-The Story of Romero -

Let us take you on a journey back in time. The year is 1921, and the
Emirate of Transjordan had just been established as a new state.

A young doctor by the name of Fausto Tesio made a long journey from
his hometown to establish the Italian Hospital in the heart of the new
city near the ancient Roman Amphitheatre. Throughout the years to
follow, Dr. Tesio dedicated his life to the people of Jordan, serving them
with a big heart, kind words, and sincere empathy.

Deeply inspired by her father’s great passion for Jordan, Flavia Romero
took her Italian roots and planted them in Amman by establishing
Romero Restaurant in 1979. With the passing of every year, Flavia
continued to add pieces of her culture to the restaurant, which grew to
become a haven for Mediterranean cuisine in Jordan.

In 1988, the legacy created by Romero was handed over to Mr. Zaid
Goussouss, whose passion and love for �ine cuisine continues to drive his
inspiration today. Goussouss extended Romero’s legacy by growing the
menu of homemade Italian recipes to include �lavors from each of the
country’s provinces.

In doing so, Goussouss had successfully maintained a small piece of Italy

in the heart of our beloved Amman with its enchanting ambience and
indulging cuisine.

Our journey goes on as we aspire to continue creating the perfect

Mediterranean dish for all our visitors. Be part of our legacy, and let
your senses enjoy the experience ...
