    We had a fabulous time at Renee’s Tuscan restaurant. We arrive 15 minutes before our reservation, but were seated immediately. The service was awesome as was the food. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer which was the best we’ve ever had. For salads, we ordered the Caesar and the Apple and Goat Cheese and split the two of them between four people. For entrées we ordered two lasagnas, the calzone, and one of the pasta dishes with meatballs. All were really good. In short, we can’t wait to go back to try some of pizzas as well as getting more lasagna because it was so good!

    Mussels in wine sauce were excellent as well as the sea bass special. The small plate appetizers were a great value and a good way to sample different offerings. Great meal.

    Went to Mama Louisa's with my husband on our search for a good Italian restaurant in Tucson since we are from NY. We were very pleased. The food was excellent. My husband had the veal parmigiana and I had linguine with white clam sauce. I will admit that my linguine was a bit overcooked but it tasted great. The breadsticks were also very tasty as was the canollli we had for dessert. Our server Redana was excellent. Very friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend this restaurant and plan to return.
