I finally had a chance to go to Romeo Chef and Baker a few weeks ago. I found the space to be very modern, and airy. I liked the fact that while it is a restaurant, you can also go there for an aperitivo, to buy bread and baked goods, and they have a deli section for cheese and cold cuts.
We arrived early by Italian standards, but wanted to have dinner and not an aperitivo. Even though the restaurant was huge,and empty we were somehow placed not far from the restrooms, so they obviously loose points for that! I have to say my overall experience was not positive. I had high expectations since this is part owned by Cristina Bowerman of Glass (Michelin starred restaurant) and the people behind Roscioli. I have been to Glass and enjoyed it very much, and Roscioli is my go to place when I want to have a nice dinner. Service was good, keeping in mind that the place was empty, and so was the bread.
We had :
Costolette di agnello, verza, chips e salsa BBQ
€ 11,00
Tartare di gamberi, ceci in hummus e pomodoro aromatizzato
€ 15,00
Cavatelli vongole, cozze, vermouth e finocchietto
€ 13,00
Tagliatelle, pesto di zucchine, pinoli e ricotta affumicata
€ 11,00
Mont Blanc and Tiramisu €8 each

We enjoyed the appetizers very much, found the pasta to be nothing special, actually my Cavatelli were pretty tasteless, but we really enjoyed the dessert. I would say the dessert was probably the highlight.
