Homemade pasta. Stone-oven pizza. Tableside salads. For more than 30 years, Romeo & Julieta has delighted guests with its showmanship and commitment to high standards. And Italian-born chef Matias Forte has proved himself a formidable ambassador of the restaurant and food (and wine) of his home country. And, with dishes like bucattini al ragu and papardelle al funghi, he does his homeland proud.

Try Forte’s grilled baby lamb chops or the pork belly, which is cooked for 36 hours served with beer gravy. Two new salads are offered along with the favorite Caesar salad prepared at table. Tortellini stuffed with king crab is a new item served in a light seafood sauce, and pizza lovers will be pleased to see a new variety with smoked salmon. He’s also trying to win over Los Cabos residents and visitors when it comes to other aspects of Italian life.

He’s created a new wine list, with more Italian wines and more choices at the best prices. With a choice of dining rooms and a beautiful patio open to the stars, it is not difficult to find a romantic spot to celebrate occasions big and small.
