It was lovely to experience this authentic Italian restaurant Passioni. Actually run by Italians. They put on a wonderful buffet for our party. Of traditional Italian foods. It was great to be in such a place. I felt I was back in Verona for a while there. Thank you.

Highly recommended this unique Italian spot has beautiful decor while you sit & dine. Service is very relaxed & attention to detail is provided with each customer. Dishes have a high quality taste Inside is immaculate I recommend the latte really gives you that Italian aroma vibe plus the quality. Great spot for meeting up and local welcome as you enter every time.

Only came in for a coffee, service was pleasant and quick. Tea was excellent served in good quality cups. Desert choice however was poor but this was a late sunday afternoon. I will go back to try the food.

- The staff are friendly and professional, and certainly made the experience very restaurant-y - Serving sizes initially seemed small but the food was very filling and tasted very much like quality dishes rather than the fast food I'm used to. I had the arrabiata pasta and the tomato sauce was of superb quality. - The fried potatoes side are also well cooked - I ordered the tiramisu for dessert and it was among the best I've had. It wasn't soggy, but had a moist flavour to it. Very enjoyable. - I ordered the 'garibaldi' drink. It was good- not the type of cocktail I prefer but definitely to the tastes of some. It had perhaps too much orange juice but that's a matter of personal preference. - The atmosphere was good, and enabled an enjoyable meal. Once again, the staff were very good and timely with coming to take our orders which is greatly appreciated. The chocolate cigars at the end are a nice touch. - The table felt a little small- not enough so to ruin the experience, however as a group of four who ordered water for the table etc it did sometimes feel cramped. - A group of four of us spent 116 total, or around 29 per person. A drink, dessert and main course for this money seems reasonable at a restaurant, especially given the recent rise in food prices. All in all, good food and service. If you're in the area certainly worth checking out, as the food is filling and of high quality, as well as well-priced. The decore is good, and there are largely no major downside to this fine establishment. 10/10 would recommend.

Easily of the best meals I’ve had in London - and Italy! We had a very warm welcome here for dinner and they really went above and beyond for us. Every dish we ordered was incredible, particularly the Gorgonzola gnocchi and truffle tortelloni. Pasta was freshly made and really high quality. Desserts were delicious too, as was the wine. I’ll be returning here in a heartbeat - would definitely recommend!!

I didn't dine here. I enjoyed an ice cold Peroni Nastro Azzurro (vegan) as I had half an hour to kill. I'll be back for sure. What a lovely little treasure trove of all things Italian. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff (owner), warm and cosy interior, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated ...

Italian new restaurant in Market Place! Went yesterday night for a proper Italian aperitivo (Aperol Spritz and cheese/charcuterie platter), followed by authentic fresh tortelloni pasta with truffle and a taste of pinsa (roman pizza very crispy and light!!). Friendly staff, stylish place and cosy ambience.....highly recommended!
