"Excellent family run restaurant. Traditional romantic atmosphere. Was packed to the brim, always a good sign but service was still excellent and food was amazing. Highly recommend. Waitresses work so hard and are lovely."

Katharine Bryning

"What a hidden gem. We've been meaning to try this restaurant for a very long time, and gutted it took so long for us to go. I took my parents who were visiting from the midlands. We all had the Meze, and just wow all of it was wow. Everything was incredibly fresh, homemade and just cooked with soul. That's hard to come by nowadays. I cannot wait to come back and give the stiffado a go, if you're in the mood for authentic Cypriot/Greek food, look no further. "

James Roper

"Thank you so much for a fabulous evening. Our friends visiting from New Zealand and Salisbury loved the food, the excellent service and fantastic atmosphere. Living locally we will most certainly visit Romanzo again. Thank you."

"The best Greek food I’ve tasted outside Greece for sure! We opted for the 2 courses for £21 special, Greek meatballs and garlic mushrooms to start. Then chicken souvlaki with rice, Greek salad and tzatziki. And stifado which was the most tender beef I’ve ever tasted in beautiful rich flavoured sauce. The roast potatoes are out of this world! Amazing service, gorgeous food. What more could you want?"

Aimee Ramage

"Authentic greek Cypriot dishes in a family run restaurant that has been busy for 5 decades. Famous dishes on the menu if you want to find out how they should be done. Lamb is a feature but there are options including vegan. Customers leave happy and content. Very easy to get to with bus routes. Parking: Parking available on the street outside but between 18:30 and 20:30 you will be lucky to get a spot. Free on street parking a little further away. Plenty of paid carparks nearby. "
