I found him to be very professional but the place is warm. I hear he has a very nice lunch special and I am going to try it. No complaints, food was excellent and service was great. I have paid more for what was rated as the best italian rest. in miami (it's on the beach...) and it couldn't even come close to Romeo's. I recommend to all friends for special occasions and none have been disappointed. Really an outstanding place! I have had my best meal in Miami at Romeo’s, it was fantastic.

There's extensive discussion on chow.com and the general consensus agrees with your experience: a cute gimmick and a fun experience for a date, but the food is a bit ordinary and occasionally a little sub-par.

I've seen good Brunellos, Barolos and even Sagrantino that retails around $60. By the time the wine gets to the restaurant, there's at least a 200 percent markup. Another story: My roommate works for a restaurant and they offer their employees the wholesale price of wine: I got a 2002 higher-end Cabernet for $12 that sells for $35 at the shops. Just one question, though, did Romeo's serve Spam Primavera? In my view, an Italian restaurant sans Spam fused somewhere into at least one pasta did is not Italian at all, whether it's spam puttanesca, spam carbonara or spamma alla' matriciana. For all you intrepid M&L recipe-hounds, enjoy: http://www.recipesource.com/main-dishes/meat/pork/spam/00/rec0019.html You’re right about bringing your own wine.

Meal sounded kind of uninspired. Do they have coctails? That's always a good noise cure for me. Hey hey Paula-Good to see you back. Meal sounded kind of uninspired. Do they have coctails?

Interesting. I've been dying to go there, but I've also heard mixed reviews. Sorry your experience wasn't what you were hoping. Nice review, though! Hmmm… Interesting.
