server Francesca was very friendly, attentive, and informative. I recommend eating upstairs as there are a few more options and a more formal setting. The building deserves a mention too. It's beautiful with a lot of history and character. I really loved all the vintage Bristol Old Vic and Bristol Hippodrome posters downstairs too. So many good things to say. Will definitely be back for more. Ordered: Bull in the Heather Detroit-style Pizza (comes with buratta cheese) and a Leave Me Here Detroit-style Pizza (comes with some of the best vegan pepperoni I've had) as well as a couple of glasses of white wine and soft drinks.

Just had the most incredible vegan pizza here! Unique food you can't find anywhere else in Bristol. Our server Francesca was phenomenal, very attentive and friendly and building is such a quaint old place with great atmosphere. If you're looking for a sit in restaurant experience, go upstairs as opposed to the more casual dining downstairs.

Pizza was tasty but £22 is day light robbery

Pizza was tasty but for the price not really worth it. Ordered a £22 pizza between two of us and it came quite small for the price. 4 slices of pizza for £22 is a bit crazy!

Reece/Rhys is an amazing host and made Mine and my friends night. Unreal food and unreal service from him. !! Will be coming back !!

Ah what a shame.. this place was soooo good and I was thrilled to hear it was back open. But it’s nothing like it was. The “NY slices” are so so piddly and there’s no option for meat if you’re that way inclined. It’s ruined 😔

Lovely Boston style pizzas. Good service and unique building.

Such nice drinks, pizza and lovely service! <3

Deliciooooous Detroit style pizza served upstairs at Renatos. Even though each pizza is 'only' 4 slices, they are decadent and we couldn't finish it all (luckily they gave us a box to take home our leftovers). Definitely get a dip as they are so good for dipping the cheesy crust of the pizza into! 🍕 FYI - They only serve Vegetarian and Vegan options. We really liked the meat-free pepperoni and hot honey pizza. Friendly service and a nice vibe! 4 stars as it is pretty expensive compared to other pizza options in Bristol.

Great pizza, great beer, WiFi, nice staff, ace music, what more do you need in life?

We ordered a drink of the menu which was described as a half pint for £5.50 so just ordered the title however was served a pint so ended up paying £11. The pizza & espresso martini are great however…. Make sure you order exactly the size on the board not just the name of the drink!

Friendly doorman and service, very busy on a Friday eve but staff behind the pizza counter were on it! Convenient to grab a slice and a drink, prices were reasonable. Unfortunately, the pizza was a bit cold (though this is probably due to how busy it was) and there was only one toilet cubicle downstairs so queues for the bathroom took a little while. Would visit again though, maybe on a quieter eve.

Becoming my go-to place in Bristol. Detroit pizza is great, I love how easy it is to just grab a new york slice whenever and decide if you want another one right after! Great atmosphere and friendly staff too.

Lovely place to have a pint and slice of pizza ,Lovely old building

They don't accept cash. If you want to go somewhere which excludes some of the most vulnerable people in society, go here.

Nice slices of pizza. Good atmosphere in the bar/kitchen area

Pizza is banging and love coming here but experience was totally ruined by the person at the till - served my friends and I with utter disdain, commenting how they felt about their job loud enough for all of us to hear. Thanks to the other person who came over halfway through and tried to salvage the situation but damage was already done and it made for a very awkward experience tbh.

BEST PIZZA IVE EVER HAD ! 10/10 can’t wait to have it again !! Had the slice (margarita and one chicken) and my god they were good

Looooove the pizza and dough balls here - and love the inside of the restaurant. Highly recommend for a date night

I’ve been to Renato’s a few times before the shut down, and I was happy to go back. I think I just caught the man at the pizza bar on a bad night… but he ruined it for me. It wouldn’t stop me going back though….because I used to love it there…. Give it another go eh? Why not?

A new take on a Bristol institution! Great beers from Left Handed Giant and delicious (and massive) veggie and vegan pizza slices from Pizza Is Lovely. Great for a quick lunch or a cosy drink.

This place is the best - amazing pizza, great setting and lovely staff

Pizza Is Lovely IS AMAZING! tasty and delicious. Both normal and gluten free pizza bases were great. Little pricey but will definitely be returning!

Delilah and delightful experience. Great service and love some good vegan pizza

Original restaurant. Food really nice but expensive for what it is. They could fill out the restaurant with more tables to create a bit more of an atmosphere.

Update: Visit #2 and the pizza is sweeter than dessert. Like they dumped a bunch of sugar in the crust. Not nearly as good as last time :( The pepperoni pizza by the slice was some of the best pizza we’ve had outside the US and Italy, much less in England!

First time having detroit-style pizza. Easily the best pizza I've ever had. Whether you're going for a drink or a meal, the venue is a nice, relaxed, old-style pub. The staff were all lovely as well. I'll definitely be back as I don't think I can go back to normal pizza.

Some of the best pizza I’ve ever eaten. Very friendly staff and the old school Italian restaurant has been preserved. A most-go place to eat

The slices downstairs are cold, which is a shame as it they were left to reheat for another minute they'd be great. Been 3 times always the same issue

Regrettably, I was disappointed by the quality of the pizza and the demeanor of the staff during my visit.

GBP 50 for a pizza dinner for 2, without drinks, is too much, no matter how you slice it.

We had the Detroit pizza. Unlike any pizza I've eaten before. Very indulgent. Absolutely delicious. It's very filling so you could share one pizza between two people with some sides.

Pizzas are very different, super crops edges-worth the trip. Staff were friendly, building had a kooky vintage vibe as per old renatos. Good Negroni.

Great evening on Renato’s. Veggie Detroit pizzas with all the flavours!. In bloom my fav 😋. Lovely staff!

A unique selection of Detroit style pizzas, all delicious and made fresh by Pizza is Lovely at Renato’s. Definitely worth visiting while they serve here! The staff and service was also very friendly and attentive. A small note to add, is that this was the only time we couldn’t finish our desserts as the Tiramisu and Mousse were vegan and unfortunately they weren’t close to our taste buds. If you are a dessert fan and not vegan, I would recommend having something from Bristol city centre.

Different pizza, not sure how to describe it you've got to try it, super cheesy and garlicky. Loved the In Bloom one... Mushrooms truffle oil and blue cheese!

So glad to hear pizza is lovely was back and could not wait to go. Pizzas were amazing, just like we remembered them! Taste so good, so good! Service was great! Waitress was helpful and attentive. And dealt really well with our requests with a slightly fussy toddler with us! We will definitely be returning again and again.

Over priced. Can't deliver the pizzas 5-10m to the tables. I personally found it disappointing.

Wow. Was initially hesitant over a different style of pizza from your traditional Italian wood fired pizza oven. But wow, absolutely incredible. So rich and flavoursome. Would reccomend a pizza between 2 and a couple sides to share

Great place and wonderful staff 🙂

Really great to see Renato's back open! The new crew are continuing the trademark warm welcome and friendly atmosphere and I like the retention of pizza being available thoughout the night, but with a move to slices rather than having to order a whole pizza. I couldn't resist trying all 3 vegan options at once, and as they're decently large slices that quite possibly equated to a whole regular pizza anyway. All delicious, and a nice selection of drinks at the bar too 🙂🍕😋🍷

Best pizza I’ve ever had - and veggie/vegan at that. Wonderful atmosphere, and open late.

I love renatos. Great pizza and beers and it's not full of the horrible mingers you usually get on King Street

Entramos de casualidad, una pizzería acogedora, cómoda y con muy buenas pizzas. Precio bastante asequible y muy buen trato.

Came in a quick drink and ended coming back four hours later as service was so good, the staff are very friendly and whilst we did not eat here the pizza looked amazing and we could tell everyone was enjoying their food.

Vine aquí después de pasear por Bristol después de un espectáculo en el Old Vic (¡sí! ¡Lo sé! ¡Debería haber girado a la derecha, no a la izquierda cuando terminó el espectáculo!) Un servicio súper rápido de deliciosas pizzas (una sin gluten) en un gran entorno. Realmente disfruté mirando todos los viejos carteles y fotos de actores que cenaron allí. Precios muy razonables para la comida nocturna. Lo disfruté muchísimo.

Nice to still see independent restaurant Food was great, atmosphere brilliant Staff super friendly and the beer choices excellent

Una trattoria establecida hace mucho tiempo en el corazón de King Street. Aquí hay un restaurante italiano en el segundo piso que también ofrece una pizza en el bar de abajo. Nos alojamos en la planta baja y esto es bastante atmosférico, con las paredes completamente cubiertas de carteles antiguos de teatro.El menú es completamente pizza (y gelato para pudín), por lo que si no es lo tuyo es posible que necesites buscar en otra parte. La elección también fue un poco más inusual que en algunos lugares, sin Fiesta de Carne o Pepperoni, por ejemplo. Todos vinieron con tomate y mozzarella y yo fui por el que agregó atún, alcaparras y aceitunas. En realidad, era bastante bueno, una corteza delgada y crujiente y una combinación inusual de sabores, pero todos funcionaron bien juntos. Al otro lado de la mesa, un Ham & Mushroom era quizás un poco más convencional, e inevitablemente no tenía mucho sabor, pero seguía siendo un plato bastante decente.En general, pensé que este era un lugar bastante decente para una cena informal, con un personal amable y precios razonables.

I love renatos! From the awesome 80s signed pictures of Bristol old Vic theatre thespians, to the fact that it has the feel of an old Victorian pub and stays open until about 2am... but the best thing about renatos is the pizza! It’s traditional Italian Naples style pizza - served throughout the night until they close and very reasonably priced. It’s a must have with a beer or three. Plus they have an independent selections of lagers and ales, again at pretty reasonable prices... 5 pints cost me 20 quid which to be honest in Bristol is pretty cheap! I spend many a Saturday eve here. Where else can you find a comfy pub with great food open until 2am in the centre of town. Give it a visit!!!

So tasty! 😋 Amazing pizza. It was so tasty and the staff are amazing. The location is amazing. It’s such good value for money.

Staff gentile e simpatico ed un buon Service fanno di questo locale un punto obbligato se vai a teatro. Infatti è ubicato in fianco e a fine spettacoli tutti gli artisti si ritrovano qui.Il menù è vario ed il cibo not bad. I prezzi in linea.

A friend and I popped in to Renato's on a Saturday night for a drink and a pizza. The pizza was absolutely delicious but my friend's coke unfortunately was off. I went to get i texchanged at the bar but before I could even open my mouth, the lady who has served my (owner/wife of the owner/co-owner I believe) shook her head and insisted that "It's coke zero. What do you want?!" She was incredibly rude, refusing to even hear me out and didn't exchange the coke. She later walked past me while clearing tables and gave me the dirtiest look imaginable. I really liked that restaurant before this incident but, unfortunately, won't be going back. Absolutely hideous attitude to customer service. Shocking.

El ambiente era genial, todos nos lo pasamos muy bien. Las bebidas también eran asequibles y justo en el centro de la ciudad.

Si estás buscando una pizza fantástica y auténtica de estilo italiano, este es el lugar. Siempre hay un gran ambiente, el personal es muy agradable y tanto la comida como la bebida son fantásticas. Además, sirven comida hasta la 1 de la madrugada para todas tus necesidades nocturnas posteriores a la sesión de King Street.

Auténtica comida italiana, la cerveza era buena, mejor que su selección estándar. Menú de pizza solo en la noche del sábado que visitamos. Servicio rápido, el lugar estaba ocupado con un buen ambiente. Me divertí nombrando a todos los rostros famosos que han estado en el transcurso de los años, cuyas imágenes ahora adornan las paredes. El marido ganó!

Enjoyed my pizza. They are thin, which I like. Restaurant is kind of kitschy. Good for a casual bite with friends in between pubs.

Popped into here for a quick pizza on the way home on a Saturday night, the pizzas were tasty, thin and pretty good, looked like a good pizza oven. Great atmosphere.

Apareció en una pizza y no me decepcionó. El bar en sí es genial, ofrece una buena selección de bebidas, etc. Las fotos antiguas le dan un gran ambiente / punto de conversación. El servicio fue muy bueno en todas partes. Mi orden fue tomada rápidamente y la pizza llegó muy rápidamente. Tuve la pizza funghi con un poco de chili, fue excelente. Base delgada y crujiente (no demasiado delgada para ser insustancial, simplemente correcta). La cobertura fue excelente con la cantidad justa de chile. Una de las mejores pizzas en Bristol.

Mi marido dijo que deberíamos ir al "lugar de los artistas". Efectivamente, interesantes fotos de actor y actor en todas las paredes. Cálido, acogedor espacio y deliciosa pizza. Rango de cervezas intrigantes. El que tenía era delicioso y el gerente amablemente se ofreció a guardarme más de las botellas con tapa abatible, pero lamentablemente no pude volver cuando estaban abiertas. Fue tocado por su oferta.

Friendly and helpful host, she helped us choose our wine, and reassuring about the GF option. All the staff were helpful despite this being one of the buses times in a central Bristol bar.

One of bristols true gems. Pizzas are amazing, so tasty and the autographed photo walls of past and present icons from the Old Vic creates a real feeling you are in one of bristols culture and historic sites.

fiorentina with extra olives and a sweet pint of Menabrea . Perfect! Open late, lovely owners and fantastic posters and autographed pictures of the famous actors and actresses that have eaten here over the years of the Bristol Old Vic.

Me gusta la pizza a Renato, pero 10 o más libras por una pizza y ni siquiera tome el orden en la mesa ni traer cubiertos? ! Tienes que ir a un mostrador y servirte, como si estuviera en un Wetherspoon! Además, me quedé muy sorprendida cuando mi amigo pidió un Pimm's (4 libras) y sólo cuando preguntó a pagar con tarjeta le dijo que ella sólo podía hacerlo si ella pagamos más de 10 libras (no recomponer ver poster sobre tarjetas de crédito! ). Ella fue rechazado ir fuera y retirar dinero, nos sugirieron pagar £12 y volver más tarde para tener otras dos Pimm's. Lo que si ella quería tener uno Pimm's y tienes que salir rápidamente? !

Yo evitaría el personal es increíblemente grosero. He visitado hoy con un grupo grande (aproximadamente 10). Todos pedimos pizza, llegaban dos en un tiempo y finalmente llegó la última mina. Me registré con el camarero lo que la pizza era, como no parece que la pizza que había pedido. Confirmó que era una pizza diferente, así que me explicó que había pedido una diferente y él desapareció. Unos minutos más tarde él reapareció con la señora detrás de la barra que había tomado mi orden, me informó de que era incorrecto (! Habíamos pedido una) y pizza diferente. Les expliqué que yo no tenía, pero ella simplemente no escuchaba y sólo hablaba de mí. Me rendí y tomamos la pizza, la mayoría del partido Al haber comido por este punto. Todo el mundo fue muy impactada por su actitud y bromeamos sobre el servicio al cliente! Nunca he visitado un sitio antes de donde el personal te abiertamente grita y se niegan a escuchar - claramente equivocada hizo que la pizza y quería que fuera en nosotros palm. Muy impresionado.

This place is the best for a pizza and drink after a local theatre trip or just any time you fancy a late drink and great food in a classic Bristol venue. Love it. 😀

Muy interesante, perfecto pizza! He estado allí unas cuantas veces y cada vez es increíble. Tienen pizza muy buena! También el personal es muy agradable. Buen lugar para reunirse con los amigos en el fin de semana y tienen algunas cervezas. 🍻

Pizza fantástica (podría ser la mejor en Bristol) con una base de crujiente, y un gran personal que son muy complacientes. Si quieres una pizza después de las 23:00 porque trabajo turnos tarde, este lugar es también ideal como para una comida

Sulle guide è descritto come un locale tipico ma non è esattamente così. Servono una discreta pizza cotta in forno...

Metimos en después de ver una banda en el lugar de lana (a 10 minutos andando). Ambiente agradable, bien bonito, pizzas, cervezas era una excelente manera de terminar la noche.

Busy, vibrant place. That bit different. If not for that, this would be 2 stars. The pizzas were bland, flavourless.For the atmosphere worth a visit just the once.

Just a visit with a friend for a bottle of red in a cosy corner. Ordered the £14.95 house Malbec. Poured ourselves two large glasses, had the first sip and we both said "this wine is off", it was fizzy (red wine), sour and had bits floating in it... (Gross!) I didn't think twice about going to the back to the bar to let them know, after all, these things can happen! The woman was immediately hostile and before we had even spoken snapped "what is wrong with the wine NOW then?!" I explained and she said "no, there's nothing wrong with it, it's the wines region", I was baffled! I then said "it's not the region, it's an off bottle" the lady refused to accept this, tried it (after saying she didn't drink red wine so wouldn't know) and again said it was fine. She added "seeing as you didn't like it, you've drank a lot" pointing at the bottle 3/4 full... I mentioned 2 full glasses were next to it... This seemed to be an unnecessary detail. Then the man behind the bar joined in to tell us we were wrong and it was our unrefined tastebuds that couldn't cope with the sophisticated Malbec they had served us. Between them they were confrontational, rude and altogether made us feel very on edge. I've drank lots of terrible bottles of wine in my time (and lots of good ones!) but I cannot drink vinegar... Eventually the woman slammed another bottle of cheap red in front of us adding "we have NEVER had a complaint before, but have this" luckily, this bottle of overpriced red wine was not full of carbon dioxide and didn't smell of yeast (yay!), so we enjoyed it in disbelief, vowing never to return again...

A nice bar with walls covered with autographed photographs of actors.The pizza I found quite reasonable and delicious. It's a good option of you are stuck for somewhere to eat in the evening and you're around there - it's quick and easy and you can have a beer.

We had a quick pizza here. They are made to order and are thin based, rather than the mush of thick based pizzas which tend to proliferate nowadays. There was quite a lot of chilli flakes on my "inferno" pizza-- the name should have been a clue! We all enjoyed our pizzas. Wine was not great. Friendly service and cheap. Worth a try if time is short.

Dropped in here recently on way to Bristol Comedy Festival - everywhere else was rammed and Renato's quite empty. It is a quaint little place and has a nice ambience. I have enjoyed a few nights drinking here at different times down the years. However the food was quite overpriced for what you get. My anchovy pizza was quite thin - tasty but not very filling and at £8.95 is a bit steep. Come for the ambience and a drink in nice surroundings but pizza was average I'm afraid - much better to be found in walking distance.

one of the best pizza's in the city, freshly made great choice of toppings. eating pizza in the gaze of old stage lovelies with their faces looking down covering all the walls

Renato's has long been one of my favourites on King Street - down to earth with great staff giving a warm welcome and serving tasty pizzas until late into the evening.An interesting array of theatre posters and signed pics of stars decorate the walls, and there's a choice of louder main seating area or cosier space by the bar.

It always amuses me to look at the photos of the TV &amp; film stars that have visited Renato's over the years, that and the great pizzas on offer makes a great place to visit. It is always buzzing with students and us older bods. If you like great pizzas at a reasonable price in a local family run restaurant in the city centre with a great reputation and a 'real buzz' then make sure you visit Renato's.

Situated almost next door to the Bristol Old Vic, and run by an Italian family, the pizza is proper thin-crust and very tasty. Drinks have a "craft" angle, mostly bottled ciders, and specialist soft drinks such as blood orange San Pellegrino. Very popular with star-spotters, but pick your moment. The photo-gallery of grateful customers from show-business is fascinating.

After leaving the opposite Beer Emporium, we could not help noticing the sign advertising both beer and pizza from this pub-come-restaurant. It was shortly after sunset and still too early for dinner, but one member of our party had not eaten lunch so we decided to share a pizza amongst us. Inside, the establishment was all but empty, though the atmosphere was pleasant and enabled us to enjoy the red wooden surroundings and Milanese-Hollywood style photographs. The lady at the bar was friendly; though the ale selection was not fantastic they had some unusual lagers to sample. I had to buy two as I was paying via card, and they enabled me to come back and collect the second when I needed it.The pizza came after a fairly average wait. It semeed fairly authentically Italian: thin but sturdy base, with delicious toppings. For the price we were paying, which is cheaper than it would be back home in Reading, this was more than reasonable and definitely worthy as a snack, and if I had been hungrier I would happily have gone for a whole pizza for myself as a meal. Although it was relatively empty in the seating area during our stay, several groups came in to collect takeaways - so evidently the supplier retains some popularity with locals as well.

The pizzas here are perfect if you are enjoying the pubs on King Street. They're cheap, tasty and you can carry on your drinking as its a fully stocked pub. There's load of autographed photos of old actors (the theatre is next door) and the decor is a bit dated but it's a great place to stop by in for some quick, good pizza.

We went for a drink having seen the menu sign outside rentals promising open until 2am Tuesdays to Saturdays, so arrived around midnight, and they said that they were only open late at weekends. So didn't get any further....

Service was a disaster, pizza was not good (no taste, lots of oil and cold (?) and very expensive for what you get. Not worth it...

The place itself is pretty nice but the pizza was a raw, sloppy, greasy mess. The topping fell off the uncooked base and the plate was drowned in oil. I had to wait for the pizza to get cold just so I could pick it up without it falling apart, and as for the taste. It was literally just cheese and salt. Worth popping in for a beer, but the pizza was literally the worst I've ever had in my life.

We have been drinking here for many years and found this place to be amazing in every sense of the meaning, the staff are superb, the décor is quirky and unusual mixing old and modern together. The pizzas have to be one of the best I have tried in Bristol

Этот паб расположен в нескольких минутах ходьбы от центра города, на улочке, где находится много других интересных пабов. Здесь удивительная художественная атмосфера, позволяющая насладиться едой и обществом знаменитостей, правда в формате портретов, которыми увешаны стены этого заведения. Понравился широкий выбор мировых сортов пива и итальянской пиццы.

I booked a table for 21 at this restaurant, as I wanted to go for birthday drinks in the King Street area afterwards. Several years ago I enjoyed a meal here, when it was very different. The woman who took the reservation over the phone was a bit grumpy, though i thought nothing of it.On arrival, the chairs had been crammed around a row of tables so tightly you'd struggle to fit primary school children on them, and we were several chairs short. I laughed this off as a mistake, we all looked at each other in disbelief, and the manager added another table in an L-shape and we all pushed the chairs apart, but it was still pokey, and if you were one of the many people behind the table who needed to get out to place an order at the bar / go to toilet, you either had to up-seat several people, or climb over the table.We hadn't been warned that you had to place food and drink orders at the bar, which meant there was no table service when it came to drinks, though we accepted this.Where we lost patience was the food. We had been warned that the pizzas would come out at slightly different times, but we didn't take this to mean that there was what felt like an hour or so between serving the first and last pizzas, and the first one didn't get served for about an hour. The wait was unbearable. I felt awful for my friends, people were waiting a ridiculous amount of time to get their meals.I might have forgiven them if the pizzas had come out and they were great, or even just quite good. They were all miserable to eat, and I'm really not a fussy eater. I've lost count of how many £1-2 supermarket pizzas I've eaten at home that were ten times tastier to eat. The toppings were at best scarce, at worst non-existent. There was way too much crust, which we couldn't bring ourselves to eat.Me and my friends aren't a fussy bunch. We eat any pizza, especially when that hungry. But we all battled to eat the flavourless, disappointing pizzas with rubbish dough. They didn't taste in any way authentic or special, and we paid way too much for the privilege. What made things even worse is that the chef/waiter (who seemed to be the only person cooking and bringing out the pizzas) had awful people skills. He seemed to enjoy bringing out one pizza at a time, muttering its name in Italian so quietly under his breath that no one could even hear a word - at which point I would ask him the name and repeat it to the table at a more audible volume - then he would act impatient, rolling his eyes and sighing, when he could have just spoke up a bit.I was dying to get my guests out.The only way I could recommend eating here is if you accidentally bought a pint here, decided you might be hungry in an hour, felt like you could even eat a shoe, and because of a leg injury you couldn't get to any of Bristol's other restaurants or takeaways.

I'd been told that eating at Renato's is a staple Bristol experience. It was ok. The pizza menu could be more extensive (as a vegetarian, the choice was extremely limited). When it arrived, the pizza was fine, but not really worth as much as I'd had to pay for it. Three quarters of the way through our meals, a big party came in who had reserved a table, but as not enough chairs and tables had been put out for them we were turfed out of our seats to make room for them.The staff were pleasant and it does have a nice atmosphere in there, but the food/ menu needs improving.

A group of us visited Renato's for the first time for a birthday meal recently. We started our night there which I think was probably a mistake - it's the kind of place where you should finish your night i think. For a sit-down meal for a special occassion, i felt this place was a bit rough around the edges. It was all a bit cramped, the menu was basic and the service was slow. The pizza was nice but not knock-out. I would go again for a quick bite but not for a special occassion.

It's all about the pizza here. Very fresh ingredients and a lovely atmosphere for a pub. A good place to have a quick dinner before a trip to the theatre.

Good pizza in these Italian in Bristol, my pepperoni pizza was lovely and my girlfriend had the one with vegetables!!!!

I have to admit l have been a customer for many, many years ( since a teenager ! ) and have held pre theatre cast parties here - they serve as always the best pizza in town ! and the staff are superbly attentive and friendly,run by a very lovely 'Italian family' who always make a special welcome for everyone especially children - its a great place too for a drink into the early hours - a long established restaurant and bar frequented by actor's from the Bristol Old Vic Theatre Royal, Hippodrome, visiting film crews and artistes and of course BOV drama students and theatre luvvies !Take a look at the photographs on the walls and gallery of famous artistes - amazing ambience and consistently good - a star spotting spot !!

After a show at The Hippodrome, went here with the cast and 'others'. The choice of beers is limited but the atmosphere is great and the guy who makes the pizza does a really good job of 'em. The bloke who delivers your chosen fare to your table does it with humour and patience - most of the clientèle being slightly the worse for drink. The bar staff, however, give the impression that the day has gone on too long. I'll go again

Used to eat at Renato's quite a few years ago, primarily as it was a place where you could get decent late night food, along with a vibrant atmosphere, when places nearby were closing up for the night.Visited again a couple of times recently and actually like the fact that hardly anything has changed, in the food, decor etcetc - it's certainly got it's own quirks and identity, which personally think is a good thing.Possible that the menu could do with a couple of additions, but always found the pizzas themselves tasty and good value.
