Why are some reviews so bad? I was hesitant but the daughter wanted Italian and we didn't want to walk far from the condo we were renting. So of the review had me thinking this was a family hole in the wall. We were pleasantly surprised to see spacious clean restaurant with full bar. Our daughter enjoyed her Caesar salad and fettuccine Alfredo. Pasta was al dented and the sauce was very tasty. I had the soup and salad conk I with cheese bread. The cheese bread was loaded with gooey cheese. The Greek salad I had was full of fresh greens,cucumbers and bell peppers. The Mediterranean soup was a tomato based soup that was very good. Service was spot on. read more

Ordered pizza on one NYE, one of the busiest nights of the year for any restearunt. Ordered 4 pizzas for family and one of the pizzas delivered was wrong. Called up and Manager who was so courteous that he got a new pizza delivered and made it a Large from the original medium we had ordered.5 stars not just for excellent customer service but the bloody pizzas are top notch quality.

The pizza! Mamma Mia need I say more? That Zesty Italian is great in delivery or in pickup/in store (when we were allowed to do this)! Great family owners business, hard-working, and care about the sale and your satisfaction. Great pizza, # 2 fan next to my father who's #1! Keep up the great work! read more

Romeos in Broadmead...busy but food came quite quickly.the kids' pizzas looked great with a nice crust, fish tacos were tasty but the burger meat didn't taste right, I'd consider it sub-par quality. Two of the group had burgers one mushroom and the other whiskey. I wouldn't recommend them. Fries were excellent though. Good service. read more

When is a free delivery free? With my last and final order with this company there website states ALL deliveries within 7 km and over $30 ARE FREE. Until today when I placed an order and was charged $5. I gave the driver my usual tip of $10 only to see I was charged $5 on my bill. I phoned the girl back to ask why I was charged $5 and she told me delivery is always been $5. I BEG TO DIFFER..DELIVERY COSTS ARE CLEARLY PRINTED ON THE COMPANIES WEBSITE. read more

This restaurant services the best pizza and pasta 2 for one and has the best lasagna and fettucini over any restaurant in Victoria. I would say it is the best. read more

We were in Victoria for a getaway and walked in to Romeos on a Saturday night, I'm glad we did,Upon entering the restaurant it was huge and very nicely decorated. We were immediately greeted by the hostess and shown to our booth. The waitress was over right away and asked what we wanted to drink. I ordered the Italian Deli pizza and was not disappointed, I am a pizza fanatic and can eat it all day.The pie came out looking so delicious i should of taken a picture of it! The pizza was amazing and came on my second best pizza i have ever tasted. The service was fantastic. I cant wait to go to Victoria again just for the pizza!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I have to give credit to Romeos during the pandemic, this pizza was better than I remembered but what made it even better than this, their delivery driver was 20 minutes earlier than told and had a lovely personality!! Thanks for making the choice to eat and support local so easy during these trying times!!! read more

I went to Romeos looking for a quick casual bite... But instead what I received was an experience like no other! Upon entering the restaurant my lovely and dare I respectfully say beautiful server Krista greeted me with a heart warming smile and service lIke I have never received at a restaurant before! I was treated like a king during my visit and I would be lying if I said the food Wasn't one of a kind either! Thank you to Romeos, The Management and Kitchen Staff, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY KRISTA for this amazing dining experience!! Please if you are reading this give Krista a raise she should be running the whole joint! And if you are lucky enough to be served by Krista be sure to say thanks and leave a huge tip read more

Absolutely atrocious service, but ultimately great pizza though! I'm afraid I cannot recommend this place (and/or location) due to the fact my friend and I were ignored 90% of our visit. I'm certain our server didn't care about her job sadly but that definitely was immediate impression we got. Anyways definitely won't be back. read more

Last Monday my wife and I ordered two baked raviolis with meat sauce. The person at Romeo's who took our order over the phone told us it would be a 1 hour and 15 minute wait for delivery of the food to us. We were fine with the 1 hour and 15 minute wait for delivery. The food did indeed get delivered to us exactly 1 hour and 15 minutes after we ordered. (We are in James Bay which is only about a 10-minute drive from the Romeo's location on Blanshard.) The problem is the baked raviolis that arrived at our place were dried out and tasteless. It was hard to get a fork into the ravioli dish because the pasta had hardened so much. Did Romeo's bake their ravioli dishes too long? We took a few bites and then threw out the rest of the ravioli. The ravioli was totally awful! We wasted over $40 (including delivery charge and tip). The Greek salad seemed to be missing ingredients and wasn't as good as usual either. Romeo's on Blanshard used to be much more consistent with their food that we order for delivery. Now it is a very hit-and-miss proposition. The last time we ordered baked lasagna with meat sauce, there seemed to be no meat sauce! Ten years ago there seemed to be much more of a tomato flavour in the baked ravioli and lasagna dishes. Nowadays, the tomato flavour is missing from their dishes! We are very disappointed in Romeo's. Won't order from them again. A total waste of money!!! read more

Great location, apparently this is their newest location in downtown Victoria. I heard someone referring to this location as the 'grown up' location. I've never been to a Romeo's but it's good. I had a entree salad and it was everything I needed. Service was good and I would go back. read more

The rating is for the pizza. The Maui Luau is so good! Even if you remove the bacon...my go to for a hawaiin pizza for sure. Only reason it is a 4 not a five is sometimes it is a bit cheese greesy, you know what I mean... Ps: Delivery time is always great as well. read more

Romeo's was a last minute decision to just get some food delivered for dinner rather than walking back out to get something. Had been driving and hiking around for the most of the day, so I was kind of over leaving the hotel room for anything else. Romeo's came up as one of the more popular pizza places in downtown Victoria other than the Boston Pizza chain. There are two different menus to order from here as they have a dine in menu and take away one. You can order from either one, but they have some good deals on the take out one. The person I called on the phone was perhaps one of the better people to take my delivery order over the phone. They were very clear, concise and repeated my order back to me to make sure it was correct. They quoted my time to be at about 45 minutes to an hour, the guy did show up in the time window. When the pizza finally got to my room, it was still very warm and looked like it wasn't sitting around for long. The only bummer is the driver didn't bring any forks or plates for me, I guess it's my fault for not asking though. The Hot Mexican specialty pizza cost me the expensive amount of 24 bucks for a regular sized one. The regular sized pizzas here are ten inches, which for one person is more than an enough in my opinion. The Hot Mexican pizza (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/romeos-downtown-victoria?select=O-cyqRLzlwys_A6q8hPnuA) was topped with chicken, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, cheddar and tomato sauce. It comes originally with ground beef, but that's some weird Texas thing that I don't associate with Mexican food and ground beef sounds horrible on a pizza. Luckily for me they allow two substitutions per pizza order at no charge. The pizza crust was seasoned very well, cooked perfect all the way to the center and the ingredients on top were melted well into the cheese. They didn't go too cheap on the toppings either, a very decent amount on top. Overall a pretty decent pizza, not the best but it definitely fulfilled my craving for a pizza. I also ordered some of their cheese bread (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/romeos-downtown-victoria?select=cw-8nyJjQ0iAJJHIfLJw-Q) on the side, which tasted kind of meh. While it was very cheesey, they could have used more spices on it to make it taste a bit less bland. Their side salad (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/romeos-downtown-victoria?select=eOnKKNmMWdkxXs1_g8Suxw) was okay, a mix of lettuce, carrots, cucumber, and peppers. The salad dressing went great with the veggies. Romeo's is a bit on the pricier side for their food, but I really can't complain too much, it was a decent pizza. I don't really order pizza too much, but on trips I love to at least try local pizza place. read more

See all

Why did Juliet kill herself? Because Romeo was a terrible cook. Terrible experience here, I paid $20 for the "smoked salmon penne" which was just canned artichoke hearts, and old chewy "smoked" salmon in a separated "cream sauce". The waiter seemed inconvenienced by working and was waiting on 6 tables including a big party of over 20 that took the majority of his time. One hour later I was throwing up my Romeo's meal. Absolutely awful, unimpressed and now I know to never go back. read more

On our recent trip to Victoria, we were trying to find a restaurant we'd read about on Yelp, but somehow got completely messed up and decided to check out Romeo's instead. I'd had pizza a lot in the past few days so I didn't want to order it again, but I wish I had tried it! Instead, we shared a plate of nachos which were great; I liked how they came with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole in little tortilla bowls - super cute. For my actual meal I ordered the Mediterranean salad. It was over $14 which seemed kind of steep, but it was a pretty large salad. I added grilled chicken instead of fish, and it was full of olives, chickpeas, and other delightful things. It was pretty good. I ate a few of my fiance's fries, too, because of course I did. All in all, I'm glad we stumbled upon this place; yeah, visiting a chain restaurant in a new place is probably lame, but no complaits here! read more

So my partner and I strolled into this place after walking around downtown and craving Italian food. Subsequently, we both ordered burgers and beer. It was actually really great. Our waitress is particularly why I was a fan of Romeo's. I don't remember her name, but she is a lovely blonde girl who is a native Victorian and wants to move to India to study Yoga. I love that whole international Canadian concept. I'm such a sucker for it. Our waitress was affable and great at making recommendations for things to do while being extremely friendly and fast. Our service here was very fast. I loved it. I'm happy to have gone to Romeo's. If you're looking for decent Italian food at an okay price, this is it! OH AND FREE WIFI. read more

They tow your car because apparently they're Too Good for your business and then make sure you're left with the bill. The food is overpriced and kind of mediocre. If I'm paying that much it should be better than something I made at home. The baked spaghetti was decent but I will no longer return to this location because of the car towing issue. Not worth it. read more

I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before coming here, because I swear they went to A different restaurant than I did. The waiter was friendly without trying to be my best friend, and we didn't have to wait for refills. The food was VERY good! I had the penne, my daughter had the fish tacos and my son had the burger. All of us were very impressed with both my kids saying that we MUST come back the next time we're in Victoria. We also had the chocolate cake for dessert. That totally topped off a wonderful dinner. We WILL return!! read more

You would have to be drunk to like this food. $10 for a few soggy oil soaked potato skins with fake bacon bits $15 for a hamburger that tastes like it was made out of canned dogfood with no spice. (I did ask them to hold the BBQ sauce and mayo which no doubt normally serve to cover a multitude of substandard restaurant kitchen choices) $15 for a Mediterranean salad with a tiny bit of chicken and some of the bits of lettuce would have been discarded in your own kitchen at home. I hadn't ordered from Romeo's for years. And when I got this order THE WHY all came flooding back. The young woman who took my order was friendly and efficient and the driver was nice. But now I regret pointing out that he was about to undercharge me $10. lol This food was miserable and I won't be making this mistake again. read more

Odd they can afford rent. Empty restaurant. Mediocre food. High prices. Go to Il Terrazo instead. Been here a few times over the years and never impressed me. A few of the staff are friends, but I can't say I enjoy coming to the resturant read more

It has been years since we ordered pizza from Romeos because the last time it was cold and undercooked. This time it was greasy cold and overcooked so awful it went in the bin.The pizza dough was very sweet and appeared to be prebought. Might be OK if you eat at the restaurant but not delivered read more

We went there last night with my family and a few friends for my 51 first birthday. All I can say is we will NEVER go back. The service was god awful. We had to go and get r own cutlery and napkins the whole time we were there. Finally I tracked down r waitress and told her the empty dishes were really starting to pile up and our table and if she was abil to clear them and bring us some much needed napkins and cutlery,she just stared at us blankly. A manager came and cleared some of the dishes,and then told us she was really busy with other customers. There were only 2 other tables in the restaurant,and they weren't even her tables,lol. It was just sad. My mom didn't even receive her meal. Then the manager came over and told us people not receiving there meal happens there all the time,and made it sound like this kind of service was acceptable. The food was ok,but the service,or lack there of is reason enough for us to never venture back there again. When we go out for dinner we expect to be treated fairly and with respect and dignity. My mom's dinner order was given to another costumer in the restaurant and they never even apologized for it. They made our dinning experience terrible. Not to mention ruin my birthday dinner. We will never ever go back there. I do not recommend the Romeo's on Hillside to anyone. read more

Well my previous review was much higher and I had much more positive things to say. Since then I've been back under a handful of times and each time getting progressively worse. Yam fries have been overcooked last 3 times to the point they just taste burnt, not even a hint of yam...the "gyro" wrap was a dry lump of pita with a hint of meat (least recommended item) and the pizzas have been overcooked to near indistinguishable toppings. I live close so I was willing to try as the first couple times the food had been decent. I don't know if maybe I keep getting the same cook, but whoever it is needs to keep better track of their cooking. I don't think I will be back again. However, the service has always been great and the food hot...but terrible. Wouldn't recommend going unless they do a serious overhaul in the kitchen. read more

In the last few years of ordering from the Blanchard location it would be honest to say it would be 50/50 getting a pizza that would be what you requested or not overcooked. A couple weeks ago we ordered pizza from this branch and for some reason, even though it was specified not to have shrimp on a custom order, they reasoned to put shrimp on the pizza. We were outraged about shellfish on the pizza and they promised to make it up to us with two free large pizzas. Well, we got one tonight and it was short of the extra sauce were requested and very overcooked. Guess they didn't try too hard too make it up to us. I think they do not staff with folks who give a damn and I would suggest any number of other joints that do care what their customers want. We've had it with Romeo's. Good Riddance. read more

Good food but horrible service. Very slow and servers were inconsiderate and rude. If you have time to sit and wait it's a good place to eat but if you have somewhere to go no so good. Our server was especially rude and was making us wait to pay. read more

Excellent food. Went with a friend last night for dinner. I have been a patron here for 9 years and the food and customer service is always top notch. I had a chicken quesidia, stu had fish and chips and allen had a chicken pasta dish and all were great. and the drinks were at good prices to, will def go back. read more

Good food, stupid expensive. We ordered cheese bread since the lasagna did not state that it came with bread, the waitress knew this, also knew bread DID come with it, she just did not speak up. The waitress is supposed to be my advocate, not run up the bill. read more

The service for their takeaway is LOUSY and when the food invariably arrives it is always either cold and/or with half the meal missing(who could mess up a single meal of burger and fries when that is the only meal being ordered?Invariably they do over and over again that is is clearly their standard sub-service). It is so frustrating to order a meal and for near $20- you get a stone cold burger-no fries,no drink that were paid for and then ,upon calling to complain, getting an insolent,indifferent response as if YOU are putting THEM out. On top of this, because they are so stingy with their burger toppings( I am talking ONE slice of see-through-thin pickle) one has to pay $2.00 extra to top up the pickle to what a decent restaurant would supply as part of the price! Never any napkins, plastic cutlery or condiments-even when asked-like the fries and drink, they are usually forgotten. And I was a regular customer who lived in hope that 'finally this time they would get my order right'. I shall not be ordering from Romeos again. Their food is over-priced, customer PR is non-existent and they can't even get it together to send a complete burger and fries meal when it is the only thing being ordered! This has happened time and time again, and worse, they simply are not interested! read more

Best fries in Victoria. Not joking. We order their pizza as well, amazing. Service is great and food is awesome! Surprised this place doesn't have better reviews... Been to a lot of places and been spoiled by living in Vancouver. Highly recommend. read more

I love their chicken caesar salad, and my son loves the chicken tenders. Tried the pasta tonight, and wasn't impressed at all. This isn't the first time I've tried a different thing other than salad, and been disappointed. The pizza is amazing as well - I guess I won't be straying to try other items, but stick to the known. read more

This place is BAD! I parked in the lot well waiting for my wife to show up. The waitress said I didn't need a parking ticket as I was Inq about after reading sign in parking lot. When I went outside to meet her, my car had been towed. I asked the waitress what happened. She got the owners son, A very arrogant younger guy. He told me to stop lying that I was going to eat in here. I said, check the reservation book I just had the waitress mark my name in and explained I was waiting for my wife in the lobby. When the owner finally came down, I saw why the son was so rude. Complete arrogant ass. Did nothing, didn't even say sorry. Also the most expensive pizza ever. Go anywhere else but. read more

BIMBO and No follow up! I ordered, and paid for in advance, with VERY EXPLICIT delivery request. She told me " No problem, we can do it" Highlighted in yellow. Delivery came nearly 50 minutes later than requested, and the reason. .. didn't see the order. I asked and was assured that the order would be correct, Then i tried to follow up, 2 managers ( yea right ) No follow up, no attempt to make good. I WAS a regular with only $400 plus of deliveries a year. LAST ORDER was definitely the last!! Seems that everyone is a " manager" but Nobody knows what the hell they're doing and how to fix a problem. . . read more
