Passione review by Foodie
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 simple Italian cooking, full of flavour and displaying the quality of the ingredients. What was experienced was bland and un-distinguished from the Italian fair served by restaurants all over the UK - OK but nothing special - for the prices charged not really OK.
It is not really worth dealing with the courses individually, they were all marked by being undistinguished. On the plus side the services was prompt and attentive and the restaurant itself comfortable and relaxed. The wine list was good.
For the money I would have expected better and have found it in restaurants such as San Carlos in Birmingham and elsewhere.
