ABOUT OUR ITALIAN FAMILY RESTAURANTS IN VICTORIA
ABOUT ROMEO’S
Dimitri Mavrikos and his two brothers, Steve and George, came to Victoria from Vancouver with the dream of opening their restaurant. They aimed to open a restaurant with excellent food, great service, and a fun, casual atmosphere. They wanted a place that felt like home, so Romeo's was established in the summer of 1974.
Their primary focus was creating signature pizzas and pasta from unique recipes, and techniques passed down to the family for generations. These staples propelled Romeo’s 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 a popular option as our patrons across Victoria respond enthusiastically to our delicious food and consistent service.

THE STORY OF ROMEO’S
Our family restaurant in Victoria, Romeo's, 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 was famous 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 initially. 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 50 years, we have strived to offer our guests authentic Italian cuisine in a welcoming environment. We feel honored to have served our loyal customers for a long time and look forward to continuing to do so for many years.
