In the early 1980\u2019s, there were only a few eating establishments. Luis Bulness, one of the pioneers of the area and developer of such projects as Solmar and Playa Grande Resorts, brought Raffaelle Di Maio to Cabo San Lucas to open two restaurants, one being Romeo &amp; Julieta. \u00a0He started with traditional Italian dishes, experimenting to determine what the public wanted in Italian fare. Through the years, and especially since the arrival of Executive Chef Matias Forte, new dishes have been introduced, while maintaining respect for the timeworn dishes that diners have come to expect.<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<style type='text\/css'>\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\r\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\r\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\r\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\r\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t<!-- see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php -->\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-10392 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium gallery1'><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\/\/ <![CDATA[\r\n\tjQuery(document).ready(function () {\r\n\t\tjQuery(\".gallery1 a\").attr(\"rel\",\"gallery1\");\t\r\n\t\tjQuery('a[rel=\"gallery1\"]').colorbox({maxWidth:\"95%\", maxHeight:\"95%\",title: function(){ return jQuery(this).children().attr(\"alt\"); }, });\r\n\t});\r\n\/\/ ]]>\r\n<\/script>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-cabo-30-anniversary-2016-3936.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-cabo-30-anniversary-2016-3936-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon\">\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-cabo-30-anniversary-2016-2278.jpg\" title=\"\" rel=\"gallery1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-cabo-30-anniversary-2016-2278-300x200.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\r\n<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Guests for this special event were directed into one of the several dining areas where floral arrangements and candles added to the elegant atmosphere.

Long red carpets outlined the runway for models to parade high fashion designer clothes by Miss R Boutique.

A toast of Prosecco was made to Felix Lopez who has served the restaurant well for thirty years in many capacities and currently is captain of Romeo &amp; Julieta, and to bartender Gustavo Enriguez for his 27 years\u2019 service. A gift was presented to Francisco \u201cPaco\u201d Bulness, son of founder, Luis Bulness, and now owner and C.E.O. of the Solmar Group. The guest chefs were introduced who participated in the gourmet dinner. Chef Matias Forte gave a warm welcome. He and his staff did all the planning and execution of the event. Music throughout the evening was performed by Luciano Pavan on his electric violin and classical guitar by Roberto Fiallo. The event ended with a beautiful display of fireworks. Upon leaving, each guest was presented with a wine goblet etched with the restaurant\u2019s logo and date of this memorable celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-10393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2-184x184.jpg 184w, https:\/\/www.loscabosguide.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/romeo-julieta-ristorante-cabo-30th-7803-2.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>Romeo &amp; Julieta has become a cornerstone of Cabo\u2019s dining scene and remains progressive in planning for the future.
