Great food, great service and great vibe / atmosphere in the restaurant. It is definitely energetic inside the restaurant, but not so noisy where you cannot have a conversation. We started with the Tonno Crudo (tartare of yellowfin tuna) as an appetizer. Our main courses were Spezzatino d’Agnello (spring lamb braise), Tagliolini alle Cozze (pasta strands with mussels), Gnocchi Spugnole e Fave (house made potato dumplings) and gluten-free pasta with Tuscan style meat ragu sauce. For dessert, we had Budino di Cioccolato (gluten-free flourless chocolate pudding cake) and Coppa di Mascarpone e Mirtilli (blueberry trifle). Everything was outstanding, and the portion sizes were just right. Our server was exceptional. We will definitely be back!

Hello, I recently ordered your dough and I’m just so thankful you are in the Bay Area! I first heard of PASSIONE PIZZA dough from my boyfriend who goes to Whole Foods often and we both tried it! I was able to order the dough online as I’m hours away from Berkeley. I personally have not been to the restaurant but I can only IMAGINE how delicious it is! I love the dough please don’t ever stop making and selling! We appreciate gluten free healthy options with no toxic ingredients oils etc! Thank you thank you thank you! 🤤

The gluten free chicken tetrazzini is quite good!

It's always a good day when you can get some Slivers. The green sauce is of course amazeballs, a must-get every time you buy a pizza. I feel like their prices are reasonable for what you get, and they almost always add in a couple of free extra slices. My favorite is the yukon potato and corn pizza, but the mushroom pizza is a close second. I also love love love the fact that their gluten-free and dairy-free pizzas are the same price as their normal pizzas, you don't see that in other restaurants. Rarely ever a line and when there is it moves very quickly. Service is always fast and easy.

Mely made my birthday experience FUN! She is very outgoing, friendly and even assisted my friend with a gluten allergy. The chef happened to pop out and to let Mely know the " green curry mussels were 86'ed" as in sold out LOL. He was very kind and he even assisted with being super accommodating to my friends Gluten diet. We stayed till close and they let us do pur thing...the food was amazing & drinks we're even better.. Thank you Mely!!!

So yummy! The ricotta, pork chop, and vanilla creme dessert are 👌 Staff is warm and courteous. They have lots of gluten free options (surprising for an Italian restaurant - I know!), and their chef was #1 for gluten free in Italy. I'm eagerly awaiting the gluten free version of their chocolate hazelnut cake 😋 And they're great about social distancing! We called about getting 2 tables 6ft apart so we could see friends who aren't in our bubble for dinner, and they kindly accommodated us.

I ordered Fettuccini with the gluten free pasta option. After salad I was informed they were out of the GF pasta, so I picked a chef salad. The chef salad was delicious, and halfway through they surprised me with the original meal I ordered. They went to a nearby store or restaurant, can’t remember, and got some GF pasta for me! The dish was also delicious! Thank you for going the extra mile!

The pizzas are nice and come in different sizes that you can share. You can build your own pizza adding ingredients to a cheese base. They also offer gluten free options. There is no service at the table. You order at the counter and pick your own table. The atmosphere is very casual.

They have a gluten free "pasta" option that's pretty tasty. Portions are ample with enough for leftovers or sharing. You can also phone ahead for carry-out or pay for a delivery service (Caviar, etc).

Important news flash: they do BRUNCH in addition to incredible dinners. I could write a whole post on how amazing and lovely this is as a date spot for dinner and how much I freaking love their salads and gluten free pizzas (possibly my favorite one in the bay), but this is about brunch. We had no idea they did brunch and when we looked at the menu for it online, it didn’t list any mains. But we went anyway and were blown away. I’m adding a pic of the actual brunch menu so you can see the real selection offered. Y’all, they have a BREAKFAST PIZZA and I promise it’s even better than you would imagine. Do you like breakfast? Do you like pizza? This is a heavenly chimera of two of life’s greatest joys. 👑🔥 Don’t sleep on the brunch! But also the perfect date spot. Get yourself a restaurant that can do both, and support local. The owner was there during our visit and went out of his way to create an excellent experience. Also, the patio is very dog friendly 🐶

Delicious and unique! The pizza al trancio is a cross between pizza and focaccia. It's soft with a crispy bottom, flavored nicely with olive oil, and wonderfully complements the toppings. The supplì (mozzarella-filled tomato risotto croquette similar to arancini) are remarkably flavorful and scrumptious – I could probably make a meal of them! Most items, including panini, have meat and there are numerous vegetarian options. The farinata is a vegan and gluten-free garbanzo bean pancake with olive oil. I wish I lived closer!
