| - Let me start off this review by saying that we give Redendo's here 4 stars for dine in only; take-out has not been as good for us, averaging 3-3.5 stars. I'll explain...
There is a funky charm to this friendly down-home neighborhood eatery. You miss out on that experience if you do pick-up. So we recommend eating in! When we visit the restaurant, at first, the service seems to be "challenged" with a lot of customers, but interestingly enough, our waitress is still fun and attentive, spunky even. Glasses almost always get filled in a timely fashion, and we never have to wait long for food.
The food itself is very good; we almost always order the pepperoni pizza and meatballs for my picky husband and son (who is pickier? That is a toughie) and they declare the freshness of the toppings and doughiness of the crust to be well "above average" and "yum-o." I stick to the salads and pasta; my favorite sauce is the alfredo---it is so rich and creamy with just the right amount of thickness. I give it, on pasta with grilled chicken, a solid 4 stars. On the other hand, I don't like the red sauce we had with the meatballs as much. I found it a bit bland and watery for a red sauce.
So that's our "dining in" experience, ranked at 4 stars. Like I said, when we've gotten take-out, it just isn't as fresh tasting and we miss the dining room's charms. Regardless, we'll keep eating here once a month or so to enjoy the ENTIRE restaurant experience.
