Renato's Italian Ristorante & Grille
Stuart, FL
Delicious!
Loved my gluten-free shrimp scampi! I usually avoid Italian places because most don’t have gluten-free pasta to offer. Beautiful HUGE shrimp and just the right amount of pasta and the scampi sauce was spot-on, with plenty of garlic, just the way I like it. My husband adored his manicotti, we’ve been searching for a place that has it and he was very happy. The only complaint I have is about the balsamic salad dressing. It was just like someone covered my salad in oil and put a few drops of balsalmic vinegar on it, I didn’t even eat it and was never asked why. The service is a bit spotty, hit or miss. But over all, I would recommend this place for flavorful Italian cuisine.
Dishes Tried:
Shrimp Scampi
So delicious! Huge shrimp and plenty of garlic. Perfect portion of pasta, most places heap the plate with pasta, diluting the wonderful flavors of butter, wine and garlic but they really know how to showcase the main attraction here, the shrimp and scampi sauce! I was pleasantly surprised that they offered gluten-free pasta, and it was so good!
House salad
The salad was okay but the dressing was not! Mostly oil, broken and flavorless. The chef should invest in a blender to keep the dressing emulsified so that it has good, balanced flavor. It was like they coated the greens in oil and as an afterthought, put a few drops of balsamic vinegar on top.
Manicotti
Perfect portion and delicious!
