LIKE BEING BACK IN ITALY!
Its the perfect balance of authentic Italian food cooked with love and crazy Italian service and jokes from the staff (all in a good way)
Renzo’s Bar is the perfect venue for every occasion; from a date night to a dinner with friends.
I booked it on a whim to eat before watching the drone show and it was above expectations and I'll be back again.
BEST PLACE TO EAT IN DOCKLANDS !!!

Went there on a Saturday night and experienced atrocious customer service. Lack of attention to customers, table service was extremely slow, to even get a glass of water was an ordeal. We witnessed the manager being rude to several customers, including a woman with small children. Incorrect dishes were served, with zero care for fixing it. To top it off, we were delivered our bottle of corked wine without any way to open it - eventually were delivered a bottle opener. We won’t be returning.

Exceptional Italian in Docklands! If you love a good Italian that's close to the city, give this guys a try and thank me later
They nailed the food we ordered from entree to mains. The fish was perfectly cooked, creamy pasta was al dente and generous in size, sopresa pizza had enough kick and flavourful
🐟Fish of the day - Barramundi
🍝Creamy chicken mushrooms tagiatelle
🍕Sopresa and olive pizza

Fantastic restaurant. We went on a Tuesday night, so it wasn't really busy. Really nice atmosphere, very attentive and friendly service, and great tasting dishes. Prices are advice average, but well worth it. Nice cocktail range and an extensive wine list. Pizza bases are fantastic - fluffy and crisp. Desserts are divine and with lots of attention. Definitely go.

Went to dinner on Xmas day... location is good. But food was very average, pasta's were not the best and quite bland. We were served by an older gentleman, would have appreciated a little bit more courtesy/ politeness from his part and if he wrote the drinks order down rather than trying to memorize an order for 11 people.... Having had to then do a few back n forths.

Was here for dinner the other night, the food is fresh and delicious. The bruschetta was delicious and served on focaccia! My seafood linguine was light and seafood was fresh. My partner's creamy chicken pasta (part of their specials) was light and creamy(not heavy at all)! The desserts were also amazing! Chocolate mousse and Tiramisu. The older waiter took our orders without a notepad and the others who served us were also very professional and friendly.

This is a decent Italian restaurant on the NewQuay promenade. It has a very large outdoor patio (which was closed when friends and I went there for lunch). The proprietor knew our friends (we were visiting off a cruise ship), so seating and service was fast and friendly.
They have a very good selection of appetizers, pastas, pizzas, salads and main courses. I had one of their pizzas, which was very good. My wife had a ham and cheese calzone, which she didn't particular care for.
It was a good Italian lunch. Not bad at all.

I went here for dinner for a friend's birthday.
The décor of the restaurant was quite nice and quite contemporary. There were nice views of the marina as we went on a night with a clear sky. The service was extremely prompt, due to there being only one other table occupied that wasn't ours. This aspect, of course, is subject to differences, depending on time of day. The seats are comfortable, if that matters to you (it doesn't to me).
The music played was some mainstream pop from a few years back, I don't mind it but some may dislike the music. I was more interested in how

Not your average Italian pizza joint, Renzo's is one of the better Italian restaurants in Docklands specialising in Sicilian cuisine. Service can be a bit hit and miss but the food is usually quite good, reminding me of our time in Sardinia. Try something different to your usual, and you may be surprised!

Found this place through the Livingsocial website so decided to give it a go on a voucher. Unfortunately the view wasn't too good the night we went - miserable actually due to the rain & wind, but obviously that was controlled by Mother Nature, not the restaurant.
The service was pretty fast with friendly natured staff. Virtually everything was on offer from the menu on the voucher, unlike some restaurants that reduce the menu, so good on them for this. The presentation of the food was also good.
But unfortunately that is where my positive feedback stops. The entree wasn't too bad

RENZO'S BAR, Docklands deserves a good 3.5 out of 5, without a doubt..
"...FABULOUS VISTA.. CLASSY SPACE.. EUROPEAN FEEL.. HARD WORKING CREW.. DELISH ITALIAN MENU..."
My son's 16th Birthday.. Wanted some place a little more 'upmarket.. He wanted a nice steak.. We support the Docklands.. Lots of good people have invested lots of good money on dining venues.. But, still not 'flourishing'.. I don't know why.. Can the eateries hold out.. I sure as hell hope the good ones can or the whole place is gonna turn into a wasteland.. OMG what a tragedy if that happens

A nice place. It is quiet and on the waterfront. It has great staff and they ARE happy to accept all groupons. During summer it is better to dine outside in the patio area.
The food, out of three visits, has been I fantastic every time and has always had a very pleasing appearance. And when you order a medium rare steak they come pretty damn close to making it medium rare.
If you are in the docklands, this is a nice place to visit.
However, their menu has changed to no longer include ANY chicken, which rally annoyed me and many menu items have now also disappeared that should have remained

We bought a groupon for $59 for three course meal and 2 glasses of wine for dinner for two. Didn't have any problems using it or making a booking straight away. Very nice food though very loud environment with lots of restaurant noise for a busy Friday night. Was served promptly and food came out quickly. Food was delicious Italian food though drowned in olive oil. Prices were high though expected for a waterfront restaurant. Only issue was they charged us extra for soft drink as we didnt want the wine as we don't drink alcohol instead of just swapping out the wine. Staff were friendly

DON'T EAT HERE, BAD BUSINESS!!! If I could give it no stars I would!!! Read the other reviews, not worth it anyway. For a place that isn't busy ever they should be willing to take the vouchers that they agree to sell!!!!!
I called and the manager says that he can do whatever he wants, as far as not honoring the voucher. You just lost my business and business from all of my friends. I'll also be letting the concierge know at the hotel so he doesn't recommend this place any longer.
F this place!!!!
I bought a voucher on "OUR DEALS", BAD IDEA DON'T DO IT

Decided to check out Renzo's Bar Cafe Italiano on a fresh, clear Saturday afternoon, having abandoned my hopes for finding a car parking space at the near by Costco. After a poor start to my day, things weren't helped by the waiter here making bad jokes that I didn't particularly appreciate. Not to be a grumpy dude with no sense of humour, but telling me there is "no room for me" because they're "all booked out" as a sarcastic jab at the fact that the restaurant was near empty is not particularly comedic by any means that I can judge. However, after that
