ABOUT OUR ITALIAN FAMILY RESTAURANTS IN VICTORIA
Dimitri Mavrikos and his two brothers, Steve and George, came to Victoria from Vancouver with the dream of opening their restaurant. Their goal was to open a restaurant that not only offers excellent food but great service and a fun casual atmosphere as well. They wanted a place that felt like home, and so in the summer of 1974, Romeo's was established.
Their primary focus was on creating signature pizzas and pasta from unique recipes and techniques that had been passed down to the family for generations. It was these staples that propelled Romeo’s to popularity and helped create a passionate local following throughout Victoria.
The menus included a variety of popular local dishes, such as steaks, chicken, veal, burgers, and salads, as well as many original dishes from their homeland, Greece. Over the years, our chefs have updated and improved all our dishes based on our customers’ feedback while keeping the original ethos of fabulous flavour and comfort food at the core. Delivery and takeout have proved to be an extremely popular option as our patrons across Victoria respond enthusiastically to our delicious food and consistent service.

THE STORY OF ROMEO’S
Our family restaurant Romeo's first opened on Hillside Avenue and was warmly embraced by the people of Victoria. It was an instant success, and very shortly after, we opened a second location downtown on Johnson Street. This location proved to be popular for lunch and dinner and is still remembered fondly for the fun-filled late-night meals and crowds. In the years that followed, the Mavrikos brothers branched out and opened more locations on Vancouver Island by adhering to the same philosophy that had brought them success in the beginning. With the help of their growing young families and new franchisees Nick & Chris Kamaretsos, the company has grown into what it is today. Over the past 49 years, we have strived to offer our guests authentic Italian cuisine in a welcoming environment. We feel honoured to have served our loyal customers for such a long time and look forward to continuing to do so for many years to come.
