The Gnocchi was sooo salty it made me nauseas. I told the manager as I couldnt eat it....they still charged me....I was shocked....I have had pizzas from Trattoria and enjoyed them....I think they were sooo busy they messed up and didnt even take responsibility More

Excellent food and good value for money. Traditional Italian food, cooked to perfection. The place does need a stronger fan and preferably an air conditioning unit during summer, as it can become extremely hot inside (with the wood-burning pizza oven close by).

There seems to be a daily menu which are items that aren't on the normal menu. Ordered the lasagna and it was really good, decent portion size. Decent amount of meat and sauce. Than ordered the tiramisu, it's enough for two people to share and it's good.

Went there last night with family. Really good Italian food with very good service. There were several very nice specials to go with a complete menu. The creme brûlée dessert was a nice finish. The best finish was the price, which was quite reasonable.

Nice little Italian restaurant. Have wanted to come here many times, just based on what it looks like from outside and the food and ambiance certainly met my expectations. It does feel a little cramped (if this is a problem to some) and the

What a lovely gem of an Italian family run restaurant in Greenside! Great atmosphere, great service, great food! Best Tiramisu we have ever tasted! Loved the background music! Could just see and feel that a lot of the patrons are regulars

A real neighbourhood gem that goes above and beyond. My dad recently had his 60th birthday and unfortunately none of us 'kids' could be there to celebrate with my parents. We phoned the restaurant from Cape Town a few minutes prior to my

In amongst the plethora of franchised Italian diners in Johannesburg this little gem, a proper old one man Italian is the best Italian in the North. Mario, is still producing the small list of great food brilliantly. We now live in

This is the best Italian restaurant I've been to. Authentic Italian food with an authentic feel. The staff are friendly and very helpful. My wife and I had such a good time. I'm new in the area and a soon-to-be regular! Must try....

We have been going to Renatos for 14 years now, our daughter waited there while in high school. Small family restaurant for locals who don't want the Greenside or Parkhurst strip bustle. Good food served in a friendly atmosphere.

So glad we found this jewel of a restaurant. Bound to become regulars! We were 3 people, all ordered pizzas and all three pizzas were fantastic. Warm friendly staff who all went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

Very authentic old school Italian decor, cozy and cramped layout with a visible wood fired pizza oven as the heart of the restaurant. Minimal staff - 1 waiter who seemed to be serving every table pretty much on his

Hot crusty pizza with generous toppings delivered to your door within 20 minutes! Can’t ask for more. Pizzaria Renato’s in Emmerentia produces some of the finest wood burning oven pizza in Johannesburg!!

Great little restaurant. I have been coming here for at least 20 years and the food is still as good as ever. Mario, the chef, has been here since he started the restaurant in 1987! More

Consistently good and reasonably priced Italian food. Limited menu but you can always find something to your liking. Only downside for me is that they don't have decaffeinated coffee.

July 2023: Still the Best ravioli arrabiata - the house salad is always crisp and fresh. Sheila and the team run the best kept secret in Jozi. It is always a pleasure

Good old wholesome, Italian cooking. Back to basics. Nothing pretentious. Checkerd Italian tablecloths as it should be. Family dining. Renato's you are the best. More

The most Italian restaurant I know in Joburg. Cosy, simple menu, excellent food. Our memories of Italy come flooding back every time we go there, which is often!

Love this place, the food is delicious & mario & Shiela very friendly. Been going to this restaurant for over 34years. That tells you how good the food is. More

My absolute favorite local family Italian restaurant! My family’s favorite too! Fantastic pastas and pizzas, the best Italian salad you’ll ever have, tasty

For the years that Trattoria Renato has been open, they have successfully turned out wholesome food, with flavour that I can only associate to them alone.

One of the best pizzas we’ve had in a long time! Service was super and all in all an authentic Italian restaurant experience! Bravo and thank you! More

A hidden gem! Best Italian food in the area. We met the owners and they were so welcoming and warm. Think we will become regulars from now on.

This restaurant has been going for over 30 years. They make one of the best pizzas in Joburg. Thin base and delicious toppings. More

The best Italian food in the country. No wonder it's been going since the 50's. Love the atmosphere and the friendly staff

Wow what an amazing restaurant. Authentic delicious, Italian food and an amazing service. A Jozi gem!

A small, cosy, family-owned restaurant with some of the best Italian food I've eaten.

Fantastic atmosphere (like being at home) great service, good soul food. Affordable.

Good, classic, no frills, Italian cuisine. Definitely reccomended.

Best authentic Italian in Joburg.
