It’s always a treat to visit this authentic Italian restaurant, but that’s especially true when Italian-born chef Matias Forte introduces new items to the menu. A recent addition is similar to that favorite Caprese salad. Called burrata pugliese, it is made with a very fresh, creamy cheese and served with figs, Campari tomatoes, and a red wine reduction. The Insalata Julieta has long been a popular salad, and the new Insalata Romeo spices things up with goat cheese and avocado croutons. There’s also a new risotto, this one prepared with saffron, prosecco, pancetta, and asparagus. New items featuring house-made pasta include bucattini al ragu in a sauce made with slow-cooked shredded veal osso buco and, for vegetarians, the papardelle al funghi, which is made with fresh spinach, asparagus, and wild mushrooms. Meat lovers will enjoy the beef loin served with a Chianti sauce and the tender rump steak with shaved Parmesan cheese. If you are a romantic or a movie buff, you’ll think of Under the Tuscan Sun when you see a sauce of limoncello and orange over grilled chicken breast. Return visitors in the know typically opt for the Caesar salad prepared at table and favorite pastas and pizzas. A new wine list is also in the making, with more Italian wines and more choices at the best prices. As the chef says, “In Italy, wine is like water for the Italian family. It may be Cabo, but for a couple of hours, come to Romeo & Julieta and enjoy authentic Italian fare like an Italian.” 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. On any given night, enjoy live music. It may be a guitar troubadour or music from an electric violin.
