100/100 recommend - Edit
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.
Read moreCan'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.

Hi MinervaG! Romeow is fully vegan, so don’t be afraid, what you had with the vegan cheese platter it wasn’t honey!

Such a special place! - Edit
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).
Read moreThe 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 - Edit
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

Cute, friendly cats & some good food - Edit
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.
Read moreI 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! - Edit
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?! - Edit
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.

Refined high end dishes and adorable cats - Edit
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! - Edit
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!

Great food and atmosphere! - Edit
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.

Good food in a posh place - Edit
The place is very good. The food is exceptional, from starters to desserts. Wow. A true food experience!
Read moreI don’t like the vibe tho, a bit posh.
Not really baby friendly either, there is no changing table and they haven’t helped me find a spot to change my kid.
Edit 2024: the kid situation got better, I came back without my kid but there was a toddler sitting in the table next to ours and she was treated kindly

Can't wait to go back - Edit
I overheard some older lady saying "you really can't tell this food is vegan", but I feel like eating at Romeow's helps you understand being vegan is not a matter of excluding (certain "ingredients") but rather of including (new flavours and people)! Lovely atmosphere, the cats are super nice but please make sure to read the House Rules on how to properly and respectfully interact with them if you go there

Cucina strepitosa! Ho assaggiato gli spaghettoni di Gragnano con crema di noci di macadamia e la white cake, oltre ad un piccolo antipasto offerto dalla casa: era tutto buonissimo e alla fine ho lasciato anche la mancia (prima volta che in Italia faccio una cosa del genere…).

Cat restaurant - Edit
This was an incredible experience that combined elements of fine dining with the joy of cuddling with animals. I adore this place, not only for its efficient and friendly staff and the presence of adorable cats all around, but the real highlight is the outstanding food! It's puzzling why this restaurant hasn't been awarded a Michelin star – it's truly exceptional!

Great food, cute cats - Edit
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.

Unique cat cafe! - Edit
Quirky cafe outside of the city centre. Service really friendly and engaging and the cats were a fun aspect. Food was really tasty, but it is on the more expensive side and the portions could potentially be a little bigger.

Wonderful experience! - Edit
A visit to this cafe is a fabulous experience. The cafe itself is cute and attractive. The cats are happy, friendly and respected. The staff are friendly (speak English and Italian), helpful and gently advocate the cafes aims. And then the food: it was beyond. Best vegan cheesecake I’ve eaten (vegan 6 years) and delicious, fresh, crostata.
