Delicious food surrounded by cats! - Edit
Almost forgot to go here before leaving Rome, I would have been so sad! Made a reservation for lunch, ate upstairs. There are no normal tables up there but it is still very comfortable, also makes it easier for the cats the step on you if they chose to do so😉The food was amazing! All vegan and lots of flavor, everyone that works here was also very friendly! I hope to be back next time I find myself in Rome.

Vegan and Raw cute cafe - Edit
This cafe is really unique, with cute cats all around (don’t worry, they won’t bother you at all!)
Read moreThe cakes are all vegan, and there are a lot of options for hot and cold beverages (many many smoothies!)
The place is welcoming and not so big, so you could sometimes have to wait!
A bit expensive, but they deserve the support!! A cute place for a nice occasion, a cute breakfast or mid afternoon snack!
Try it!
Pros: Is all vegan!, Friendly place, small and cozy, and eco friendly!, A lot of plant based types of milk available!!
Cons: A bit expensive

Vegan Paradise - Edit
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!

Creative vegan food - Edit
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!

Vegan Food and Cute Kitties! - Edit
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 - Edit
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.

my 28th birthday couldn't have been better! - Edit
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.

yummy - Edit
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.

Uhm, not so good. - Edit
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.

Cats at work! - Edit
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 - 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.
Read morePros: beautiful space, every dish was incredible

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.
