“ Very warm environment! I love the atmosphere. The food is great, every time I ordered different foods and all is great very fresh and tasty, the service is excellent as well. ”

“ I've been twice. Both times were great experiences. Lovely service, beautiful ambiance, and lovely environment for a tasty Italian meal. Go ahead and start off with that bread service. I've enjoyed the sea bass, trout, spinach, mashed potatoes and the tiramisu! It's definitely worth a stop. ”

“ The service was excellent and the bread that they serve is an experience in and of itself. I had the chicken Parmesan with fettuccine Alfredo on the side, and I highly recommend it. ”

“ I had a latte, stuffed mushrooms, calamari, and veal Marsala. The food was unmatched - this will be one of my go to places moving forward for Italian. The ambiance and service is some of the best I have received in the Alpharetta area. ”

“ I attended a wedding rehearsal dinner here (technically Upstairs at Rena's) and was pleasantly surprised! We found easy parking in the lot in front, although there was also valet available. There must have been close to 80-100 people, and when we arrived, we enjoyed drinks at the bar while mingling before sitting down for dinner. Dinner included 2 options for an appetizer (caesar salad or chicken noodle soup), some mains (meat ravioli, a meat dish, and a fish dish), and then several little desserts at a dessert table (cannoli's, tiramisu, and ricotta cheese cake). Everything was tasty, and the service was great! Bathrooms were very clean, although only 2 stalls made for a bit of a wait at times. All in all, I felt that the venue was great for a rehearsal dinner! ”

“ I booked this about 6 weeks or so in advance for an early Friday evening reservation. They are located a few blocks south of downtown Alpharetta, in a small plaza of various businesses. The plaza surrounds its parking lots. There seemed to be some valet parking, but there was also plenty of self-parking (at least when we arrived around 6 p.m.; it may get more crowded later). We were greeted and promptly shown to our table. The staff was uniformly friendly and efficient. The layout was basically a single large brick-walled space, but the noise level wasn't too bad. The bar and wine display cooler takes up one corner. They seemed to be fairly busy when we were there; I assume reservations are a must. There were also some patio tables outside - maybe 5 or 6, I think. The menu is mainly pastas and seafood, along with a few other options. My wife got the trout and liked it. My mushroom ravioli was good as well. We each got a small side salad, which were not tiny. We also split a chocolate dessert, which we enjoyed. The wine was reasonably priced and they appeared to have a good selection. Pricing was in line with the fine dining vibe, but the place wasn't super-formal. It was a good value for what you get. I enjoyed our meal here and would be happy to dine here again. ”

“ Lobster ravioli all time, every time. Come for the lobster ravioli, stay for more lobster ravioli! Nice atmosphere for a special night of Italian feasting. Lighting is low, one might even say romantic. A solid spot for that special someone or a celebratory dinner out. ”

“ I met a couple of colleagues here recently for a dinner and everything was great. The bread is delicious, for starters. The ambience is warm and inviting, and the service was fantastic. My favorite type of server is one who is attentive without being pesky. Especially for a business dinner meeting, this is an important factor for me. The food was very good and I would certainly eat here again. ”

“ I am always in the mood for Italian food, even if I don't think I am. Rena's is located in the new(ish) development - The Maxwell - in downtown Alpharetta right off Main Street. It has a beautiful interior and an industrial, modern aesthetic with gorgeous light fixtures and lots of seating options. Service was fantastic, and our waitress made sure to explain all the specials and offered plenty of recommendations when we weren't sure where to start. Complimentary bread is offered for the table, and the menu does have a variety of antipasta (apps) and salads to start with, and I chose to go with a caprese salad. I give it a 10/10 just for the freshness. I actually ordered an antipasta for my main course, and I'm glad I did because it was plenty of food! The shrimp and scallop scampi dish was top notch and the scallops were seared to absolute perfection. It has a lemon white wine sauce and comes paired with yummy and crunchy garlic toast. I chose to add pasta for a small extra fee and they even let you choose what type of noodle. I went fettuccine because it seemed great for a scampi. They do accept reservations and also offer takeout, but no delivery. Definitely recommend making a reservation. I didn't save enough room for dessert, but will be back for some seasonal gelato and cheesecake. ”

“ 5 Stars for a great ambiance and tasty Italian food in a beautifully done dining/shopping center. I was in town and able to grab a reservation for dinner at Rena's Italian Fishery & Grill in Alpharetta. Right of the bat, I was impressed with the center where the restaurant is located. It's clearly newly developed and had some really cute shops, restaurants, and even a Pilates studio. Another plus- plenty of parking. As we were seated, we commented on the dim lighting and atmosphere- it feels like a good spot for a date! Our sever, Citlali, got us set up with drinks. I wasn't drinking alcohol that night, so I'll have to return to try the espresso martinis I keep reading about! We ended up ordering a Caprese salad to share and I opted for a mushroom ravioli. The Caprese was stacked high and came with plenty of fresh basil and balsamic glaze. We were offered pepper and I would highly recommend this addition to play off of the sweet and acidic glaze. My mushroom ravioli came with a creamy sauce and I was sure I wouldn't eat more than a third of it given the portion size, but I truly had to stop myself from devouring every last bite. It was rich and worth repeating. Overall, a solid meal with a great ambiance and friendly service! ”
