Menu for Rende Italian Eatery in Bracebridge, ON

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every meal we had. Great food, nice warm atmosphere, great service.

Food was almost excellent! I had veal & it was extremely good. However as we were eating the cook/chef was making so much noise... running kitchen blender it put a damper on the experience. I enquired about it w/ the server, I was told he was preparing garlicbutter. I thought it odd he would be doing prep that noisey in an open kitchen @ high time. So back to the veal I was almostfinished when I bit into an uncooked piece! It was an unusually large piece & just a bit was under done @ the end. I did bringit to the server's attn so the chef /owner would be aware that's all. Server returned w/ the same reason I mention why? Myhusband had cake after 3rd choice. In my opinion they could have taken the cake off the bill. For the hassle & it's fairly newin town. Read more

This place is fantastic! I?ve been reading reviews about the food taking a while, but what people don?t think about is the... quality of the food. If you want a good quality authentic meal, don?t expect to have your food in 10 minutes. The service isalways wonderful and I?ve never been disappointed. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This place is new and growing pains are simply part of the business. But the first thing I will tell you is that this guy can... cook. The pasta I had was firm to the bite, while simultaneously being light and fresh. The Alfredo sauce, while a bit too muchof a heaping for the pasta itself, was still very tasty, and not overly buttery, which is often the case with chefs who can'tquite seem to get their saucy mix-portions right. The chicken, while a little small on the portion size, was moist, full offlavor, and cooked just right. My only recommendation is that the chef improve upon the presentation. Add some greenery orsprigs to the plats. You can't just serve white pasta with a white sauce and plunk it down. Sprinkle something green on top, andmaybe garnish with a few leafs of color off to the side. I mention this only because you've got the most important part right,the food! Now all you need to do is dress it up a little. I'll definitely be back, I think these folks are onto a good thing. Read more
