Went to this place after getting off the road all the way from Westchester with my elderly mother…read morebecause she wanted eggplant Parmesan and she had eaten from this place before when a relative was staying at a hospital rehabilitation center nearby and remembered the food being good, so we went to have some lunch. We were seated in the outdoor area, which is nice on a humid day as You can get a decent breeze. 99% of the people who were there were just enjoying their their food and socializing, We decided to sit at a table near a window for whatever reason there was a gentleman at this table who decided that it was okay for him to vape while he was sitting down instead of exiting the restaurant. Not only did he decide that it was okay to vape, he decided that it was okay to blow his vapors onto my mother's head and engulf us in his gaping experience. Instead of noticing (full time hostess in the immediate area), automatically reseating us, apologizing and telling the man that is NOT okay to vape in the restaurant I had to flag a server down and let them know that we wanted a different table. Pretty good service but I really thought that that was a gross oversight on part of the restaurant like indoor smoking is illegal in the first place and vaping really isn't any better (arguably worse depending on what scientific data you're looking at), plenty people have respiratory issues and just preference period. No one should be forced to sit anywhere where a no vaping policy isn't being enforced in 2026. Really disappointed that I can't give this place a higher than a three star rating as a result because the food is pretty good and the servers were quick and pleasant, but the smoking issue to me is a gross oversight as far as basic customer service goes. People shouldn't be made to feel like they're being weird for wanting a different table because they don't want to be surrounded by anything but oxygen, Do better folks. Tried to call and speak with a manager BEFORE leaving this review, was left on hold for close to 10 mins however manager was extremely apologetic and pretty appalled he personally stated that vaping IS against their policy and that the staff should have absolutely been enforcing that. Welp, that's what complaints are for right? Food is decent and staff is respectful but I don't know if I'd go back given that experience if I have alternative choices in the area just trying to enjoy some lunch, drama and discomfort is not necessary indoor vaping is outlawed for a reason people violating that shouldn't get to just go about their day with zero consequences while everyone else is annoyed or having their lung / cardiovascular health put at risk involuntarily. YMMV

However, our most recent experience was incredible. My siblings and I had a miscommunication and realized we did not have a cake for my mother's birthday. I called Renatos on Saturday 7/17 at 8:30am and requested a cake. Pina, was the woman who helped me. She was pleasant, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. My sister and I were both so pleased at the excellent customer service. The cake was ready within 2 hours and was perfect. When I went to pick it up, Pina helped me in store. She was so kind! Not only did she help me place the order, but she helped to carry the cake outside to my car. Just phenomenal customer service! If you're looking for a cake, I can't recommend Renato's enough! Thank you Pina for being so wonderful!

4/5 Rainbow cookie…read morelovers, this one's for you! We are OBSESSED with all things rainbow, so when we stumbled upon Belli Baci Bakery's booth at the Feast of San Gennaro, we knew we had to stop and support this Staten Island bakery! Naturally, we ended up buying almost one of everything. The surprising highlight of our little rainbow dessert haul? The rainbow cookie cupcake! This was hands down our favorite of everything we tried. 5/5 stars! We also really enjoyed the rainbow cookie cannoli, which was such an interesting and creative take on two classic Italian desserts. The traditional rainbow cookie was pretty decent, too! We had actually been wanting to try Belli Baci specifically for their rainbow donut, so we were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the donut was a little dry this time around. I'm not sure if it was because we purchased it at the festival rather than directly from the bakery, but I'd definitely be curious to try one freshly made at their Staten Island location. Overall, I really appreciate their concept of offering so many different rainbow-inspired treats. It's such a fun idea, especially for those of us who can't resist a good rainbow cookie! I also spotted someone walking away with a cannoli latte, which looked SO interesting. Next time, we might have to share one of those, too! Despite the slightly disappointing donut, we really enjoyed trying Belli Baci's creations, and that rainbow cookie cupcake alone deserves another visit. We'll definitely be stopping by their actual bakery the next time we make our way out to Staten Island! We hope they come back to Bensonhurst or Brooklyn in the near future.
