About

There are no written records to confirm that this 13th-century palazzo was once owned by the Montecchi (Montague) family, and, thankfully, the discreet management never considered calling this place the Ristorante Romeo. But here you are, nonetheless, dining in what is believed to be Romeo's house, a characteristic medieval palazzo, and enjoying one of the nicest meals in town amid a spirited and friendly neighborhood ambience. You might find penne con pomodoro e melanzane (fresh tomato sauce with eggplant) or a perfectly grilled chop or filet with rosemary-roasted potatoes. It will be simple, it will be delicious, you'll probably make friends with the people sitting next to you, and you will always remember your meal at Romeo's Restaurant. If you don't have an adventurous palate, avoid anything on the menu that has cavallo or asino in it, unless you want to sample horsemeat, a local specialty.
