Our Goal is to keep tastes, character, and traditions intact—bringing you the flavors of Italy in all their glory. Keeping recipes authentic and their tastes true brought the inevitable difficulties encountered whenever you take the original food of one place to another part of the world. We try to be as original as possible, by using the best and freshest products in the market, making our pasta the old-fashioned way and putting all of our knowledge and love into every dish we serve you.

We ate outside and it was a really beautiful evening. Got wine and coffee which was very good. We had a salad as an appetizer. I wasn’t a fan of my pasta but I don’t really like marinara sauce. I switched my pasta with the person I went with, I liked theirs more. It was a cute place to have a nice quiet dinner then walk around the circle at night. Had a really great time here just talking and eating after a long busy rushed weekend.

It’s a cute place, the food is good but not great, but the service can be a little slow. The garlic bread was way too strong. We waited 30 minutes between our appetizers and our entrees. I know it’s a small kitchen and the gentleman who served us was very friendly, but there were only two other tables occupied for the majority of our time there so I expected to have our food sooner.

Renata’s Cafe Italiano located in of Orange County California is nestled directly within Old Towne Orange’s charming Plaza Historical District. Literally has Plaza Sign as wall.
1st establishment in District- Renata’s can be found on corner of Chapman Ave/Grand Street opposite city hall & Orange ‘s BBB
Renatas offers a slice of authentic Italian cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere steeped in history. The restaurant’s intimate setting provides a perfect perch #fore epic people-watching as you savor classic dishes.
As a double amputee and cancer patient, I’ve found Renata’s to be more than just a restaurant – it’s an extension of family. The Staff goes above and beyond to accommodate my needs & displays their kindness. Testament to the true spirit of this establishment. Pricing is actually below what they should be charging!
Garlic bread has most wonderful butter garlic spread then toasted…must have imho. They even recognize my voice during takeout orders, a touch that speaks volumes about their care.
The food itself is also testament to culinary passion. The veal dishes showcase the chef’s expertise, always tender and flavorful. But the true star, in my opinion, is the elegant & colorful Spumoni Egg dessert. Presentation is artistic !
This unique and delightful treat is the perfect, sweet capstone to any meal at Renata’s.
If you’re seeking a large portion, multiple course, delicious Italian meal, excellent prices, a window into Orange’s history, and a heartwarming sense of community, look no further than Renata’s Cafe Italiano.”

I hate to admit it, this was our very first time here, thanks to a recommendation from our friends Ray and Dolores Flores, who are regulars there. And So glad we agreed to come for dinner. I had their seafood stew and my wife had the Angel pasta with sausage. We LOVED IT! And the homemade Tiramisu was amazing!! We will be back!!

The pasta here was not bad as I ordered the carbonara but there are definitely better options available for pasta in the area. Expect service to be slow at certain times as the person taking the orders is also the one cooking.

First time here. Came with my parents for an early Christmas celebration. Our food was delicious, the service was great and holy cow, you need to come for the Spumoni ice cream for dessert. It was amazing. The ice cream comes in a large frozen ball that has been dipped in a dark chocolate that creates a crunchy shell. They cut it in half and lightly sprinkle cocoa powder on top for presentation. Warning, it’s a healthy serving that you could easily share. I’ll do that next time. But I ate mine all myself lol. I couldn’t stand the thought of wasting it and leaving half on my plate. So good.

Saturday lunch 2-7-23 we noticed the cook, waiter, and busboy were all the same person. I’m guessing staffing problem for slower lunchtimes. Unfortunately this made for a long wait time, no bread, and cold sides.
The chicken parmesan that I had was pretty good and hot, but not the side spaghetti or veggies.
He did an amazing job for going solo waiting on tables, going back cooking the food, serving the food and drinks. But really too much for one person. Other mistakes were made up for and promptly as he could.
Breaking it down:
Nice classic Italian decor, tables, and patio. Some parking in back, else street parking.
Food 4-stars
Staffing problem 1-star
One man doing everything 5-stars
Overall 2-stars as it did not make for the pleasant experience that was expected.

We dined here specifically because of the gluten free options available. There are many GF options to choose from because most pasta dishes you can substitute with GF pasta. My pasta was very good, need a bit of salt & pepper but once I added it was perfect.
My Husband got the meat lasagna and devoured it. Said it was delicious.
