Romeo's in Oude Stad

Fixed stop for those who love quality and authenticity. Everything was excellent, from cappuccino to sandwiches to lasagna! Cozy and warm atmosphere. A little glimpse of real Italy in Haarlem!

This place is a very rare find. A small cute and has a homely hearty vibe, making your experience feel comfortable. With a lot of similar foods out there, I had a benchmark expectation. Shockingly surprised, it had surpassed my expectations. The bread is home made, traditional flavours and there is a lot of love put in when preparing their rolls/sandwiches. When it comes to Italian panini, Romeo’s does not disappoint. I literally experienced the similar scene from the film Ratatouille where the critic took a bite and transported him back to his childhood. I felt I left the Netherlands and transported to Italy for a brief moment after taking the first bite. To top this off, the staff are friendly and beckoning as you enter. I believe it’s a family business and it’s nice to have something authentic in the central area of Harlem. No doubt I will revisit this place again. Highly recommended for a good taste of Italian style Panini.

In Haarlem Romeo's is known as ... The Italian sandwich shop with the tastiest sandwiches and more! Last Saturday 18/01 I enjoyed a Prochetta Speciale Sandwich, Excellent Cappuccino with it 'I'm a Fan' and will come back soon

What a top tent and also in Haarlem. Sorry this review took a while longer. I ate a sandwich once because luckily there was a table available and then had it again to see if they were really that tasty. And yes, the sandwiches are really delicious. Also the tea and coffee. It's not surprising that there are often many people waiting and... it really is worth the wait.

“Authentic Italian Panino in Haarlem “ If you’re looking for a taste of true Italian craftsmanship, Romeo’s is the place to go. This charming spot captures the essence of Italian cuisine with its freshly made panini, prepared using high-quality products. I had the “Coppa di Parma “ and it was absolutely divine. The bread was fresh and perfectly toasted, with a soft interior and a golden crust. The staff was warm and welcoming, happy to recommend the best options based on your preferences. The setting is cozy and authentic, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a casual meal or a quick bite. For anyone craving an authentic Italian experience, Romeo’s is a must-visit. It’s not just a meal; it’s a celebration of Italian food culture! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very tasty sandwiches and very friendly help.

Really great sandwiches and a perfect panna cotta If you are in Haarlem, definitely get a sandwich. See you soon

Probably the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Fair prices, everything fresh and prepared right in front of you. There aren't many seating options but it's easy to take with you. Super friendly staff who were courteous and warm despite being busy. A detour is definitely worth it!

Best sandwiches I've ever eaten. Special visitors from The Hague come by. Truly heavenly. Can't describe how good this is. Super nice people who work there too.

Their Italian-style sandwiches are truly exceptional; fresh, flavorful, and made with top-quality ingredients. The cozy atmosphere adds to the charm of the place, and the owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, always smiling. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious food in Haarlem!

It was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, customizing the food and using fresh products with separate equipment just for me to ensure no traces of allergens. Truly exceptional and thoughtful service! The food was absolutely delicious, and the store was very clean. I highly recommend Romeo’s!

Classic Italian sandwich shop in Amsterdam. An institution in the making.

Cosy, tasty but also full. The sandwiches are delicious but the line is often very long.

Fresh and delicious! We took sandwiches and sat in the nearest park.

Nothing really to say here. Just gorgeous

Probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had!

Delicious sandwiches! Well filled, fresh and homemade. Also a good price!

Delicious food in a cozy and busy place (lunch time). The porchetta, salame and double espresso sandwiches were delicious. Despite the crowds, the service was quick and friendly. Ps and if there are many Italian customers walking around in an Italian sandwich shop, it can only be good... and that's it! Highly recommended!!!

Genuinely the best sandwich I have ever eaten. Real Italian ingredients and staff.

There is a reason why they are popular in Haarlem! I loved both of the sandwiches!! The bread was kind of chewy, I liked that a lot. They are definitely worth the price and worth the try! 😊

Fantastic sandwiches and great team! I placed a group order and Romeo's team went above and beyond to accommodate my request for vegan options. Although they only have 1 vegan option normally, they created 2 extra options. The sandwiches were incredibly delicious, with fresh ingredients and creative combinations. My friends loved the sandwiches! Especially the bread was so fresh and tasty! The team was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Romeo's for anyone looking for delicious food!

Very friendly owners who know how to make delicious Italian sandwiches freshly prepared with homemade products

This is THE place to get your lunch/sandwich. The sandwiches are delicious and so are the mini pizzas.

At the recommendation of my daughter, I had a really delicious fried pork belly sandwich here. The business is run by real Italians and you can taste their love for food here. Really super fresh sandwich and well topped with all kinds of delicious meats, mozzarella, etc. Also delicious pizza and lasagna. Quite busy. They are queuing to order something here, but you can also sit inside.

"5 stars? Really? That must be fake". Let me tell you that those 5 stars are earned. The best sandwiches I've ever had in my life and with every bite I feel like I'm in Italy. My company fell in love with the amazing home made foccacia's and we now order almost every week! I especially want to thank for Chiara for the amazing service after a quick phone call, we really appreciate it!

The guys who work there are very kind. What they prepare is all excellent. Every time I go to Haarlem the stop is mandatory.

Well, I would prefer to get a sandwich here every day. The service is very friendly and always with a big smile. Enjoy the sandwiches with every bite. The only downside is that they are closed on Mondays hihi......(of course more than deserved because everyone works really hard) What a worldly affair!!

Tasty sandwiches. Truffle mayo, very truffley. You'll stink from your mouth for the rest of the day, but that's someone else's problem. Totally worth the tasty sandwich.

Best panini in Haarlem. Fresh and great quality ingredients!

Best food, best service, and best name of all Haarlem. Thank you guys

No matter where you come from, at Romeo's you are always at home.

Definitely the best spot for sandwich lovers in Haarlem. Fresh bread and ingredients, alongside a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I bring my Italian friends here and they can't get enough of it. It tastes exactly like something they would get back home. Highly recommend this place to anyone that wants value for their money and a delicious lunch :)

Prepare for an explosion of flavors in your mouth. That’s the place for a sandwich!

The most amazing sandwiches in Haarlem. Sandwich is freshly prepared with the highest quality products. The staff is also extremely friendly, definitely recommended!

Best sandwich in Haarlem! Mortadella special and Copa di Parma are my favorite choices 🥰

Delicious sandwiches and very friendly people!

SO good! You have to try it to get it 😌

Fantastic thing! Very friendly people and delicious sandwiches. Prices have remained the same despite popularity.

Best sandwiches ever! Good portions and generously matured. Delicious lunch. There was a line, but it moved fairly quickly and was more than worth the wait

Delicious sandwiches, good coffee and very nice staff

The staff was super friendly and the food was simply great - also a very good price-performance ratio!!

This was my best warm Italian sandwich as yet. The bread was lightly crisp on top and velvety in the center and again lightly crisp at the bottom. The veggies were fresh and tasty and the mozzarella was the star of the show. Everything came together flawlessly and the sandwich was sublime and with the extra olives I paid 8.5 eur in total. I will be back again and again and again soon. Keep up the good work.

Very very tasty sandwiches. Absolutely recommended. We were there twice today

Exceptional! Super smiling cooks/waiters!! I took the Mediterranean it was really.. delicious.. I’m THRILLED <3

We have been coming here every week for a year, sometimes even more often! Great sandwiches and great people! The only disadvantage is the crowds, but we are certainly willing to pay for that! Our favorite: Verdure Grigliare with burrata as an extra topping. (Vegetarian) Also tasty: pizzas, tiramisu, parmigiana, coppa di parma (actually everything :))

The only reason I fear giving Romeo’s a rave review is that selfishly I wish we could keep it a secret. But, since it’s clearly too late for that - it’s the best place for sandwiches and Italian treats in Haarlem. Food: amazing. Staff: About as lovely and sweet as you can get.

Nice pizza and spaghetti Bolognese!

Wow!!! OMG!!! Bella Italia in Haarlem and sooooo delicious!!! 😋 We tried ciabatta and our companion a mini pizza. Fluffy and delicious... I had a ciabatte with Coppa di Parma, real truffles and burrata. A dream!!! It's worth waiting for a moment. Goes quickly. Really delicious 😋 😋 😋 would love to come back

I have now had a sandwich here for the second weekend in a row and all the reviews here are true, in one word fantastic! A sandwich that would get 5 stars even without toppings, but the whole thing makes my mouth water again while writing this. All sandwiches are great, but I personally think the coppa di Parma is unparalleled.

Most delicious Italian food - loved the sandwiches 🥪 💜 Best quality ingredients, super nice staff. Was very crowded but the atmosphere is very authentic. Total recommendation 👍🏻

These types of cafes are very normal in Italy, but in the Netherlands you won't get such good quality anywhere. Good pizzas, excellent coffee, fine oil, fresh ingredients, fair prices. Bravo ragazzi!

Perfect! The best place of all Haarlem. I love it.

Amazing service and food! 100% recommend

Awesome!! Nice tent, nice people and the tastiest sandwiches❤️

Super tasty sandwiches, very friendly people. Even though it is busy, you never have to wait long. A real asset to Haarlem!

Best Focaccia Best panna cotta Very nice staff Thank you so much

Everything was delicious and of good quality. An Italian gem in lovely Haarlem. Highly recommended!

Nice and simple option for take-away lunch when you're exploring Haarlem on a sunny day. Although we liked the panini, we've tried better options elsewhere. They are served cold and they're not crunchy (although the bread is made fresh) and the sandwich choice is quite simple. We would have liked to see some melanzane more elaborate panini type, for example. Regardless, it's a good price, portions are enough and the ingredients are very generous. We ordered the cotto. To my liking, the cooked ham had too much fat on the sides. Although the cotto panini is quite simple, the sundried tomatoes really gave the panini a twist, more than the tomatoes, it was a spread and it was very tasty. They have some indoor tables but it's very busy, so we recommend ordering take-away. In less than 10 minutes, we got our order to enjoy in a nearby park. The staff are friendly and they come well-wrapped in paper.

Absolutely the best sandwich house there is

Oh my goodness, just wow! I expected this place to be overhyped by reading the perfect reviews, but from the first bite of my prosciutto sandwich to the last, it was pure sandwich perfection. The home made bread was delicious, a nice hint of chewiness without being tough. Together with good quality prosciutto paired with fresh mozzarella, it was simply fantastic. It took a little while for me to order because of how busy it was, but I waited around 10 minutes in total and the staff were all very friendly. If I knew it would be so good, I would have tried a pizzetta too or one of the desserts, but I will certainly be back soon for more. Certainly worthy of the blanket 5 star reviews, highly recommended!

Some of the best sandwiches in town. Real Italian food by real Italians. Service with s smile even when it is real busy

Absolute favourite! Everything tastes like heaven! Kindest and most hardworking people behind the counter!

We visited Romeo’s this weekend for the first time. Heard a lot of positive things so we went there with high hopes and they delivered!! We ordered three different sandwiches and the bread was amazing, they fill them royally as well and they were fresh. This is a great gem in Haarlem and hopefully they stay for a long time.

The best panini place in Haarlem. The paninis are fresh and delicious. The service outstanding, the atmosphere is authentic italian. Highly recommended!

Very friendly staff, great sandwiches (and very accommodating for vegans & vegetarians)

Amazing, my favorite spot in this area

Super tasty sandwiches with homemade bread and high-quality cold cuts, tiramisu is also really recommended. Furthermore, warm service.

Had the porchetta sandwich last sunday and I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s like a primal ravenous craving. The best sandwich I ever had. Hands down.

EN: Feels like Italy, tastes like Italy, combined with great Italian atmosphere and service – it's a great place for a short and fantastic recharge with delicious Italian food. 100% authentic, we recommend the Tiramisu as a perfect end to the trip to Italy 🇮🇹 EN: Feels like Italy, tastes like Italy, combined with great Italian atmosphere and service - so it's a great place for a short and fantastic break with delicious Italian food. 100% authentic, we recommend the tiramisu as the perfect end to the trip to Italy 🇮🇹

The perfect place to enjoy true Italian flavours... in this splendid city you can't help but make a regular stop at Romeo... sure to find a super welcoming environment, kindness and professionalism that make you appreciate it even more the quality of the excellent sandwiches 🤗

Excellent Italian sandwich shop with wonderful friendly staff. You can also get lasagna and the tastiest homemade tiramisu there. The sandwiches are made in-house every day. The prices are very reasonable considering that everything is fresh from our own kitchen. An asset to Haarlem and an honor that they have established their business here.

Easily the best focaccias I have eaten in the Netherlands! The Mortadella is amazing. It strikes a perfect balance between creaminess and meatiness. Definitely a visit worthy if you are in Haarlem or in the neighborhood of Haarlem!😃

We had a great time in this cute Italian restaurant. The bread was fresh and delicious, and so were the sandwiches. And the tiramisu was amazing! I definitely recommend stopping at Romeo's when you're in Haarlem.

Best sandwich in Haarlem. Beatriz is very friendly. I loved it 🤩

Delicious sandwiches. We've come here 3 times already. Tiramisu is a must!

100cells reigns! Now a fixed stop, there is no place in Holland that can compete for the quality of the food and the kindness and friendliness of the staff. The venue is a bit small, but that only makes the whole experience even more special. A must for anyone passing through Haarlem!

Delicious (home-baked) Italian sandwiches. It is a small business so it can be very busy during lunch. The fact that it is so busy says it all, the food is delicious. In addition to sandwiches, you can also buy individual sandwiches and small pizzas. In my opinion, highly recommended!

High quality sandwiches from super friendly people. The bread is really top-notch - favorite is the Parma with burrata!

Very friendly, super tasty and value for money is totally fine.

Love this place. Everything they have is top notch! And the people are the best!

What delicious sandwiches they make at Romeo's! They make the focaccia themselves and you have a lot of choice about what to put on it. The service is also fast despite there being lines at times during lunch. Personally, I wish they had a bigger place so everyone can enjoy their lunch in peace.

The sandwiches are truly a specialty. It is difficult to find Italian products of this quality abroad. Sincere congratulations.

Clear why this place has 5 stars. There is nothing to complain about. I want to eat sandwiches here every day 😭❤️ They also have tiramisu without alcohol!

An absolute must in Haarlem. Eaten once and you have to have it again and again - a sandwich to dream of.

Very good Italian sub, the bread is sooo good and the ingredients are really fresh. I had the prosciutto (cotto), it was very good. But you need to try the special sandwich on the menu, it is tasteful and unique. Enjoy !

The food is amazing, you taste the quality of the ingredients! Decent price too, and the staff are very kind. It’s busy sometimes, but for a good reason!!

Got a cotto sandwich and a mortadella sandwich, the sandwiches were fresh and the meat was cut per order. It was really delicious, if you are looking for a lunch spot, look no further!

I had the best lasagna ever. Delicious 💯 Friendly staff works there. Next time i will try the breads.

The best sandwich I have had in a long time. I was eating very slowly so that it wouldn’t finish so fast! The bread is soft like cotton, the fillings very well thought. I had the coppa di parma, really nice combination of excellent quality ingredients, an explosion of flavors. The decoration is also beautiful, everything is tiny but smartly designed so that they can host many clients.

This is absolutely my favourite place on Haarlem. I recommend it everytime. The food is simply perfect, the staff is amazing and the place is super cute. I have never had anything there that didnt taste amazing, from the coffee to the pizza, beautifully done.

Amazing food. Amazing staff. And the highlight of my every week. After almost two years coming here, I still can't get enough of their incredible sandwiches, tiramisu, and all the other incredible stuff they have. Could not recommend it any higher!

Finally a good Italian sandwich. <3

Here food makes you happy!! “Copa di Parma” is incredible!

Pure love 🧡 Best Italian sandwich shop I know in The Netherlands. Don’t be scared of a line around noon it’s worth your time

Best sandwiches in the Netherlands, that's it.

Suuuper nice Italian panini with fresh bread and friendly staff. Loved it!

Real Italian lunch place who are baking their own bread to make delicious sandwiches to eat in our take out.

Characteristic Italian place with excellent food and delicious desserts... excellent tiramisu... pizza and sandwiches at the top... and then the town of Harlem is very cute and very picturesque... worth visiting

Popped in here to grab lunch while walking around in Haarlem and had the freshest most delicious caprese sandwich. Everyone was so kind and the atmosphere was wonderful
