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.
Read moreThe bistro is completely vegan. We got starters, two mains and dessert and everything tasted great.

Cake, coffee, and cats! - Edit
We stopped by Romeow for an afternoon coffee and snack. I had a cappuccino with hazelnut milk and the raw cake. The cats are so cute and may come to say hello, or just sleep cozily. Make sure you pay close attention to their opening hours on the website. Reservations are required for lunch and dinner, and breakfast and snack times are quite specific.

Purrfect food and great service - Edit
We ate a la carte and the food was fantastic. Good value but high quality food. Wine list modestly priced but good too. Don’t know what the issues with service are that have been reported but everyone was wonderful. Make the trip and get away from the tourists for a great vegan meal.

Not too well impressed - Edit
Had to modify my review coming here two years after the first time.
Read moreThe venue hasn't changed but the menu yes. A list of over-elaborated and expensive stuff, a good way to allure turists, but nothing really impressed me.
I felt like having a dish for a quick lunch, but you are required to get a minimum of two!!
Staff not very kind and obsessed with checking your health pass (if you are Italian, It doesn't apply to tourists...ridiculous)

Pros: cats in the venue

Absolutely lovely - Edit
We went there as a party of five (including a three year old child) for lunch and were very pleased with everything. The staff was exceptionally friendly (already when we made the reservation), the atmosphere of the place was really nice, the cats were cute and chill and the food was absolutely delicious! Finally an all vegan place to have a full meal (not just your usual vegan burger or pizza without cheese) that is not even that expensive. Our total bill was under 150€ which is absolutely okay for Rome. I didn't have any wine, but my friends said it was really good too. The place is really worth a visit!

lovely experience - Edit
the food is to tasty and different from most stuff you’ll find in rome! the atmosphere is great and the fact that you can study in there during the week is a big plus.
Read morethe cats are the cutest and they are so used to people, which means they are really relaxed, it’s so nice to see them while you eat
it is a bit pricy tho

We came here en-route to a festival and even though it was slightly out of the way, it was well worth the visit. Even if you're not a cat-lover (I like cats, some of us are just dog-guys) this place is wonderful. The animals were all super healthy and in a spacious environment with plenty of sunny windows! Most importantly, the food was great, even though for the life of me I can't remember what I ate. Another great vegan find by my friend.

Ok. Something different. - Edit
I got the green option. It was €14 for pancakes and a smoothie. The serving sizes aren't generous. But, what they made was good quality. The cats were a bonus. Chill vibe. Good seating.

Disappointing restaurant Excellent cats - Edit
Based on all their reviews I am going to assume we visited at a bad time on a bad day.
Read moreFrom the moment we arrived the staff were disinterested and borderline rude. We struggled to get anybody’s attention to order throughout our visit. We were not given a separate drink list and ordered soft drinks, which are the only drinks listed on the food menu, only to see another table get wine later on.
The starter was beautifully presented, delicious and enjoyable - seitan ‘cutlets’ with broccoli, capers and almonds.
The main courses were served within 1 minute of our starter being cleared and looked to have been sat on the pass under a heat lamp for some time.
I had the seitan saltimbocca and it felt like half a dish - it had a huge quantity of overly rich and creamy porcini sauce which felt as though it needed some vegetables or potatoes on the side. My partner had an Indonesian tempeh dish which was tasty but similarly was lacking - all the textures were very soft, and once the tempeh had been eaten there was still half a plate of a variety of sauces. Perhaps we were supposed to order side dishes of vegetable with our mains - there was a section on the menu - but this advice wasn’t on the menu or offered by the staff.
For dessert we shared the ‘white cake’ cheesecake which tasted nice but was more than half frozen and was a disappointing way to finish a disappointing meal.
However, the venue was lovely and stylish. The cat walkways, beds and other paraphernalia were tasteful and in keeping with the overall decor and ambience.
The cats (all 6 of them) made various appearances and, whilst not especially interested in human interactions did patrol around and added some gentle entertainment.
Overall we felt like a burden to the waiting staff and didn’t enjoy the majority of our food, most likely because we didn’t realise the mains needed side dishes, the dessert hadn’t been fully defrosted and the staff didn’t engage with us to improve our visit.
Why didn’t they upsell their menu and drinks to us? We wanted a special meal and would have gladly spent more money!
Pros: Cats, Vegan menu, Cats
Cons: Disinterested staff, No wine list offered, Disappointing food - needed side dishes

Hi, I am very sorry that you have not been well with us. I can assure you that no dish remains under the lamp to be heated, it is all freshly made and made.
Read moreEven the white cake is not frozen ...
We defrost it at room temperature and until we manage to cut it we don't serve it. As for the wines, I'm sorry the kids forgot to bring you the wine list.
Unfortunately, sometimes in a hurry it can happen, but it was enough to ask and we would have immediately satisfied you. I am really sorry that the experience with us was not the way we want it to be.
We hope to have another chance to get to know each other better. : )

Wonderful cats and extraordinary food - Edit
Whatever you are in Rome, Romeow Cat Bistrot deserves a visit. The menù changes seasonally, because all the dishes are prepared with fresh vegetables. Original receipts, wonderful colours and delicious flavours, to taste with the company of typical roman cats. The best food experience you can have!

Underwhelming and expensive - Edit
Pasta was overcooked, a bit too creative and very expensive (16euro). Apparently the place is famous for their cakes, so I would recommend going for that rather than an actual lunch.

Creative food and cute cats! - Edit
This was an unexpectedly great place! It’s not a regular cat cafe but rather restaurant quality creative dishes in a cozy atmosphere. Cats were mostly sleeping or walking around, but seemed relaxed and not bothered by the people. They seem to be well taken care of and have plenty of hiding spaces if they don’t want to be near people. Food was more on the expensive side but it was definitely worth it! Service was also very nice and welcoming.

Cute and cozy cat cafe that actually serves fine dining food, fully vegan, good ingredients, nicely plated. Good service, too. Cats are a nice bonus. On the expensive side (ranging 8/15 € per dish), but the quality is high.

Il fatto che sia 100% Vegan è già 🔝Aggiungi la presenza di sei (?) gattoni sornioni (che non danno alcun fastidio ai commensali), buon cibo a volte anche molto ricercato come ingredienti e accostamenti, e il giudizio non può che essere: non vedo l’ora di tornarci!!

Unfriendly waitress - Edit
We came here and wanted a small snack. We wanted to share 1 menu for 2 people. According to the waitress that was not possible, because every person has to choose 1 "mood". Our mood suddenly became "annoyed" and we left the place.

Adorable concept, mediocre food. - Edit
The perfect place to go if you are a cat lover, it’s honestly beautiful inside. The food was not very good if I’m being honest (we couldn’t even eat one of the pastas because it tasted so bad and I never do that). The one dish we both really liked was the twisted pesto breadsticks with ricotta dip, so definitely try that. I would recommend getting an appetizer, dessert and drinks instead of ordering a full meal. They still get a high rating because it’s a great concept and I don’t think people are going for the food anyways.
