    A quick dinner at Renato's is what we wanted... but when we were there we find three birthday celebrations. A big group sat by the mural and it looks like they are having a feast. Allright then, we will sing along as cake and candles became centerpieces. Juan Carlos served us and we go back a long time. He took our order for thin spaghetti with marinara for the lovely missus and I'll have the Chicken Parmigiano with penne pasta in a marinara sauce. But, the special on the board tonight is white Clam Chowder soup.. I gotta have that to start with. A thick creamy well filled bowl of yummy goodness. The plates came with a basket of cheese / garlic toasted slices of white Italian bread. The marinara at Renato's is thin and covers the pasta but you can definitely taste the Vine ripened tomatoes and the remnants of the fragrant basil leaves. The flattened and battered white breast chicken with a slice of Mozzarella was a delight. Our quick dining was very pleasant and seeing the waitstaff going back and forth was marvelously entertaining. It was even better than the videolog of a far away land. We had good service and leftover was readied. A to go order of the thick and creamy Fettucini Alfredo was also ready. We thanked everyone for the nice dinner and Renato's remains one of our Italian favorite restaurants.

    So happy with my experience from last night!!! My friend and I came around 8:00 PM on a Sunday. We sat immediately and were served waters upon request (I love my hot water with lemon!). The dining area was cozy, decorated with a bright ocean mural supported by soft ambient music covers playing on a small TV. The complimentary bread came out quickly, and so did our food. My friend ordered a farfalle dish with chicken and spinach (custom additions) and I got spaghetti with spicy marinara sauce and shrimp. Both dishes were excellent! The noodles were tender and warm, and the ingredients tasted hearty and fresh (e.g., cooked garlic slices, white meat chicken, and peeled shrimp). I was so impressed by the firm chew of the shrimp in my pasta and the freshly grated cheese in the shakers on the table. The waiter, Israel, was kind, prompt, and accommodating the entire night. I even had leftovers to take home, which another staff kindly boxed up for me! You can tell that the restaurant only uses clean, high quality ingredients, and that the workers really care about the quality of their service and food. Thank you to everyone for being so kind, even at the closing hour. My only wish is that they offered a wider selection of drinks and desserts. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family :)

    Linguini alla pescatore

    Literally just left & will be coming back soon to try their pizza! Such a cute little spot with outside and indoor seating. Very cozy and romantic. Perfect for a date night. The outdoor area is covered and has heaters. There's plenty of parking, it's in the CVS plaza. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by a young lady. The decor transports you to a different place. You can see where they make the pizzas, which I can't wait to try. Our server recommended the Tuscany pizza. We were seated right away. Our server, Carlos, is the nicest, most attentive server ever. We loved him! Thank you for the awesome service, Carlos. He deserves a raise. He made us feel welcomed (they all did, but he was amazing), at home and answered our questions. I ordered the fettuccine al funghi con tartufi, it has mushrooms and truffle cream sauce. It was delicious. Im not sure if they make the pasta from scratch, but it certainly tasted like it. The sauce was just perfect, savory and creamy. I think adding chicken or shrimp would pair really well with this dish. Next time! My bf ordered the linguini alla pescatore. It has clams, scallops, shrimp and I think calamari with tomato sauce. It was good, I liked it. The portions are pretty decent. They also offer garlic bread. My bf never really eats the bread, but today he almost finished it Lol. It was warm, garlicky and not salty. They do have Coke products, A+ in my book! They also have beer and wine. No prosecco, or bubbles, but still love this restaurant.

    Cute spot with good Italian food. Usually not crowded with both indoor and outdoor seating. Great customer service. Hits the spot for everything Italian.

    Cremini fettuccine pasta in cream sauce with truffle oil. Added chicken to this. Highly recommended.

    We stopped in again for dinner at this family-owned restaurant. They've been around for about 45 years and are a staple for Italian food in this community. I ordered the salmon and the others ordered the lasagne and linguine alla pescatore (seafood), paired with glasses of chianti wine. Everything was consistently delicious, cooked/flavored just right, and filling like last time. Highly recommend this venue for authentic Italian food.

    Stuffed Mushrooms

    Out on a date night and decided to come here. We always order Renato's pizza for home occassions--husband keeps saying he grew up eating this-- but this is the first time I've tried dining in. The place has a quiet, elegant atmosphere..very Italian and my husband loves it. Service was friendly and very accommodating. I wasn't too happy with my gnocchi but I super enjoyed the Stuffed Mushrooms and our usual favorite Cheese Pizza. My husband savored his Penne Con Salsiccia.

    Stuffed mushrooms seasoned so well

    Hidden gem. Didn't not expect despite having bought take out from here long ago. Came to fine in and the indoor seating is hidden behind the wall where you walk in to pick up and pay. Beautiful mural on the wall and cute dining area. Service was attentive and pleasant. Meal was delicious and doesn't break the bank. Loved the pasta options and the stuffed mushroom appetizer. The dessert cannoli was fresh and decadent. Would definitely come back. Cute for a date night. Easy parking. Good portions. I don't have a negative thing to say other than to blame myself for not dining in sooner! Ps- restaurant does have good accommodations for wheelchairs (wide aisles) and tables that are of friendly height. No stairs or extra steps.

    This great is great, especially when you consider an Italian restaurant that is surrounded in an Asian community full of Vietnamese restaurants. What's also fascinating is that I wasn't the only Vietnamese party on the day I went, so it should tell you something about this place. The food is great and the prices are decent, the free garlic bread is really good too.

    Such a cozy family owned restaurant! I came here with my office for lunch and they are so kind! The decor is so cute and everything we got was delish! Give it a try and support a family owned business when you're in the area!

    Side of meatballs and side of spaghetti was more than enough for 2

    Delish. Bustling indoor and patio dining. On top of dinner service. Tables are full for a reason and thankful we didn't need to wait. Soup of the day was clam chowder which was surprising. Calamari looked good.

    CALAMARI FRITTI

    Every time its fantastic! The calamari fab, the picata, the pastas. No complaints!!!

    Eggplant Parmigiana
    Mai T.

    Delicious Italian food in Westminster! A restaurant where every customer is treated VIP. Staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and kind. Complimentary bread is addicting and every dish tastes homemade. The service was impeccable with perfectly timed refills and check-in from staff. The food portions are shareable and at unbelievably affordable prices! Imagine a place cheaper than Olive Garden but of the caliber of your Italian-born neighbor. Our party ordered individual plates and we each took home plenty for a second and maybe third meal. I can't wait to come back and try more! It was such a wonderful first experience and perfect for an intimate lunch date with the girls or a romantic date!

    Came to Renato's tonight for dinner with hubby. He had the eggplant parmigiana and I had the fettuccine alfredo. Hubby's dish was yummy the tomato sauce was really good. My dish was just ok. The complimentary bread was bland not garlicky or anything. Service was good a lot of waiters and people kept walking in and out. Didn't order a pizza but they did look pretty good ..next time.

    Anybody know what the corkage fee was s here ? Thanks

    $17

    Are they opened today(on Easter)?

    Do they have outdoor dining / is the patio open and spaced out?

    Yes.

    Their number is not correct. Does anyone know their current phone number? Does their online order works?

    If you tried to call today, there is a good chance something happened to their phone line or the general Westminster area. My bf has ordered online in the past and today his call also could not go through.

    Do they have good spaghetti?

    Yes. All the food is good.

Tip: If you want to dine indoors around 5-6 PM there is option to sign yourself up on the yelp waitlist on your phone before arriving here. However wait time to get seated took about 10 mins tops.

Service was very attentive and friendly. The meal starts with complimentary bread that is similar to pita bread served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We ordered a caesar salad, shrimp rose pasta, and bolognese. The shrimp rose pasta was our favorite with such a creamy and flavorful sauce and perfectly cooked shrimp, and we could see why it's popular here! We thought the bolognese sauce was really sweet, which was unexpected, and that dish ended up being our least favorite.

The puff bread was a bit too flour-y for me but I loved the honey butter it came with. I really hope the crab roe spaghetti stays on the menu because it was delicious, great portion, and had amazing crab flavor. The pasta was also well cooked and sauce not too creamy. The berry part of the matcha berry tiramisu was the strongest so I didn't detect matcha as much. They were kind enough to provide a small slice of chocolate cake a la mode with a candle for the birthday and it was actually a great balance of flavor, not being too rich or heavy in chocolate. I would order this again separately as a solid fudge sundae. The beef carpaccio, squid ink uni pasta, spicy miso carbonara, mentaiko pizza, and sticky toffee pudding are still solid as usual. Came back yet another time, and got the beef carpaccio because I just love the truffle flavor, the two sauces, and the arugula/apple bites in between. The only improvement would be smaller slices to make it easier to eat since the larger ones are hard to pick up. The crab roe spaghetti I had to get again for the summer menu in case they decide not to keep it for fall/winter because the crab flavor is so good. My friend ordered the seafood malfadine which I was apprehensive about considering my previous experience but WOW I was surprised by how different it was this time around because when I tried a bite, they REALLY turned it around. I'm so grateful my friend decided to order it because after trying theirs, I might start ordering it again for myself now. Not sure if I had it on an off day previously or they changed the recipe but it now is actually as flavorful as the spicy miso carbonara and might actually be even better. The sausage flavor actually adds a lot of richness without being heavy or overpowering, the spice is a good kick without being actually spicy, the shrimp is delicious, but I kept going back for the sauce. INI Ristorante is one of very few restaurants I consistently keep coming back to instead of trying other new spots in the area because I can't choose my favorite out of so many good things on the menu and just want them all so I need to come with bigger groups or rotate each time I visit. A great problem to have. Their dishes are innovative, pack full flavor, and are unique enough to not find elsewhere. I never have to worry about finding parking and I love being able to reserve in advance since it gets busy. They're the spot I keep bringing friends and family to.

I had my usual: the cheese bread, calamari, and uni pasta. The cheese bread and calamari were still as amazing as they've always been. For the uni pasta, though, I actually prefer the old recipe over the newer squid ink version. My daughter and her boyfriend tried the spicy miso carbonara and, I think, the seafood mafaldine. They seemed to really enjoy both. Service was great, and there was also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. Still a solid spot, especially for the cheese bread and calamari!
