Best sandwitches in Haarlem, hands down. I love Jamon Jamon, I really do...but I tend to cut the roof of my mouth with their bread. Romeos on the other hand... you could use this bread as the most magnificent pillow you've ever experienced. Its perfectly fluffy, soft on the inside, with a a very gentle crunch on the outside. I cannot believe I haven't left a review yet. I feel horrible. They are a staple of my life in the Netherlands and I am so grateful with wonderful family has blessed Haarlem with their amazing sandwitches. Pro tip: Try the Coppa de Parma with Prosciutto instead of the coppa de parma as the meat. It's hard to go back after trying that sandwitch. 😍
Oh also all of this, for such an incredible price. I'm shocked every time when I order 3 sandwitches and barely pay over 20 euros. I don't know how they do it but I cant recommend them enough.
Oh, pro tip #2: The inside is usually quite crowded because they are always busy at lunch time, but you can always order to go and then walk somewhere sunny along the water to eat. That's my boyfriend and I's favorite thing to do on a Wednesday afternoon on a...
Read moreThis 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...
Read moreNice 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...
