Renzo's is a Tampa staple. Love the new location on Howard and Cleveland. I went for the Argentina FIFA game and the atmosphere was electric. I dont eat beef or pork and the menu had several suitable options for my diet. I had one of the salads and the chimichurri chicken...both dishes were delicious! The wine was great! Service was fantastic. The owner Renzo is a great guy. Definitely check it out!!! read more

Stopped by Renzo's to watch the Argentina World Cup game, with a reservation. It was obviously very busy, and they said they overbooked on Open Table. Wasn't really a big deal, we waited 15-20 mins while watching the game standing in the bar area having a drink. After we got sat, service was good, a little rushed, but considering how busy and loud the restaurant was, wasn't a big deal. Food was excellent. Well priced. If you're looking for a steakhouse, visit Renzo's, you won't be disappointed. We'll be back for sure. read more

Renzo's has relocated to S. Howard! They opened on Father's Day of this year. The space is beautiful, plenty of seating inside and out. Two bar areas. Open kitchen concept. We came for lunch. My husband had the filet with veggies, it was amazing! The filet comes with a side of Gorgonzola that is a creamy bit of heaven. There was also a chimichurri that was spectacular. I had the steak burger and it was delicious. They grind steak into a patty and my god is it good! The dessert was incredible, it was difficult to make a choice. We also had a nice bottle of Willamette Valley Pinot for a reasonable 40.00 (I noticed they have Wine Wednesday- I think 1/2 off bottles & no corkage fee for BYOB?!). Service was great. We parked down the block on Howard /on the street, but now know that we need to come down Cleveland from the east to get into their private lot, I couldn't wrap my brain around it when we were headed north on Howard. We will be back! read more

Renzo's is one of those Tampa staples that never disappoints. It has that warm, neighborhood steakhouse feel. The steaks are the highlight. Perfectly seasoned, expertly cooked, and served sizzling hot. The ribeye was rich and tender with just the right char. Their chimichurri adds that bright, herby punch that takes everything up a notch. The empanadas are a must to start -- flaky, flavorful, and hard to share. I also love the beef carpaccio as a starter. The sides are classic and generous, and if you have room, don't skip dessert. Service feels personal and attentive without being overbearing. It's a great spot for a date night, family dinner, or even just a glass of wine and steak at the bar. Tampa has plenty of steakhouses, but Renzo's keeps me coming back for the consistency, quality, and welcoming atmosphere. read more

Renzo's is a great local option if you are looking for an alternative to a chain like Outback or Longhorn that offers steak with a definitive Argentinean influence. The place is not big by any means, but it has a relaxing and welcoming ambiance. The service was friendly, professional and attentive and the food was overall very good. I went with the ribeye and for my side went with the potato salad. The ribeye was $38 and tge side was $6. Both were very good. I would definitely recommend Renzo's and I give it five stars. read more

Renzo's - Ribeye steak with potato salad - Argentine Near Me - Tampa, Florida

We decided to try something different since we were in Tampa and made reservations for 8:15 PM. When we arrived, the entrance was packed and there was no host or hostess in sight. Several couples were waiting. While standing there, we heard a woman tell another patron she did not have a reservation, yet when the manager came out to seat guests, he seated a large group and then that party of three before the rest of us who had reservations. Shortly after, he loudly announced, "Reservations first," which was confusing considering what we all had just witnessed. When we were finally seated, we were initially placed at the worst table in the room by the kitchen and bathroom but were accommodated after requesting a move. We then waited 10-15 minutes before the manager instructed Daniel to take care of us. Daniel ended up being the highlight of the evening--professional, apologetic, and attentive despite circumstances clearly outside of his control. We ordered empanadas, only to find out the flavors we wanted were sold out. Daniel brought cheesesteak, four-cheese, and shredded beef instead. The cheesesteak had decent flavor but was dry. Overall, the empanadas were very doughy and the meat lacked moisture. We then ordered the All Beef Parrillada. When it arrived, my wife checked the temperature and tasted a small piece. Immediately after, a server returned and said the dish wasn't ours and took it back. We watched her walk into the kitchen and then bring the same tray out to another table seated two tables away--who had been seated after us. That was extremely concerning. To make matters worse, we were then informed that mashed potatoes were no longer available and needed to select another side--yet the table that received the dish we had touched was served mashed potatoes. We ended up with extra rice and spinach. The spinach was oily with no noticeable garlic, salt, or seasoning. The rice was plain white rice with peas and carrots and little flavor. The steak itself, however, was well-seasoned and prepared nicely. During our visit, we also noticed another Black couple seated next us who waited at least 30 minutes without being greeted or even served water. They eventually left. Shortly after, the table was seated with white males who were greeted and attended to within 10 minutes. That observation was very difficult to ignore after talking to them. Daniel did not charge us for the empanadas, spinach, or the sangria (which he made promptly so we wouldn't experience another long wait). The sangria was very good. His professionalism and sincere attitude were the only things that salvaged the evening. Overall, the service inconsistencies, food execution, and handling of dishes--especially serving a plate that had already been touched--were disappointing and extremely concerning. We came for a different experience, but unfortunately left questioning whether we would return. 2 stars for steak taste and season and Daniel's effort. read more

Service was good. Our waitress was very sweet. Ambiance is trendy. Nice for date night. The grilled food is good such as the sausages and skirt steak with chimichurri but they ran out of empanadas and the ceviche was different from my expectations. read more

We decided to try Renzo's with a group of friends - to reconnect and spend a lovely evening with one another. Life is so fast that we sometimes forget to slowdown and spend time with those who mean the most to us. So- one of our party chose Renzo's because "I drive past the restaurant all the time and wanted to check it out" Our party of 5 drove together and we arrived around 6pm in a Friday night. We noticed that the restaurant was relatively sparse with customers and the lighting extremely bright- not much ambiance. I asked the host if it was normally that bright and if the lights dimmed any- and he said it was normal. So there ya have it. We were seated and looked over the menu to select a bottle of wine- the ones that one of our friends wanted were unavailable. As a matter of fact the server- Daniel- let us know that the top half portion of the wine list was unavailable and needed to be restocked- he explained that the restaurant sometimes offers specials and discounts on their wines and folks buy them up. I said- well the restaurant should keep a stock knowing this. Anyhoo- they decided on another bottle and went with that which seemed to work out fine. We decided to order apps- really wanted to try the empanadas - they offer beef,chicken,spinach and ham and cheese. Spinach was unavailable. So we tried the others. Also ordered the Gambas Al Ajillo- I really wanted to see how it compared to the same dish at the famed Columbia restaurant. Well, it fell short- the shrimp were large which was great but there was not a whole lot of flavor in the accompanying garlic oil. The empanadas were very doughy - the beef were "ok", the chicken were like eating moist saw dust- not much flavor, but the ham and cheese were delicious! Now on to the entree's. I ordered the churrasco steak medium. It was delicious. It was accompanied by white rice and I ordered maduros. The maduros were a bit overcooked to the point that they caramalized a bit which leads to a candy-like stickiness on the teeth. They tasted pretty good though! Everyone else seemed to enjoy their steaks. The portions are large. My husband ordered the braised short ribs which he enjoyed - it was a very large serving so he took the rest home. For desert we tried the -CHAJÁ - described as- "Renzo's signature dessert. Layered cake of "Dulce de Leche" caramel, peaches and walnuts. Covered in Chantilly cream and topped with meringue crumbles." It was delicious!! Daniel was our server and he was really wonderful- very helpful, kind, attentive and apologetic for the items that the restaurant did not have. I razzed him during the evening with little quips- "are you sure they aren't out of churrasco??" He played along in good fun. Renzo's isn't bad by any means - it's a decent restaurant. Just did not garner 4 stars or above. Would we try it again? Hmmmm- not sure. Once was probably enough for us. read more

I came to this restaurant when it first opened, back when I used to work in Tampa. Their quality of service and food have always been top, now with their new interior, it's an even better experience. Unfortunately I was too busy eating and didn't take a picture, but I do recommend the Renzo platter if you want to sample their meats, the seafood is also amazing as well. A definite return if I'm back in Tampa again. read more

They did a major renovation and it looks super chic. It was totally dead when we walked in around 1pm on a Monday. Took a minute to have someone come out and seat us. And then we waited a bit to do our orders... the main reason I wanted to go was for their lunch menu. Much to my surprise that does not exist anymore... so sad because I remember it was such a good deal for lunch and so well worth it to go there... we got the empanadas and Pinacha steak with spinach. The empanadas were yummy. We got the chicken, beef and ham& cheese. I liked the ham & cheese the best. The steak was a weird mix of tender yet super chewy... it was seasoned well but needed something and I got a side of Chimichurri sauce. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture. It had a lot of grizzle but it also came with 3 small steaks so the price was decent for $26 for that dish. The spinach was basic and boring... just parboiled and plated. read more

Renzo's is a very well established stake house. I use to go with my family all of the times but they sadly started something called a large group fee. My family consist of 6 people. It's expensive enough when you are ordering 40 dollar plates. The extra fee just seems like a money grab. Would recommend for date spot but not a family dine in experience. Now the food is super tasty I highly recommend getting the different cuts of steak! Staff is also very kind read more

My wife and I shared a porterhouse steak and ordered sides for our meal. The porterhouse was only $65 for a 28 ounce steak. The steak was dry aged and they even Sliced it for us to be easier to share. It was perfectly cooked and juicy with outstanding flavor. The service is excellent and very friendly. We will definitely be back here again. read more

I'm a big meat fan, and the meats here are packed with yummy flavors. Definitely would recommend

Cant do a 4.5 but we really enjoyed it. Comfortable atmosphere; chill music in the background. We loved the empanadas, that were plenty stuffed. We got the Chilean Sea Bass and the Salmon. Both were very good (7.1). Ended with Tres Leches and the Chaja,,,,,,the Fn bomb! Didn't have room for coffee since we were Sangriad out but this might be a great spot just for coffee and dessert, since the desserts were so good. Overall, we really liked it and will definitely be back. Thanks to Andrea. read more

Renzo's - At the bar - Argentine Near Me - Tampa, Florida

WOW... what a treat to come have dinner here. Came here on a Sunday evening. Really wanted an empanada, but they had run out. Bummer. Ordered their Ribeye Steak with a side of House Salad. As an appetizer, I ordered their Gambas (Shrimp) and it was really amazing. The aroma of the shrimp was superb. I forgot to count how many pieces of shrimp the dish had, but it was plenty. When the steak came, I was amazed at how large it was and how good the seasoning it had. I ordered Medium Rare, but it came out with some areas medium. It was okay, since it still tasted great. The quality of the meat was very good. I also had a glass of Malbec to wash down the meat. I had a great time here and too bad I couldn't get the Parrilla since it was too much food for me. read more

The ambiance was nice and the location was in an area with other things to do but some the food wasn't very good. The snapper was pretty dry which was disappointing and the presentation wasn't very appealing. The Caesar salad was delicious and I did get to try the Riesling which you can't really go wrong with a good Riesling. Overall it's an okay place to go if you happen to be in the area and you and friends want a glass of wine, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

Food, service & ambiance were great! We ordered the All Beef Parilla and the steaks were tender and flavorful. Will be back.

Why 4 stars? Great steak, casual environment and a solid alternative to other places in the area. Friendly servers and good wine selection earns this place a multi-visit on my list when my cravings for meat need to be met. In my most recent travel back to Tampa (my job has me going all over the place), Renzo's is on the list of places I love to go eat at after a long week. The big meat trays (Parrilla), the wine, and the small restaurant feel is just what is needed to unwind. Add some Tostones, Fried Yucca and a caprese salad and you have yourself a solid meal. Between my wife and I we always have a little extra to bring home as well. The different cuts of Argentina style beef all have a unique but delicious consistency that we always enjoy. If you're into having a nice casual steak dinner, with plenty to eat, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. Oh and don't forget to save room for dessert, or bring some home to have :) read more

Items from the Happy Hour Menu - 1. Chicken Milanesa - 5/10 Fried well, no seasoning. 2. Potato Salad 2/10 - very bland. 3. Ceviche 10/10 - not going to take off, however would have like more onions ans possibly bell peppers. 4. Argentine Shrimp 10/10 - grilled well with light garlic taste. 5. Calamari - 1/10 - taste like Gorton's Fisherman frozen food - no texture at all. 6. Margarita -0/10 - taste wine based -fake drink Not sure if I would return read more

Let me start off by saying I love a good steak. I had high hopes for Renzo's, which was a quick disappointment. My sister and I had a noon Mother's Day lunch reservation to avoid the crowds. Right away, the service felt rushed. We arrived five minutes early and were quickly swept to our table. The restaurant was mostly empty, but ok, let's hurry along. Because of the reviews we were eager to try the argentinas empanadas, two beef, and two chicken, which both lacked flavor. The beef was dry, and the chicken was just bland. We did enjoy the baked crust but nothing else. I was not eager to pay $95 for a steak after this. Instead, we both ordered the steak medallions with fries and a side of veggies, hoping the flavor would inspire us to order more. The beef tips were from a cheap chewy cut of steak, which also lacked flavor. The fries were old and soggy from the oil the meat was cooked in. I immediately returned my food. We really wanted to love this place, but the average service and flavorless food we did not. read more

Located in a plaza it's easy to miss this place. In case you can't find parking in the front, there are lots in the back. I had a business dinner and Renzo's was able to cater for a table of 20. With our reservations, seating was immediate even with a partial group. Bottles of wines and water quickly followed. Staff were friendly and accommodating. I ordered the lobster ravioli. The sauce was light and fresh. The shrimp and lobster was not over cooked which is key to a dish like this. Other individuals in my party ordered the steaks. They came out as ordered and on elevated platters! All in all, everyone had an enjoyable time and left with a full stomach. read more

Me and my partner's favorite place to get steaks! I definitely recommend getting the parillas, it's a really great value and you get so many great cuts of meat. Everything was super juicy and tender, I think my favorite had to be either the short ribs or the pork chops. I also love getting the yucca fries, they're always super crispy and the mayo sauce pairs perfectly with them. My only quip with this place is every time I've gone in the day time, it's weirdly dark inside even with the windows and lights above. Please check Renzo's out! read more

Worst meal ever. Ordered delivery through DoorDash. I ordered linguine bolognese and what I received was not even close. I immediately called the restaurant and spoke to Mary the manager on duty Saturday night. Mary advised I must contact DoorDash for a refund. Well, guess what? DoorDash doesn't issue refunds for poor quality food. It is the restaurant's responsibility to fix this problem. Not the delivery company. I expect a refund for this inedible mess.

This is a lovely place. The food was amazing. Service was a tad bit slow, but overall, l had a

Basket of 6 tiny stale bread slices for table of four. Appetizer of Filet Medallions was served with obvious frozen fries and a side of plain ketchup(!). My friend had to send back her steak twice because it was absolutely raw in the middle, causing her to completely miss eating with the rest of our group. The 1 1/2 hour wait for food was a little extreme, even for early evening NYE. read more
