    Passione is the place to go for authentic Italian home made (gluten-free included) pasta dishes, pizze (wood-burning pizza oven "il forgo de pizze") , pizzaioli, and to-die-for gelato; quaint and charming ambience; friendly, polite, and hospitable staff; and a nice relaxing gathering place for meeting friends and associates either inside or al fresco. Your dining experience is always pleasant and never rushed, and your table server will always check on you, fill your water, and be sure that everything is going well. I have had my EOS (end of semester) pizza parties there for YEARS and they never disappoint even at times when they are taken over with Cal students. Go Bears! We have also held engagement parties, birthday parties, and what-the-hell parties there. It's your go-to!
