Romeo Cucina Presents World Renowned Giovanni.

What a delightful surprise!  A very special talent is currently attracting patrons anew at Romeo Cucina, the Romeo brothers’ 20 year success in downtown Laguna Beach.  Local devotees  recall that their prominent trattoria immediately captivated the seaside resort with its architectural splendor and the delicious family recipes from their native Italy.  With a wood-burning fireplace that is warmly welcoming, guests readily observe crusty pizzas baking while enjoying drinks and dinner.  True Italian hospitality prevails to this day throughout the restaurant and cocktail lounge. And where else are people tempted with happy hour delights every day from 5 to 7 p,m. with wines by the glass for $3.50, complimentary house baked bread with olive tepanade, and for $7.95 relish a choice of scrumptious specialties.
