Great food, cute cats

Romeow was by far the best cat cafe we have ever been to, both in relation to the food and the care for the cats. The place is tastefully decorated, the cats are relaxed and several groups of locals seemed to genuinely to come just for the food.
The bistro is completely vegan. We got starters, two mains and dessert and everything tasted great.

Wow

Wonderful place. They now have a tasting menu which is a sellection of some of the food in the menu. Both the taste and the presentation of the food is great. Friendly service and nice atmosphere. A bit outside the touristic centre but well worth the trip.

Pros: Many options, Tasty food

We left before we could eat

I don’t know about the quality of the food. We left because they were very unacommodating. I wanted to order a starter and drinks, and decide after that what i want as a main dish or desert. My colleague only wanted to have drinks and a desert. But they said that was impossible. they said i had to order a minimum amount at once, at least two dishes one of which has to be a main dish from a particular section on the menu, if i wanted to be there. I said that i am happy to take two dishes,, but i would first like my starter and then see if i wanna go for something heavy or lighter. My colleague did not want a main dish so he could not have ordered anything. We left because they were so inflexible. I dont understand why they dont just let you order what you want. The place was almost empty, so its not that i was stealing a table from more hungry customers who would have ordered and paid more. Another downside, the place smelled heavily like cat urine and feces. I guess a bit of a smell like that is to be expected at a cat Bistro, but i have been to similar places and i have to say it is usually not that bad.

Pros: Nice ambiente, Very cute cats, Interesting menu

Cons: Staff doesn’t respect customer‘s wishes, Cat smell, Rather expensive

Amazing Desserts

We went to Romeow for breakfast on a whim and it was absolutely delicious. We had hazelnut lattes, pancakes, and cake. My goodness…all delicious!! The lightest, tastiest white cake and the most delicious pancakes. Hazelnut lattes were so tasty and the cats were so cute. Very friendly kitties that seem happy. Great to see a cat cafe taking care of their animals and serving delicious vegan food.

Pros: Coffee, Desserts, Cats

Cons: Expensive

Cucina unica e creativa

Si capisce dal primo istante che prima che un ristorante Romeow è un luogo di incontro per i vegani di Roma e di altrove, un luogo di impegno e d'amore per gli animali. In primis per i mici del locale, naturalmente, che sono affettuosissimi e coccolati da personale e clienti.

Io ho ordinato "Jack fruit e pleurotus in salsa tartara, zucchine marinate al sesamo tostato con pomodori verdi fritti" piatto originale e divertente, che mischia textures croccanti con altre invece cremose, sapori freschi con altri più complessi. Ottimo.
E una mousse au chocolat, squisita.

Davvero complimenti per questo locale, per la cucina straordinaria, per il servizio assolutamente all'altezza, e poi per l'atmosfera. E stato un piacere scoprirvi, e tornerò.

100/100 recommend

Wowww...this place is amazing. Not only is the food outstanding, I was so impressed with how big the restaurant is and how much space the cats have. I was happy to see that no one was bothering the cats (like most cat cafes). The food served is packed with flavor. People seem to genuinely come here for the delicious food and the cats just have to be a bonus.
Can't recommend it enough. I recommend making a reservation. I went for lunch.
P.S
1) I recommend the cheese board, but note that they serve it with a cup of honey (in case you don't eat honey)

2) The meal portions (during lunch) looked on the smaller side, but they were very filling. Me and my boyfriend shared the cheese platter antipasto and had one primo dish each and we were satisfied. We also shared a dessert and were full.

Such a special place!

This is a beautiful place with elevated cuisine... And cats!! We saw 6 cats today (I hear there are 8 but the other 2 must have been hiding).

The resident cats here seem very happy with plenty of high places - and even outdoor catio access - for them to relax in when they have had enough attention. When we arrived most of the cats were sleeping but 3 did wake up and want attention from us before the end of our visit. All were very sweet and friendly.

Amazing tiramisu and the sweetest cats

Were lucky to get a reservation on the same day as it was a weekday. Had ravioli and tiramisu and raw cake, it was lovely. Highlight was when one of the cats came and laid down with us when we were eating. No flash photography

Pros: Cats

Cute, friendly cats & some good food

Editing a previous review and changing my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars. When I came here on my first trip, I really enjoyed the creamy pasta dish and the cheesecake, although I found the tempeh dish a little lacking.
I returned on a recent trip to Rome and with more years of eating vegan under my belt. The maki jackfruit taco wrapped in seaweed was by far the best thing - very unique and delicious with the sticky rice and fishy jackfruit - but the cheesecake I remembered so fondly didn't really taste like cheesecake. It was good, but it mostly tasted like whipped cream on a biscuit base - I've had much more authentic vegan cheesecakes since my first one here. The shaved seitan dish was also pretty good, but the ravioli was just okay.

The best place ever!

The food was unbelievably good and the cats were the best. I loved everything so much! We went there during breakfast so all the food we tasted are from the morning menu. A must visit for every cat lover and vegan in Rome.

Cats and vegan food?!

This is a must visit spot if you are vegan and a cat lover! The food was insane, the ravioli (which I didn’t get a pic of) was one of the best dishes I’ve had in Rome.
Really friendly service can’t fault anything!

Pros: Cats!, Delicious food

Cons: None!!!

Refined high end dishes and adorable cats

The food is refined gourmet. Full of flavour and creativity - the skill and imagination is clear to see. The portion sizes are a bit small but you can always head next door to the vegan bakery. The environment for the cats is wonderful, they are genuinely loved and looked after unlike the cat cafe in London

The food is really bad!

The atmosphere is cool, and the cats are awesome! However, the food is really bad! We ordered an almond ricotta starter, and it was literally a bowl of thick cheese that we were supposed to eat with a spoon, I guess? The second course was the best thing we had. It was supposed to be creamy (but was more gluey)- an undercooked spaghetti with too many capers and olives resulting in it being overly salty. The third course was sour tasting tofu, like…super sour served with lukewarm and weirdly lemony sweet potatoes, squinchy avocado cream and soggy sweet potato chips. We couldn’t even eat it, paid $100 Euro, and left before my husband got sick. Super disappointing!

Pros: Cats

Cons: Food, Food, Food

Great food and atmosphere!

Had a delicious meal here😄We ordered one of each course per person which left us totally stuffed, but was doable if you are really going for it. I was initially a little skeptical that this place would be gimmicky based on the name and the fact that it is also a cat cafe, but honestly the food was amazing and it had a fine dining vibe.
