There was plenty of seating outside, but they seated us downstairs inside. Restrooms were okay, not overly clean. I had ordered the fried octopus and the swordfish pasta with eggplant and tomato (so fresh). Both were delicious and came in large portions. There was also free wifi. Service was friendly up until we told them that we had wanted several pieces of cake for the table and then changed our mind to go get more gelato instead and also that we were paying with a large amount of vouchers that we had been given in our Jubilee package (understandable though). 2025 #56

Welcome to the carb carnival. Next stop on our food tour, daring you to try just one more slice…read moreafter your pants have already waved the white flag. This is no ordinary pizza place, it's a forno, which is Italian for oven. Naturally, someone here looked at the bread, looked at the toppings, and said, Yes, this shall be pizza now. We kicked things off with the Margherita, the classy queen of pizzas, literally. Named after Queen before Italy decided to liberate itself, this was your classic tomato-mozzarella-basil situation. Red, Green and White like the Italian Flag. Regal. Nostalgic. Tastes like a monarchy that actually works. Then came the potato pizza, which, let me tell you, was a surprise carb ambush. Like, Oh cute, a slice of starch on starch. Bread with potatoes on it. For when your body is craving a food coma. And then came the Marinara, my personal Roman romance. No cheese, all attitude. Spicy, saucy, simple. Like that one ex who was too intense but kind of unforgettable. Let's talk style: Roman pizza is not your floppy Neapolitan mess that folds into a pizza burrito the moment it hits your plate. No no, Roman pizza stands its ground. It's a little thicker and definitely crunchier. You don't need to roll it, cradle it, or whisper encouragement. It just is. And I love it more than I probably should. La Renella is where bread goes to find its higher purpose which is to be pizza.

We chose the Suckling Pig, a Burratta, and Polpettte(meatballs). A small complimentary appetizer arrived. A nice piece of I believe to be ricotta with a bit of pesto on top and a wonderful slice of a salami which was the special of the month. I believe they referred to it as Easter salami. A great way to start. Our bread arrived and we could have been happy with just bread. Had to make ourselves stop eating before the food started arriving. The food started arriving: - Suckling Pig arrived and I was a bit taken back as it was served cold. But it worked. It was served on crunchy bread and topped with pickled vegetables and a dab of mustard. I could have had a larger plate and it be my meal it was so good. - La Burrata Pugliese con Pomodorini was a large burrata cheese with fresh black pepper. I was garnished with semi-dried cherry tomatoes and fried sage. Perfect. - Polpette came last. Three beautiful meatballs made with a mixture of veal, beef and pork and served in a tomato sauce with equal amounts of polenta. Knew we would love this dish as we always get it when we visit and will continue with our ritual. Complimentary little dessert arrived which was a biscotti with a chocolate dipping sauce. A very nice gesture. Service was outstanding. The small restaurant has seats in every nook and corner which just makes it homey. Highly recommend that you book in advance. This place is popular for a good reason.
