“ After a few hiccups and miscommunication between wait staff and my friend, all was well. The host was so approachable and reasonable about orders and promptly responded. So our meals were amazing and yummy and we were able to discuss any hiccups with the restaurant that arose without anybody being offended or upset. Happy and satisfied tummies. ”
“ For a local docklands joint some good fancy pizzas around the dock. Not like the number 1 pizza place around Melbourne but definitely a more refined dinner around docklands. Staff are really nice usually get takeaway. My go tos are the pizza and the risotto style dish. ”
“ We were a table of 9 on a quiet Saturday so we were lucky to have a wonderful experience here. Just the right amount of attention and leaving us to catch up with family. We lingered happily through most of the afternoon. Lovely authentic Italian food. ”
“ We are at the Docklands for the weekend and dined at our very favorite restaurant Fantastic friendly service , relaxing amenity and delicious food Tonight was oysters , veal saltimbocca and barramundi with a really tasty Italian Pinot Grigio Can recommend ”
“ Our first visit to Renzos tonight. Service was warm and welcoming. We chose Bruschetta to start with which was a pizza dough with fresh tomatoes, oil and basil which was yummy. My partner chose the lasagne for main as he is always on the lookout for a great one, well he commented that it was the best lasagne he has ever had. Silky fresh lasagne sheets with a deep bolognaise sauce. I chose fish of the day which was barramundi, wow it was perfectly cooked with a potato mash and spinach. Dessert was lemon cheesecake and tiramisu which was delicious. Chardonnay from the Yarra Valley for me and my partner loved the red from Sicily. Thank you for a wonderful night. I highly recommend Renzos and we will definitely be back ”
“ Best Vegan Italian Night in Melbourne? YES.⬇ Save this post & bring your vegan crew next time! Had the most unforgettable vegan Italian dinner at Renzo’s Bar & Restaurant in Docklands ???????? Right on the water, the vibe is both cozy and elegant — perfect for a long evening with great food and conversation. I was honestly blown away by the vegan options. The kitchen team really knows how to celebrate fresh produce in true Italian style — nothing felt like a compromise. The vegan pizza had a thin, crispy base and bold, balanced toppings — simple, rustic, perfect. The risotto-style dish I ordered was full of flavour, creamy (no dairy!), and cooked al dente. Big thanks to the chef — you’ve mastered plant-based Italian without losing any of the tradition or heart. The staff were lovely, attentive, and made sure I felt fully welcome as a vegan diner. Truly one of my best Italian food experiences in Melbourne so far. I’ll absolutely be back — and next time, bringing more friends.
