The food was wonderful and the service was fantastic!
What a disappointment! We were looking for a new Italian restaurant close to home. I can’t believe this place gets 4.8 out of 5 stars. Food was mediocre, at best. Cocktails are outrageously priced and just barely drinkable. Atmosphere is generic. On the upside, waitress was very friendly, but minimally attentive. It’s not her fault and I still gave her a good tip solely for a positive attitude. Thing that set me off the most was they added a 2.5% processing fee to pay...read full review

Passero is an excellent restaurant offering a variety of high-quality food and beverage options. Guests often highlight the Pollo Al Forno with mashed potatoes and the Loretta's Chopped Salad with roasted salmon as standout dishes. The patio provides a lovely dining experience with attentive service, although some diners have noted that food can be rushed during busy times. However, on quieter evenings, the food has been described as spectacular.
The menu features the must-try Truffle Sacchetti, a delightful blend of Italian pear, mascarpone black truffle cream, toasted pistachio, aged balsamic, and Parmigiano Reggiano. The chicken parmesan is a safe bet, often outstanding, while the veal dish is a favorite that makes occasional returns. Guests have also enjoyed large portions of dishes like cheesy bread and gnocchi.
Passero is a gem for those who enjoy excellent food and service in the suburbs, where finding such quality can be a challenge. The staff's kindness, especially towards families, has earned the restaurant appreciation from loyal customers. The return of a lost cherished ring and thoughtful gestures towards young guests have made dining experiences memorable.
