Renato’s is a bar, restaurant and pizzeria in the heart of Bristol; a renowned late night venue split over two floors in a Grade II listed building. Located on Bristol’s historic King Street, Renato’s was reopened by Left Handed Giant in collaboration with Pizza Is Lovely in 2023, serving PIL's famous vegetarian Detroit-style pizzas as well as a menu of Italian-American inspired food with a local twist. The venue blends some old school Italian charm with a contemporary offering and aesthetic.

One side of the ground floor houses a bar serving cocktails, craft beers and natural wines, while the other is home to a pizzeria, serving New York and Detroit-style pizza by the slice until late, plus a selection of DSPs and sides from our restaurant kitchen. 

Upstairs is a relaxed, intimate and more elevated dining experience. In addition to the Detroit-style pizza menu, the restaurant offers a range of seasonal dishes, weekly specials, desserts and a carefully curated wine list.

The space is split into two dining rooms, both of which can accommodate groups of varying sizes. If you are interested in making a group reservation or enquiring about private hire please email renatos@pizzaislovely.com.

Dating back to the 1650s, ‘La Taverna dell’Artista’ first opened under the Renato's family name in 1980 and has been a go-to destination for theatre goers, actors, musicians, artists, students and journalists for over 40 years - we have recently welcomed stars as diverse as Grammy-award -winning rapper Killer Mike and Draco out of Harry Potter.

Since reopening under new management our team have had the honour of stewarding the venue into the 21st century, introducing modern takes on classic ideas and having some fun while doing it.
