About Passione Emporio on 5th

Passione Emporio on 5th is a charming Italian restaurant with a moderately quiet and elegant atmosphere. The menu is brief but offers a nice variety, including standout dishes like creamy pork-and-chicken tagliatelle, guanchiale ravioli, and Jovan Pizza. Their service is exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff. The restaurant features a changing menu along with regular offerings, and their pasta dishes with clams or mussels are highly praised. The ricotta-spinach calzone cooked in a brick oven is also a favorite. The caesar salad is crispy and served with slices of anchovies and perfectly crisped garlic croutons. The cozy setting has a neighborhood feel, making it a welcoming spot for both meals and a scoop of gelato. Guests appreciate the quick service, good food, and accommodating staff, who are happy to adjust seating preferences. The restaurant also offers a variety of deals during happy hour, including slices of pizza with interesting toppings like pears, which surprisingly blend well thanks to the noticeable dough ferment and oven temperature. The spicy olive oil served with the pizza is highly recommended. Many visitors have enjoyed sharing salads and pasta, and some have praised the gluten-free crust options at no extra cost. The food is consistently excellent, with nice presentation and adequate portions. Overall, Passione Emporio remains a hidden gem worth visiting.

The staff was friendly, quick, and accommodating and the food, drinks, and desserts were delicious! I highly recommend Passione Caffè to those looking for a quick and yummy lunch (or breakfast/brunch everyday), to snack and study, or for an authentic Italian coffee. Don’t miss out on the great happy hour/aperativo deals between 4-7PM! It almost goes...read full review
