Renato's - London

I decided to try this new restaurant for their specialty Italian breakfasts. It used to be the Toddle Inn, a popular restaurant on Richmond Street for almost 30 years. I ordered the Eggs Carbonara with a side of bacon and coffee, while my partner had the Italian Skillet. My dish included two baked eggs on a bed of mixed vegetables in a delicious carbonara sauce, while my partner had scrambled eggs on a generous portion of potatoes and fresh bacon. Coffee was also included, and everything was served efficiently and hot. There was some parking available, and the interior was clean and bright. We looked at their lunch and dinner menus and they seemed interesting. Overall, we didn't have any complaints and would happily return. It would be beneficial for the restaurant to have a stronger online presence with a full menu available for potential diners to view. Participating in popular events like Londonlicious could also benefit this new restaurant. While it may be a bit pricey, the quality makes it worth it for a unique dining experience. I believe good service, cleanliness, properly prepared food, and unique menu options are worth the cost.

I really enjoy this restaurant! I eat here at least once a week. I love the spaghetti bolognese, penne amatriciana, fettucinni alfredo, and so much more. The mussels and tiramisu are also fantastic. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The prices are fair. They also have unique dishes on the breakfast menu, like Italian-style poached eggs. Delicious!

Feels very cramped, like they are in a hallway so when you walk past the first couple tables you have to squeeze between other patrons and the wall. We did ask to be seated in the very back, which I think was a mistake because the lights are all at eye level and the entire bulb is visible so it's a little blinding if you want to look at each other. They brought out chilled purified spring water in a sealed bottle, which I was unable to open and had to wait for my partner to come back from the restroom to open it. They did not have a non alcoholic drink menu but they did have soda and nestea when we asked. My food was good, my partner's food was good. Other than being cramped it was a pleasant atmosphere and if I'm ever in the area I'll probably visit again. I ordered the Asparagus Pasta, with 4 cheese sauce instead of the white wine sauce. There was one, maybe two cut up stalks of asparagus in my pasta, very lacking. My partner ordered the steak stroganoff and it was fairly tasty. We also ordered the mozzarella balls, they were fairly decent sized, about 4 bites per ball for me, about two bites for my partner. The garlic bread was not worth buying. It was five dollars for two small slices of bread.

Every single pasta I’ve tried has been outstanding. Quality is unmatched. Love the unique pasta creations it offers. 10 out of 10. Not to mention their amazing customer service. ALSO great portion sizes !

I love this place! I dine in at least once a week. Love the spaghetti bolognese, penne amatriciana, fettucinni alfredo, I can go on and on. The mussels and tiramisu are also excellent. The place is cozy and comfortable. Prices are reasonable. Oh yeah, the breakfast menu also has some unique dishes such as Italian-style poached eggs. Yum!
