*****  Romeo’s Ristorante, North US Highway 1, Jupiter, Florida 33477, (561) 741-4345.

Got a terrific very-moderately priced “Southern Italian Red Sauce” joint for you…Romeo’s Ristorante, located in Jupiter, Florida.

Romeo’s menu is loaded with all of the “standard” appetizers, salads,  soups, pastas, meat/seafood/chicken entrees…but, unlike most of the joints that dot the South Florida landscape, Romeo’s food is absolutely delicious. A recent “taste test” of veal parmigiana, chicken on the bone cacciatore, clams casino, rigatoni ala vodka and shrimp fra diavolo made me wish that this joint with its blond-wood table tops was in my neighborhood. Large portions…Terrific food…Good service…Prices no more than your favorite neighborhood joint.

Now for the kicker…Romeo’s in addition to terrific food has all kinds of musical entertainment covering the 1940’s-70’s. Some of the performances require reservations and the purchase of “dinner packages”…while others like Ryan & The Rockers a South Florida 1950’s-60’s rock n’ roll cover band  which is scheduled to appear on November 15th and November 29th are free.

Romeo’s is open Monday-Friday 11am-9pm…Saturday 3pm-9pm and Sunday 4:30pm-9pm. If the “music” angle of this joint is of interest, I would suggest giving Romeo’s a call for a complete schedule.
