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.

Lovely cat café and restaurant - Edit
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.
Read moreI 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 - Edit
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! - Edit
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!!! - Edit
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!

Amazing Food - Edit
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...

Lovely - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

The Cat’s Meow - Edit
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.

Ottimo locale - Edit
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 - Edit
Cute Cats, cozy atmosphere ...
Read moreThe 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 - Edit
We walked all over rome to get there. Discovered later the metro is 2 euro and the metro station is just next to them...
Read moreThe 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 - Edit
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.

One of the loveliest places in Rome - Edit
We loved everything about this place: the sandwiches, the cakes(the kitchen wasn't open, but they did offer these options), the cats most of all, the staff, the place and how it was designed for cats. I recommend it to any cat lover!

Disappointment - Edit
We planned to eat dinner there but after our arrival (around 6 pm) we found out kitchen is opening at 8 pm. We decided to stay for some drink before leaving for another place to eat at. After seeing the prices, which are quite high, we agreed on sharing one drink. Therefore it was quite unpleasant when we were told we have to order for each person. So we did order hot chocolate and hazelnut chocolate - what a disappointment when both tasted just the same (plus too sweet), and one had 5 hazelnuts next to it. We felt it as a waste of money and regretted coming there.

Pros: Nicely furnished

Opening the kitchen at 8 is very common in Italy. We italians open later and close wayyy later than abroad. The entrées are pricey but I can ensure the quality is insane. They have crazy good ingredients and it's all very fine cuisine. Like that very elegant kind of cuisine you never see anywhere. Really a jewel. It's a place you go to for an awesome treat or a romantic date.
Read moreWe had similar experience in the sense that we booked for 8, arrived 10 minutes earlier and we had to wait outside. I think they need to be sure the place is super clean because of the cats, so they really take care of it thoroughly.
laty
I can understand the opening hours, even that the kitchen is opening later. But what we did not like was the quality vs price vs attitude. As I wrote in my review we ordered 2 types of hot chocolates but the taste was identical. I could not find anything elegant nor inique about the taste / staff / quality.

Delicious combination - Edit
When my Italian friend announced he was taking us to a cat bistro I was already the happiest person, then I discovered the full menu was vegan I became very excited! The place is beautiful with lovely hosts, the food is delicious with so many options from more obvious to more surprising options! I will return when I'm in Rome.

My husband and I stopped for lunch. He had the ravioli with hazelnuts and pesto and I had the rosemary tempeh. Both dishes were absolutely delicious!
The atmosphere is warm and cozy. While we were having our main course, it started to rain. We opted to have dessert and a cappuccino. Dessert was also wonderful.
Romeow is close to the Piramide metro stop and definitely worth a visit when in Rome!

This parisian-looking bistro is my favorite place to eat in the whole wide world. The menù always changes so that it's not monotonous, and the dishes are gourmet (raw options included)! The prices and the service are also outstanding... just know that if you get up you might lose your chair to one of the furry owners 😉🐱

purrfect place for vegan cat lovers - Edit

One of the best restaurants in Rome - Edit
Romeow is one of my favourite restaurants in Rome. The place is really stylish and there are climbing trees and paths where the cats can play or find a place to sleep. The cats are very friendly and it is great to watch them play. The food is amazing. They change menu quite often and every time I went there I found mouthwatering options. The desserts are amazing too. It is a bit more pricey than other restaurants in Rome, but considering the quality of the food, the fact that they use also ingredients that are not easy to find in Italy and that they have six cats to take care of, I really think that the prices are quite reasonable. Book well in advance because the restaurant is not very big and it is always fully booked.

seriously beautiful food! - Edit
Visiting Romeow was one of the highlights of our visit to Roma. The bistro was clean and full of interesting things to look at including local art and lots of places for the resident cats to hang out. The food was really very special...we ordered a starter, main, dessert and drinks and it was all to die for! The manager and waitress were lovely too and it's great to see the welfare of the cats being put first. I saw the manager reminding a couple of the customers of the rules surrounding the cats (eg. If they are sleeping, let them be!) . It was a joy to watch the cats do their thing...be it sleeping, climbing their indoor tree or hanging out on the wall high up in a box :) Well worth the visit!

absolutely delicious cakes!!! - Edit
The bistrot has a lovely relaxed calm atmosphere and is beautifully laid out! We tried the chocolate mousse cake (unbelievably good!!! Topped with salted hazelnuts that gave it a perfect edge!), the berry cheesecake (which my usually cheesecake hating sister adored; it's very light but retains delicious taste) and the raw cake of the day which was a blueberry cake that was beautifully marbled. We parked it with a strawberry lime and ginger juice and everything tasted sensational. Didn't have any lunch because we were short on cash but the food looked delicious! However if you're looking for lots and lots of cats you may be disappointed; there were only a couple when we were there. I guess you could say it's more of a cafe with cats rather than cats with a cafe! Also the food came to about 30€ which is pretty pricey.

Elegant! - Edit
What a sweet restaurant! The menu is sophisticated and the setting is elegant. Their resident cats are very friendly but you have to go looking for them, they did not roam around the restaurant as we would have imagined. While the quality of the food was excellent, the portions were small and the prices were a little high. I would recommend this restaurant only as a special night out and not for a family dining experience.
