Description

Longtime neighborhood Italian Renato's in Sewalls Point/Stuart serves brick-oven pizzas, seafood and a much‑praised French onion soup across breakfast, lunch and dinner in a charming indoor/outdoor courtyard. Many diners enjoy flavorful entrees, generous presentations and friendly staff, though experiences vary: service can be slow, orders occasionally arrive cold or incomplete, and some seafood plates are sparsely portioned. Prices are reasonable for several dishes, but inconsistent execution has dulled earlier charm — still a pleasant casual spot if you come with tempered expectations.

The restaurant offers a lovely selection of Italian dishes and seafood specialties. The portions are generous, and everything is nicely prepared and presented. However, there was a noticeable delay between when we placed our order and when our food was served, even though the restaurant wasn't busy that night and many tables were available.

This charming restaurant located in Sewalls Point/Stuart offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests can choose to dine indoors or outdoors, with tables arranged to allow for social distancing. The waitstaff is friendly and well-informed. My absolute favorite dish at Renatos is their French Onion Soup. Priced at just $6 for a crock, it’s an incredible deal. The soup is served piping hot with cheese melting over the sides. It's packed with caramelized onions and croutons nestled beneath the cheese. I highly recommend this restaurant and their fantastic onion soup.

Disappointing. This Italian restaurant, which has been in business since the late 90s, has certainly lost its charm. I ordered pasta with seafood, but it fell short of the expectations one would have for a long-standing Italian eatery. While I understand that homemade pasta might be a lot to ask, I was disappointed to find only 2 shrimp, 2 clams, 2 mussels, and 2 pieces of calamari in a rather bland sauce made with canned tomatoes and not a hint of garlic, all for $28. My side of a tiny Caesar salad and what seemed to be day-old bread also lacked excitement. It's a unfortunate decline for the neighborhood.

I went to use the restroom while I was there and knocked on the door to check if it was occupied. I even apologized for knocking, but when an employee came out, they said, “That’s how you get hit in the face with the door.” I couldn’t believe what I heard! This is terrible customer service, especially towards people who support your business. I won’t be returning again!

Delicious food! We always enjoy dining here. I must give them credit; when we arrived, they informed us that "the kitchen is backed up," which helped set our expectations—so the service was satisfactory. Everyone was pleased with their main dishes. I had the flounder, while others ordered veal piccata and eggplant parmigiana. We will definitely be coming back.
