The Take
Renzo's St. Pete delivers solid Argentine asado tradition since 2009 with hand-butchered dry-aged steaks grilled to order. Slop Score sits at 24 because the Latin sides and potential oil-heavy prep drag it down.
The extensive South American wine list and daily baked pastries earn points, but the overall experience leans on the meat to carry everything else.
The Verdict
The grilled ribeye or asado special with chimichurri is the clear move. Request the off-menu Argentine cut if the kitchen will play along.
Avoid fried apps or anything drowning in unverified sauces. Renzo's St. Pete earns its 24 Slop Score by letting the cow do the heavy lifting while the rest coasts on Florida presentation.
