Passione - Garden City

The food was pretty good. The interior was immaculate. A little expensive. I don't like pasta coming with dishes. If I hadn't asked that I had eaten my Shrimp Scampi on a bed of salad, which isn't my thing.

Needed a place for a 60th Birthday party . The price was very affordable and the space for 50 people was perfect . We had our own private room which was so nice . The food is excellent , delicious and fresh, but the service was exceptional . I can’t say enough, the staff was very attentive and friendly and flexible . I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a party and or just wants a nice place to have lunch or dinner . It’s a hidden gem in a small shopping center parking is great and very convenient . I was so happy with my choice I recommend Passione to everyone looking for a great place to have a nice Italian dinner with great cocktails also !!!!!!

So many dishes to pick from! I tried two dishes that were “A+” Authentic classy dining experience plus next time I’ll sit outside for that cozy ambiance! Fast servers, hot plates, and the hostess Linda is a gem!

I went to Passione for dinner and was seated almost immediately. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. After we got settled in, our waiter brought us an assortment of fresh, warm bread, which was a nice touch. I ordered the Veal Parmigiano, and it was absolutely delicious. The veal was tender, and the spaghetti was cooked perfectly. Although the specialty martini seemed promising, I opted for the mango martini, which turned out to be quite good. Throughout the evening, I enjoyed the music that was playing; it wasn't too loud, so I could easily hold a conversation. Overall, I had a wonderful evening and would definitely return to Passione.

The food was delicious—definitely not authentic Italian, but more like New York grandma style. The meatballs are a must-try at any Italian restaurant I visit, and I have to say, these are among the best I've had. My mother-in-law didn’t even have any complaints about her dish. The prices are a bit steep given the level of service, which was decent but didn’t quite match the cost. I noticed the owners were around, and while they quickly seated people during the dinner rush, they didn’t rush us out at closing time. The busboys here really work hard and deserve recognition; they were quiet (not clattering dishes) and efficient. I’ll definitely come back to try the veal parmigiana that seems to be a specialty here. I hope the food is served hotter next time, and that the service is more polished. Also, the wine list was missing, and the top-shelf options were just average.
