Pizzéria Roméo

This is a long overdue review. I tried this place for the first time and was very pleased with my experience. The appetizer (eggplant based) and the pizza we ordered were so delicious that I still crave it. The service was excellent and even though my French is very rusty, the waitress was absolutely polite and eager to help out when we were deciding what to pick from the menu. The wine was possibly the best I’ve had in Montréal. Unfortunately, I can’t remember what I had, but I’m pretty sure all of their wines are just as good. The small restaurant was full of good looking people and the atmosphere was just perfect for a cold evening.

We came to Romeo on our first night in Montréal, as we got in late and made a mad dash for the SAQ. On our way we had seen Romeo and thought it was cute, so we decided we’d check it out on our way back. The cocktails sounded delicious, as did the pizza.
The three of us decided to split 2 pizzas: l’estivale and la figue bleu. They were amazing. We hadn’t realized how hungry we were until we were devouring those pizzas. We entirely forgot about the hot pepper oil for the crust (which is a shame!).
We also ordered some cocktails: a spritzer and some sangria. Both were quite good, and the lychee was a nice touch to the sangria. Though, despite the menu saying that you could order sangria with red or white wine, they apparently only had red… I had a bit of a hiccup with my order of it, but in the end, it all turned out fine (aka I got a glass of sangria and it was tasty).

Visiting from California solo this place looked cute so I gave it a try.
Best shrimp I’ve had in a really, really long time. The service was incredible. From the second I walked in they were really polite, sweet and knowledgable of the menu. I don’t speak French and they explained everything to me. The bartender was so much fun as well! Lovely little place:)
Try the spicy shrimp!!!

Its the little Brother of the Resto Misto on mont royal St
Its again some italian food with a fancy flair
The service and food is Not bad but nothing exceptionnal compared to the Misto
The drinks are good tho
A cool place with friends, they are also hockey friendly with Tv screen for games

Terrific service last night at my favorite casual spot on Le Plateau-​Mont-​Royal Montréal. My third visit with terrific attention to detail. This is the place you want to spend the evening — prepare to invest a couple hours with your date or friends and wind through starters, mains, and desert! We were impressed with our waiter as well as the presentation.
The appetizer «La Tarte Aux Tomates» It was so well presented that we took a photo. We loved the perfect puff pastry, mascarpone, onion confit, and mozzarella was terrific and it paired well with our white wine. Our wine was delightful and fun! If you want a bottle of white thats crisp, enjoyed young with elegant depth; go for the Malvasia. I’m not a fan of tomato sauce, but Roméo pulls it off with authentic richness. I know this because I had a slice of my dinner date’s Calabrese and was stunned. If you love well done crusts and lighter flavors — go for the La Flamande. I was very impressed and will order again! The cream sauce was rich, yet lovely. Perfect pancetta, fresh leeks, with flavorful mozzarella and parmesan: you won’t be disappointed.
Oh and don’t worry at all about your French, they give fabulous service in French, English, Yum, and Mouthfull’s of food!

Le dimanche, les pizzas classiques sont à 10 $ ! Et elles sont boooonnes !!! Je recommande aussi vivement la gaspacho (un délice !) et la tarte à la tomates (avec ses oignons caramélisés… mmm).

Super ambiance.
Service correct, sans plus.
Nourriture un peu décevante.
Voilà les quelques points qui caractérisent ma soirée au Roméo. Mes amies et moi avions une grande banquette pour nous toutes seules dans le coin le plus tranquille du resto, près de la fenêtre. Bien souvent, je suis insatisfaite de la place qu’on m’assigne, mais au Roméo, c’était parfait. La musique n’était pas trop forte et le répertoire était assez varié, de quoi plaire à tous. Par contre, c’était une soirée assez tranquille (un mercredi)… Je crains donc que ce soit assez différent un vendredi ou un samedi soir. Le service était assez froid et un peu maladroit au début, mais s’est légèrement amélioré au cours de la soirée.
Côté nourriture, c’était ordinaire. Je fais de la pizza tellement meilleure chez moi! Toutes les assiettes avaient l’air appétissantes, mais bon. Quand le goût n’y est pas vraiment…
J’y retournerai possiblement avec des ami (e)s en soirée pour relaxer et goûter à d’autres plats. On verra bien!

The service was okay. At first they brought me to a seat, but then the waiter ran off and didn’t come back. I had to wave down a random waitress so I could order my meal. Other than that, the service was good.
The salad was kind of distasteful since it tasted a bit too salty. The mozzarella pizza on the other hand, was delicious with it’s crunchy flat bread crust and not too greasy cheese.
The décor and part where I was sitting was glamorous and dazzling with all the lights on the Christmas tree. It was also cool that the patio overlooked the outside where all the shops were. One flaw was the heater overhead was making it a bit too hot.

Travaillant tard, je me retrouve souvent à ce resto passé 22h avec des amis ou mon copain. Le service est toujours agréable et juste assez présent (je déteste me faire demander à plusieurs reprises si tout est à mon goût) et les pizza répondent très bien aux désirs de mon estomac.

Je travaille en restauration et il est souvent difficile de trouver un endroit où aller manger lorsque je finis tard. Heureusement, depuis que j’ai mon blog (la boufferie), je fais énormément de recherches et je suis tombée sur la pizzeria roméo qui offre des pizzas à seulement 10 $ après 22h. Et des bonnes pizzas!!!
Leurs cocktails aussi sont plutôt divertissants: des classiques revisités avec humour!
J’ai bien aimé. Parfait pour une bouffe de fin de soirée, un souper entre amis ou même un souper en amoureux décontracté.

Loud, one has to SCREAM to converse, I can’t understand the need for loud, pounding music. Perhaps it’s because there’s a very busy bar on the premises, that’s why. There was a group of us that evening, and it was decided there’d be a bottle of wine for the 5 who wanted wine wirh their pizza. I ordered a vegetarian as did several others, meanwhile we were served complimentary tomato paté & bread, which was gobbled down quickly by all; we were famished and it was getting late. My veggie pizza was good, piping hot, thin crust. Others who ordered the same liked theirs, as well as those who had whatever variety they’d ordered. Pizzas are only $ 10.00 per, for ANY variety from 10PM btw, overall my pizza & 1 glass of wine w/​tip was $ 25.00, a bit too steep, but next time I’ll just forego the wine tyvm. Service was good and attentive, ambiance LOUD. If you want to watch your spending, wait till 10 PM and forget the wine.

Because of it’s location close to my apartment, Pizzeria Romeo is the Montréal pizza spot that I’ve been too the most. It’s well located on Mont Royal close to many great water holes on the Plateau.
Place: Pizzeria Romeo has a sleek, open layout perfect with plenty of tables to accommodate couples or larger parties. It’s first floor location and large street facing windows, which open during the summer, make for great people watching and a fun spot to grab a summer drink. In the evenings, it has darker, refined atmosphere that isn’t too dressy but a definite step up from a casual pizza spot.
Food: An appetizer of bread and a flavorful tomato spread are generally brought out before the meal. My wife and I generally split one of the varieties of pizza and order a salad to share as well. The crust of most pizza in Montréal is for a lack of a better description, medium in thickness. The meats and vegetables used by the cooks are fresh and delicious. Even though the pizza is tasty, I find myself wishing the pizza was more like Chicago-​style deep dish or thinner NY-​style. A bit of nostalgia that my tastebuds just can’t seem to get over and that’s why it’s 3 stars instead of 4.
Pizzeria Romeo also serves chicken, fish, lasagna and some other non-​pizza entries. But I have never tried them.
They also offer some excellent cocktails, a variety of beers and a decent wine list.
Service: On our visits, we’ve found the waitstaff to be attentive and well-​informed about the menu. One minor gripe is that even though you order at the table, you must get up to pay at the central register. (Not sure why they can’t take your cash or card at the table?)
Price: ~$ 50 for a pizza, salad and two drinks. The pizza, salad and drinks are all good and it is a very pleasant spot to spend an evening.
Tip: Pizzas are $ 10 after 10pm if you can wait that long to eat dinner.
Is it the best pizza ever? No. But if you’re looking for a more upscale spot to take a date or the wife out for decent meal, I think they will enjoy Pizzeria Romeo.

blt pizza (basically a caesar salad on top of a cheese pizza) is pretty darn good and the vibe is really nice, but I find the taste quality inconsistent. On our last visit the meatballs were overcooked and tough to cut through.
Apparently after 10pm they have $ 10 pizzas. Not huge in size, but filling.

Ducked into this place while looking for a place with vegetarian food. It’s pizza with a little bit of a local twist. People ate with fork and knives and I didn’t see any tourists around. The beer on tap was a local variety I’d never heard of before –it was passable.
Overall food wasn’t bad. But if you are looking for something that a vegetarian can eat on Mont-​Royal then this is an acceptable option.
