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. Don’t forget to try their delicious spicy olive oil with the pizza. It remains a hidden gem worth visiting.
