46 Newquay Promenade, Docklands VIC 3008, Australia
Bar
•In the relatively new area of the Docklands, Renzos Bar can actually lay claim to being a bit of a veteran. The popular Italian spot was one of the first bar-slash-cafe combinations to open its doors in the bustling precinct, and is an iconic restaurant in this part of Melbourne. The brainchild of a pair of seasoned restaurateurs, an Italian couple no less, Renzo’s has garnered a reputation for high quality Italian cuisine paired with a postcard-worthy view of the harbour.Strolling down the New Quay Promenade, water, boats, and glittering city lights (depending on the time of day), one might feel compelled to head into Renzo’s purely to enjoy the view of Melbourne’s Docklands. However, to have become such a popular dining fixture along the waterfront there has to be more going for Renzo’s than a pretty picture out the front. All the usual Italian favourites are on the menu, but it’s probably the authentic pizza selection that’s most popular.Renzo’s is well-versed in playing host to all manner of functions, from group dinners to corporate events. The space comfortably houses 180 guests, within the restaurant proper and out on the al fresco dining area. Function organisers have the option of full sit-down service or finger food menus, ideal for a cocktail party.Renzo’s is found in the heart of the Docklands, perched on the waterfront along New Quay Promenade. For the Docklands uninitiated, the 35, 70 and 86 trams roll along Docklands Drive, which is a short walk from the promenade. That’s on the La Trobe side of the city, a few minutes from the heart of the CBD. Southern Cross is the closest train station.

Warm, and welcoming atmosphere, with seating available indoors and outdoors, making it an ideal spot for dining or grabbing a quick bite.The service was excellent with staff being very prompt, attentive, and friendly. The chai latte was a standout for me on the chilly evening I visited-perfectly spiced, creamy and made with love. The pizza Tropicana featured a simple delightful combination of smoked ham, tomato, mozzarella and pineapple on a thin, flavorful crust with crisp ends. Will be back to try the pasta.
Authentic Italian cuisine ❤️ the service was great, the food was superb, owner was very accommodating. we had the pizza, pasta and tiramisu and a few cocktails 🍸 it was great! Will definitely be back for more
My family and I had a such a lovely and relaxing dinner here! The staff were very caring and accommodating. The food was delicious. I had a seafood linguine and loved that there were heaps of seafood in it. The kids enjoyed the pizzas and the drinks were very tasty.
After a few hiccups and miscommunication between wait staff and my friend, all was well. The host was so approachable and reasonable about orders and promptly responded. So our meals were amazing and yummy and we were able to discuss any hiccups with the restaurant that arose without anybody being offended or upset. Happy and satisfied tummies.
On Saturday we celebrated my husband’s 60th birthday at Renzo’s bar. We had a 3 course meal and all the food was fresh, delicious, beautifully presented and the portion sizes were above what l expected. Such a variety to choose from to cater for everyone’s dietary requirements. Staff were attentive, courteous and helpful. Renzo was a pleasure to deal with from organising my function to everything on the day. All the guests commented on how lovely the food was and that they would be back again . Thank you Renzo & staff for making my husbands birthday a special and memorable day. My mum lost her gold earring and Renzo was quick to call me the next day to say they had found it. Will definitely be back and highly recommend for anyone wanting delicious Italian food overlooking the beautiful Docklands. Thank you again 🙂
