Wonderful Restaurant!

I had my wedding dinner at Romeo's. We were a small party of 12. The owner and the staff were wonderful and treated us like family. The food was delicious and the restaurant was beautiful. There was live music and the singer even took requests. I coud not have asked for a better dining experience for my wedding dinner. Thank you Romeo Cucina!

• Pros: Great ambiance, delicious food and wonderful service.
• Cons: None

Great service and delicous food!

I went there on a dinner date prior to seeing Pageant of the Masters. The service was excellent. I didn't have to ask once to have my cup refilled and my dish which was a Penne with an olive oil based sauce with chicken breast was delicous and brought out quickly. The bread is excellent. Please dip in the olive oil mixed with balsamic vinegar and a little salt. Yum!

Next time I want to try the pizza.

Avoid - period. This place was beyond poor.

My girlfriend and I had reservations to go to Las Brisas for her birthday dinner - but as we walked by this place, we were lured in by the smell - and they were able to seat us right away, so we decided on a last minute change of plans.

Big mistake.

The server - Bryan - literally made his entrance by giving us a dirty look and clearing his throat due to the fact that we had our menus open and he couldn't readily set the bread plates down. I kid you not. He then sat the plates down and walked away - I assumed he was a bus-boy, but when he appeared 5 minutes later and said "What can I get you to drink?" (No hello, no introduction, nothing) I deduced we were stuck with him. The service didn't get any better - it took me 25 minutes to get a glass of water, 40 minutes for our salad, and 60 minutes for our pizza. As a former server myself, I am an extremely generous tipper - but not for Bryan. As we were ignored, I saw him litereally standing there having in depth conversations with the tables that were drinking bottles of wine. Can you say tip pandering? That douche deserved the 5% tip I left him.

The pizza was by no means worth $15. My girlfriend got one with some feta cheese and other good stuff on there, and I got one with chicken on there. Mine was a 1 star pizza, hers was a 3 star pizza. By the time you got our $10 salad on there and a glass of lemonade for her, you were up to a $50 meal, which is completely ridiculous.

Don't be lured in by the smell (as we were) or these other reviews - this restaurant is NOT worth your time. Avoid.

• Pros: None to speak of.
• Cons: See below. Poor service, overpriced, lame food.
