http://www.london-eating.co.uk/22755.htm Passione Readers Reviews - London Eating en-gb Copyright: (C) London Eating I took my friend here for a brithday lunch as I had heard the pasta was the best in town. I have to say I was extremely disappointed. The starter special was field mushrooms that tasted like they were tinned. However the mozarella starter was wonderful, the only decent thing we ate. The main courses of basically spag bol (beef ragu) and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm I took my mother here recently and was really disappointed with the food bearing in mind the price. Starters were okay but then they were just salads but the monk fish I had was tasteless and rubbery and didn't reflect the £25 price tag. Mums pasta main was at a streach okay. Service was fab and attentive and the atmosphere pleasant. I ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm I was surprised to read all the negative reviews of Passione. I went a month or two ago and loved it. The food was delicious, the service perfect - the waiting staff were warm and attentive without hovering, and clearly knew what they were talking about. They must have thought I was a little odd because I sat there grinning, I was enjoying ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm we tried this restaurant because of Gennaro. What a ripoff! Lousy food and very expensive. Trout starter was very basic. A few lumps of Trout on Rocket salad - big deal. 'Gamberoni' was tasteless and without spices and sent back. The Lamb with cheese was worse and a mush. Gennaro get in your kitchen and kick ass!. My emails to them gone ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm We visited this delightful restaurant on Saturday last and it was lovely. The staff were very attentative but not fussy. The food was superb in quality & taste, and the choice of wines excellent and well priced. Don't go if you are looking for a bog standard Italian restaurant because this one is far from it and a bit special. http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm I have very much enjoyed Gennaro's appearances on the television, and with the recipes from his Passione cook book I have tried at home, and so was looking forward to visiting his restaurant with some anticipation. I am sorry to say that it was a real dissapointment. Following a holiday earlier this year in Sicily I was anticipating good ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm We visited Passione mid week for an early dinner (7.30) It was a little empty when we arrived but soon filled up. The restaurant was nice with good basic decor. The cherry tomatoes on their vines were moorish and we managed to polish them off. We felt the menu was a little limited with not a great choice offered. The bread was superb and fresh ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm Despite the comments of many other reviewers I had an excellent meal last night. Whilst I agree the prices are a bit steep the dishes we had were excellent and I had no problem with the end bill. We were fairly early but had not booked so were taken ( rather ominously at first ) around the side of the main entrance and up to the 1st floor ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm Went to passione with reasonably high expectations. The restaurant itself is small white (newlyish decorated). The tables are well layed out with nice cloths. The clairs though are cheap and stiff. There was no ambience inside the restaurant. It could really benfit from some soft music. For starters I had the artichoke and mint salad with ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm Went with great company - which helped. Food was okay, not fantastic. My starter of smoked eel was very nice, but the monkfish was messy and way too much. Thought all the courses came out very (too?) quick. Staff wasn't great. They assumed the men would taste the wines when actually our hostess picked and ordered. Service was unattentive and ... http://www.london-eating.co.uk/1716.htm
