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.

Vegan Paradise

Putting aside the obvious pull of the beautiful kitties, this place has REALLY good vegan food! I would struggle to find as imaginative and beautifully prepared menu back in the UK. I had a wonderful pesto fusilli dish with a side salad and my partner the deconstructed fajitas. To finish the tiramisu is delicioso and you wouldn't know it was vegan to be honest! They also have a comprehensive wine and beer menu. I suppose the cats are great too😄a must visit for a vegan in Roma!

Pros: Amazing food, Cats, Beautiful setting

Cons: It is a little pricey

Creative vegan food

This is a small bistrot in the Ostiense quarter, characterized for the feline inhabitants and the vegan food. All the dishes are beautifully presented and are so rich in flavour and creativity. I had an appetizer "savoury sicilian cannoli with almond and chives ricotta with summer vegetables caponata" that was absolutely fantastic, and the vegan Pad Thay that was good. I tried my friends dishes too and found them tasty and creative, made with unusual ingredients and complex in flavour. Unfortunately we couldn't try the desserts that seem to be their strong point because we were full! Cats are discreet, sometimes one of them comes and interact with human guests... the only thing I would improve is the service, in my opinion is too relaxed and a little bit distracted. Anyway I would surely come back!

Pros: Refined and creative vegan food , Cats!

Cons: The service can be improved

Vegan Food and Cute Kitties!

We were so excited to enjoy vegan food while being surrounded by cute kitties and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious and had the presentation of a 5 star restaurant. We arrived after their kitchen closed but they were kind enough to open it back up for us and I couldn’t have been happier since Romeow was top of my list of vegan restaurants to visit in Rome. With adorable cats and great vegan food what more could you want!

Trendy and delicious

Very trendy, amazing all vegan restaurant. The service was much better than at other places in Rome. The food was beautifully presented and insanely delicious. We also loved the incredible dessert options, including the most amazing tiramisu. The cats are very cute but keep a low profile so no need to worry if you arent a cat fan. Portions are fairly small as in most upscale restaurants so definitely order multiple entrees.

Pros: Amazing food and ambience, Cats!, Friendly service

Cons: Out of the way location, Slow service

my 28th birthday couldn't have been better!

I came here for my birthday with all my family (none of them is vegan, unfortunately), and everyone was satisfied for flavor, quantity and quality of the food. I really loved especially the ravioli with cashew, the fried shiitake mushrooms and the raw cake with red fruits. Love the atmosphere, the cats, and the staff, everybody very kind and ready to get any suggestion.
Absolutely coming back as soon as possible!

yummy

Really delicious food and presented really nicely. Lovely atmosphere, the only I would say is my smoothie wasn't quite as cold as I would like and although the food is great it would be something too expensive for me to come here often.

Pros: lots of vegan options, good service, yummy food

Cons: expensive

Uhm, not so good.

We had a meal n we tried 4 plates, but we left hungrier. It’s really overpriced for the small portions, even if the taste was good. There are better vegan places in Rome.

Pros: Molte opzioni vegane

Cons: Costoso

Cats at work!

Cats at work!! At this wonderful 100% vegan place are living six cats which help to promote a vegetarian lifestyle. All the ingredients which enter this gourmet cuisine are certified organic. They offer various raw food dishes and their vegetable fruit juice is balanced fantastically. I had a green juice with an amazing pineapple taste. With the ecological juice they served me a delicious cake, lovely decorated with a dried apple, which was incredibly light. They have an especially creative dinner menu. During the daytime they serve fresh biological juices and natural cake. The decoration has a lot of details, the lights are unimaginable beautiful and on the walls we can enjoy funny paintings with many cartoon cats. Inside the veggie restaurant they have put a tree where the cats can climb to chill on top! My ears listened to a fantastic joyful relaxing mix of DJ Valentina which can not be described in words!! This veg place is my favourite vegan spot in Rome as I am a cat lover and the whole concept fits perfectly. This place is more than a restaurant, it is an artful creation of a peaceful lovely place where I would like to be every day! I will definitely recommend this place and come back as soon as possible!!

Lovely cat café and restaurant

I really loved this place: it's a nice, welcoming cat café and restaurant, home to six stray cats (including Romeo!). The menu is interesting, with great Italian classics as well as some ethnic food.
I started with a wonderful veggie tempura (the sweet potato was amazing), while my friends had some interesting appetisers, such as bell pepper rolls with bean cream, quesadillas with black bean cream and avocato, and vegetable samosas.
Our main dishes included a nice aubergine mille-feuilles, a tempeh kebab, and hearty spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce.
But the best was yet to come, their desserts were simply outstanding: a pear and caramel raw cake, and a magnificent tiramisù. Definitely the best way to treat ourselves till the end.
Highly recommended.

Pros: wonderful food, cats all around

Visited twice

Visited here twice while in Rome on holiday. Contacted via Facebook to book a table and had a very quick friendly response. Food was interesting and delicious and good value for money. Excellent selection of wines too. I suggest you read the information on their website around booking and times the kitchen is open for the full menu. Information and house rules regarding the cats are also on their website. Lovely to enjoy a delicious vegan meal in the company of the cats and the friendly and helpful staff.

Great food and cats!

We booked here on the Sunday night when we were leaving Rome. It opened at 8pm for dinner. We both had an entree and I had a main and my partner had the second plate . The meals were lovely but I wouldn’t say I was completely amazed. I loved the venue and the cats who were so cute. Unfortunately we had to catch an overnight train and collect our luggage from the station so we couldn’t stay for dessert. It’s a shame, I would have liked to have tried it. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The best!!!

One of the best dining experiences we’ve had. The place is lovey with such a nice atmosphere and decor. The cats are clean and friendly and roam around casually. The food was out of this world, especially the cheesecake. You have to book ahead or you won’t get a seat. Highly recommended this place for the best dinner you might ever have!

Pros: Delicious , Friendly , Unique menu

Cons: Expensive (but worth it)

Amazing Food

I had a wonderful vegan experience at this restaurant tonight. The staff was so nice and the food was absolutely amazing, artistic, tasty and high quality. The owner was super nice. There were many locals and the ambiance was very cosy. I loved seeing some a couple of cats in the restaurant that said hello from a distance. I highly recommend this place and wish I had more time in Rome to go again...

Pros: All vegan, Awesome vegan cheese, Gourmet food

Lovely

Absolutely lovely. Amazing atmosphere and service and great vegan food with attention to detail. Only critique would be that the smoothies were colder. They were so delicious...just a bit warmer than my liking. The Italian tacos were fantastic and the tiramisu was best of my life second to my European mother in law's (nothing can beat that so not fair)...vegan or not. See you again Romeow!

amazing experience

Not only was this some of the best vegan food I have ever had, but it was also one of the most enjoyable dining experiences. We were very lucky to get a reservation for the same night we contacted them because there was a cancellation, but we could only sit in an upstairs area with couches and low tables. I would definitely choose to sit here if I go back because the space was very intimate and quite cool. The cats were not walking around the entire time, but we definitely got to see them a lot (the restaurant would have been great even without them). All of the food was amazing!! We shared dishes and loved every single one. After dinner, we got to talk to the owner who was very friendly and talked about her goal of introducing more Italian people to vegan cuisine. She also decorated the restaurant (which was beautiful). Most people were dressed nicely, but it still felt like a casual experience.

Pros: beautiful space, every dish was incredible

The Cat’s Meow

I went to the restaurant for an early lunch and ordered the sandwich. It was really good, as was the non-dairy cappuccino. Most of the cats were napping in a box in the front window and the one cat who was on the floor was pretty blasé about visitors. In other words, a typical cat. If I go to Rome again I will definitely make a reservation for dinner.

Pros: Cats, More cats, Oh yes, there was also food

Locale carino, staff super gentile e disponibile, gatti splendidi! Il cibo è particolare e delizioso.....fantastici il tris di risi e il lupino in crosta. Anche la cheesecake ai frutti di bosco è buonissima, golosa ma leggera. Prezzi non proprio economici ma vale sicuramente la pena!

Overpriced

Cute Cats, cozy atmosphere ...
The food is okay (I had a chocolat Muffin and a hot chocolate), but simply overprized. It didn't taste bad, it just wasn't worth the money ...
One tea (!) costs 5,50€. The muffin was 4€, and it wasn't that great or just big.
Would be a great place if it wasn't that pricy.

Pros: atmosphere, cats

Cons: pricy

Heaven

We walked all over rome to get there. Discovered later the metro is 2 euro and the metro station is just next to them...
The food is gourmet and organic, as far as I recall. Really good. If you want to explore something new that you haven't seen before, if you want something different from the usual vegan options this place will leave you pampered.
It is the place to go for a romantic date or a relaxed evening. Very high quality dishes. Costs like any normal restaurant in rome, but you get organic, really good dishes.

Was our favorite place for our vacation.

And, of course, caaaaats! They are well looked for, have their own little private area if they don't feel social and want privacy, and have lots of private spots to play undisturbed. They definitely look after them wonderfully.

Pros: Great organic food, Interesting combinations of flavours, Cats

Expensive Gourmet Vegan Food in Cute Location

This is a cat cafe which is cute and special. The decor was very nice and staff was friendly. The menu is limited and all gourmet vegan food if you're into that. The portions are pretty small and each plate is around €13. For an appetizer and two plates you will pay around €45 or €50.

Pros: nice atmosphere, cat cafe

Cons: expensive
