Some restaurants outlast trends and quietly become part of a city’s heartbeat. Romeo & Julieta is one of them. An emblem of Solmar Hotels & Resorts and a beloved culinary landmark in Cabo San Lucas, the restaurant is preparing to celebrate 40 years of history with a thoughtful renovation scheduled for completion in 2026, marking a new chapter that builds on its legacy rather than redefining it.
Founded on a deep respect for Italian tradition and hospitality, Romeo & Julieta has spent four decades welcoming generations of families and travelers who turn dining into a cherished ritual. The upcoming renovation reflects this same philosophy, prioritizing continuity over novelty and refinement over excess. Inspired by Verona, the new design will introduce refined architectural details, gentle lighting, improved acoustics, and a more fluid layout to create an immersive, romantic, and timeless atmosphere that feels both authentically Italian and unmistakably Romeo & Julieta.
In the kitchen, the commitment to tradition remains unchanged. It continues to honor the foundations of Italian cuisine, embracing perfectly cooked pastas, thoughtfully crafted sauces, and carefully sourced ingredients, now approached with contemporary precision. The menu will evolve without losing the essence of its iconic signature dishes, those beloved classics that have defined countless celebrations and remain etched in the memories of guests and Solmar Vacation Club members alike.
The 40th anniversary celebration, planned for July 2026, will include a series of special events and a commemorative menu developed in collaboration with guest chefs. Each chef will offer a personal interpretation of what Romeo & Julieta represents, transforming this celebratory milestone into a multi-sensory culinary experience that is elevated, intimate, and executed to the highest standards of quality.
Storytelling will play a central role in this milestone. Through reflections on the restaurant’s origins, evolution, and most memorable moments, the celebration will honor the people and experiences that have shaped its legacy. Solmar Vacation Club members are warmly invited to participate in this collective tribute by sharing memories, photographs, and anecdotes that have made Romeo & Julieta such a meaningful place for them over the years.
More comfortable, refined, and ready to welcome new generations, Romeo & Julieta looks ahead with clarity and purpose. This evolution is not about nostalgia; it represents continuity: a promise to remain the same beloved Italian home it has always been, only better, and to continue inviting guests to “travel to Italy” without ever leaving Los Cabos.
