Berkeley's finest coffee place with options for sandwiches and pizza.
Do not waste your money on brunch food here. It does not match the menu description. Ordered the salmon and poached egg focaccia, which came out instead on a hamburger slider buns with a comically small salad. This was after waiting 15 minutes in line to order and 25 at the table. The good here is quite expensive for what it is. On the plus side, the coffee is good.
Passione Caffe is the ideal spot for a private party. The three-course meal was authentic and exceptional, and the tapas were just right. If you're considering celebrating a birthday here, don’t hesitate! The venue is fantastic, and the staff is excellent, helpful, and welcoming.
Delicious fresh pasta. The best lasagna I ever tasted. Desert delicioso as well and service is great. They did however ran out of some pastries but that means you just have to arrive early because it is just that good.
We had to stand waiting for a couple minutes to for the cashier to finish chatting up someone he knew before we could place our order. They have the food menu board positioned so you can't see it from where you actually order. The pasta portions are fairly small based on the price. Even with a very limited menu, they still managed to get one of our dishes wrong. Overall, very disappointing, and I won't bother giving them another try.
