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.

Cute food, great cats

It’s a bit expensive and the portions aren’t the biggest but it’s really tasty, visually stunning and the cats are super cute.

Pros: Cats

Un'esperienza incredibile

There are many cute cats in the restaurant that make the atmosphere ten times better and more cozy. ❤️
I also really liked the padthai and the chocolate cheesecake.

good food and cute cats

the dishes were a bit hit or miss but the good ones were amazing and the cats were so cute!! they’d walk around the tables and nap next to the seats. Favorite dishes: maritozzo appetizer, vegan cheese plate, fregola, and the peanut butter chocolate dessert

Vegan food and cats :3

The title says it all: They have delicious vegan food and 6 cute cats ruling this place by demanding cuddles and affection. The owner is very friendly. The food is expensive but I guess that's the case because they also need money for the cats so that's fine.

Pros: Cats :3, Tasty, Friendly

Cute place! But...

The Romeow Cat Bistrot is a cute place with a nice atmosphere. Me and my boyfriend ordered a table in the "living room" or "traklin" on the second floor- I don't remember the name but it was kind of a disappiontment. We felt a little lonely over there, far away from the waitresses, the company and even the cute cats who stayed on the first floor.😔

Here is our opinion about the food:

*We ordered the Seitan appetizer which was AMAZING. The sauce was yummy and we really liked the capers!😋

*Sardinian fregola- we weren't huge fans of this dish. The sauce was too smokey, and the pasta itself was a little tasteless.😿

*Jackfruit cacciucco- it was fine, but not special or excellent.🤷‍♀️

*Chocolate cake- YES YES YESSS! The best chocolate mousse cake I ate in a long time!😍😍😍

*The white cake- again, a little tasteless. Very pretty though.🤷‍♀️

Pros: The chocolate cake!, The seitan!

Cons: The white cake, The fregola

Bello e accogliente!

Mi piace molto! I gatti sono presenti ma li vorrei piú invadenti.))))) invece sono educati e tranquilli. Avrei voluto ricoprirli di bacini.🥹😻
Cibo é assolutamente buonissimo!!!!! Il carciofo é spaziale!!!!

Purrfect!

We came here to have a small celebration and it was just perfect! Most of the cats were sleeping or mysteriously disappeared after we came but the food was already worth getting a reservation (an absolut must!)! We tried four different dishes and all were delicious and beautifully decorated!
The prizes are not super cheap but I think the quality of food and the considering that the cats have to be cared for, I think it's more than fair😄absolutely try Romeow if you are a fellow cat friend and vegan!

What else could you want? 🐈🌱

I mean...the location is super cute 🌿, the cats incredible 🐈, the staff lovely and the food delicious 🥑! What else?

I had an Hazelnut Milk Coffee ☕ and the Wild berries Cheesecake 🍰, which was incredibly soft and light...it was like eating a cloud! ☁️
I had breakfast with my mum and friend and we had an incredible time! I strongly recommend this place 🤗

Cons: Far from the city centre

Estasi ad ogni morso

Il ristorante è caratteristico poiché è la casa di alcuni gatti che gironzolano o li vedi fare dei bei pisolini. Il menù è stagionale e cambia periodicamente ma non delude mai. Sempre innovativo e ricercato nei sapori e nelle materie prime. Lasciate posto per i loro dolci, superlativi😄

Not my cup of tea, but probably great for others 🙂

Ordered the smoked almond ricotta with pumpkin and mushrooms for starter. Disappointed I couldn’t taste much smoked flavour and frankly it mainly felt like eating cashews mixed together with a little sauce (which didn’t have much flavour either). Also it was incredibly small for the price of £13.5 (see picture, that’s a small piece of grissini 😬). The mushrooms were GREAT though, wished there had been more 😋😍

For main I had the risotto with blue cheese, fenugreek and pepper. Basically it was a plate of very fatty rice with two sprinkled lines of spices. I love mouldy cheeses, but this one was very weak in taste. The dish also didn’t have any vegetables which to me is completely crazy 😅 I know it wasn’t listed in the item description, but somehow I didn’t realise people actually make some plant based dishes without vegetables 😳 I thought there would be grated zucchini or whole bell pepper or… Just something? To me the dish therefore was incredibly unsatisfying and despite not finishing the plate I still got nauseous from it being too fatty 😢

BUT I’m sure some people love that and I probably managed to pick the wrong dishes for me (seeing I love vegetables and aren’t very into processed foods 🙈 So much for trying to be Italian 😆).

Staff was kind, toilet great and the venue was nice, but smelled of cat pee (which I guess happens - no one to blame 🤭). Seeing I had to go and drink three green juices to get my body into balance again it wasn’t my kind of food, but everything was presented nicely, so maybe try if you’re into food like such ☺️

Pros: Vegan 🥰

Cons: Not much flavour, Too fatty 😮‍💨 , No sugar free desserts

Bellísimo

I discovered a new delicious beverage, Chinotto, which tastes like a bitter orange soda. The food was excellent and the cats well-respected with lots of enrichment.

Rather upscale Cat Restaurant

I was there for lunch and was surprised by how upscale it seemed for a Cat 'cafe'. The prices also reflect that, at least during Lunch and Dinner. I had a Risotto with blue cheese, and it was interesting but a bit samey and quite heavy. My friend had a piece of cake which was good, but not amazing. The Cats were really sweet and seemed well taken care of as far as we could See. They were mostly chilling in the sun. The staff was friendly and the amuse-bouche was nice. I'd have been interested in trying their breakfast or afternoon Snacks, and I'd Like to go back when I'm in Rome again.

Good lunch in Rome

Nice place, we met the nine resident cats ❤️, and had the tasting menu.
Very good but too much food 🫢. Refined food, good and friendly service, international guests. The menu offers a colorful mix of traditional and international dishes.

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
