Signature Dish
Tuna Tacos Featured On Expanded Menu At Romeo’s Story and Photos by Julie Unger
Nestled in the Wellington Marketplace at Greenview Shores Blvd. and Wellington Trace, Romeo’s Italian Cuisine started out as a pizzeria, but has recently evolved into a full-scale Italian restaurant offering brunch, lunch, sunset and dinner. Glittering lights and soothing music create a warm and inviting atmosphere as the smell of classic Italian cuisine emanates from the kitchen. Much has changed about Romeo’s in its nine-year history, with a grand re-opening in November 2015. Co-owners Tony Manglaviti and Sebastian Romeo expanded the operation from a 40-seat pizzeria to a 200-seat restaurant with a bar, outdoor dining, a soon-to-open private event room, tapas, brunch, lunch, dinner and entertainment. Now, the menu includes pizza, seafood and fresh pasta. “We do everything from scratch, starting with the pasta and pizza dough. We use fresh,
organic meats,” Manglaviti said. “We grew based on pizza, but what we want to bring to the community is that we do not just do great pizza, but we concentrate on healthy, organic, gourmet food. We have a little bit of everything. We accommodate everybody. We have seafood, pizza, pasta, healthy salads.” The new menu reflects the focus on specialty foods with mussels, Maine lobster, grilled eggplant, seasonal vegetables, intricate salads and sophisticated meal combinations. wellington the magazine | july 2016
