Passione review by Simon Barrett
Bland yet pretentious; the biscotti with coffee were the highlight for me, and the only authentic bit. I presume the idea is to do a refined 'spin' on traditional Italian cuisine to justify their absurd prices (and to tempt the jaded palate?) but I didn't finish anything and three days later have difficulty recalling what I had; ok - pasta with shredded duck (a mistake; expect not to see this on future menus!) and some wrapped up white meat tasting of nothing very much to which ginger contributed a jarring note amid the general insipidness. On my companion's serviceable boiled fish and saute potatoes there is even less to say (what can you say about boiled fish and potatoes?) and the panna cotta was rubbery; though drizzled with a perfectly ok berry coulis, blackberry and apple pie would have been preferable! The price? Oy veh!
