Romeo's Euro Caf

I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS on places but this one had to be done. My wife and I have traveled many places and eaten at many restaurants. We go out to eat every weekend and when we like a place we tell everyone about it and go back many times. My experience with Romeo 's was so shocking, rude and offensive I could not not post my review. This was our 4th time going to Romeos in the last 3 months since reading about them in the paper of how great their desserts were. My wife and I love desert cafe 's and Romeo 's had a large selection. The first time we went we each got dessert and liked what we got. The 2nd time we went with friends for dinner and thought it was pretty good. The menu is so huge it took us 20 minutes to order as we couldn 't decide on what to eat. The 3rd time we went for desert with 10 people from my office. The final and 4th time we went which was on Friday was literally the worst experience of my life. 3 out of 4 times we went we always had the same waitress who I am assuming now is the owner. (I did not get her name). We came once again for dessert and my wife and her sister spent about 20 minutes trying to decide on what to order. They went to the restroom for a bit and then came back. They had ordered a piece of white cake, baklava cheesecake and some fudge pie cake thing. The cheesecake was pretty good, the fudge thing was decent although at 5.50 was extremely small and the white cake thing was terrible. It was dry and basically no flavor. We all tried it and left basically 3/4 of the cake. When the bill came it was 3 pieces of cake and tax. I told our waitress that I did not wish to pay for the piece of white cake as we did not think it was good and dry. She just looked at us and walked into the back of the restaurant and told the lady that had helped us the 3 times in the past. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS SHOCKING: The waitress (owner) came over to our table and said I was told you didn 't like something you ordered. I proceeded to tell her that we would pay for the other items but didn 't think the white cake was good as it was to dry. She then proceeded to pick up the plate with my fork on it. I knew what she was going to do and sat there in shock. She literally cut a piece off the cake and ate it and said there is nothing wrong with this cake, it is not dry . I told her I cannot believe you just did that. She said I am not going to take this off of the bill just because you didn 't like it. She then asked me and my brother in law if we owned our own businesses which we do both happen to do. She then walked away from our table. As we all sat there in SHOCK I said I am not paying for that cake. I left $11 in cash which was 2 cakes and tax and walked out. My wife, sister in law and her husband stayed in the restaurant. The waitress then came back to the table and said so you just are not going to pay for the food. They again told her they would pay for it all but that piece of cake. She then proceeded to say to my sister in law out loud to the whole restaurant. Are you not the one who was just in the bathroom throwing up trying to make her look stupid in front of the other patrons. At this they left the money on the table minus the cake money and walked out. What was this person thinking? We estimated that this piece of cake cost them .80 to make. Was it really worth the amount of lost business they will be receiving? The least she should have done was to offer us something to replace this piece of cake with or just offered to remove the charge from the bill. Besides the 12 other people we told to come to this restaurant who will never go again. How many people will they tell. Like I said I never post reviews but this experience to me was so shocking I couldn 't not leave a review.

Romeo's food never fails to please the senses. The dishes are original, delicious and satisfying. This is cuisine that you will crave and keep coming back to. You can make a whole meal out of the fantastic appetizers try the spicy lamb potatoes or the feta dill fritters for a hearty starter or for something lighter the Greka (warm sautéed olives, garlic peppers with feta! or Foccacia De La Provencia. Romeo's make their own gyro in house guaranteed it is the best gyro you will try in the Valley! The salad selection is amazing 18 counting! And, bring your appetite for the entrées there will be enough to share or take home for lunch. Some favorites are the Tortellini Gianni, the Pork Molise and the Goat Shrimp, and for the meat potato lovers the schnitzel is a must. And if you do not have room for dessert get it to go. All the cakes and pastries are made in house and are scrumptious. The wine list is exciting and ever changing not your every day wines in this restaurant. Romeo is a true oenophile and will gladly recommend the best wine for your meal. Try one of the monthly wine pairings 4 courses with matched wines this is where Romeo's creativity really shines. Go to the Euro Café for a meal that you will not soon forget great food in a cozy atmosphere and good vino. It is well worth the drive to Gilbert.

We decided to try this place after reading an article about FB, Top 15 Restaurants in Arizona. It was about 40 minutes waiting for 3 people, so next time we will definitely make a reservation, but it was absolutely worth it and worth the 20 minutes drive! We will definitely come back!

I love this place absolutely. I can recommend nothing except the baked chicken ziti, because it is my favorite and the only thing I order! My husband tried something new every time and was not disappointed. Your side salad needs some work to try a soup.
