What does Emporio mean? It’s market where you can get a variety of things you need. Today in small villages in Italy, the Emporio is the center of life. Villagers visit the Emporio daily to socialize, share local happenings, and get their local fresh goods, cheese, pasta, sandwiches, and bread. Passione is bringing a little piece of Italian small village life to you, here in Berkley. Our mission at Passione Emporio is to create a neighborhood restaurant that has the same feel of community and quality as old village Emporios. We source only the best local ingredients and craft them with traditional Italian recipes to make delicious food, with vegan options, along with an authentic array of Italian and locally sourced food and wine.Our rotating wine bar offers a selection of Italian, Californian and European wines and beers with Prosecco at the center of the list to accompany Italian salami and cheese plates during happy hour.

    Excellent food, turned around quickly by the busy kitchen, service very friendly - despite pressure due to seating backup (apparently because earlier seatings upstairs weren’t turning over, or too many reservations accepted). We took seats at the bar counter; others settled for heated outdoor tables despite the less-than-favorable weather.

    It was a cold, rainy and raw evening so entering Via del Corso was a welcoming relief to the harsh external conditions. The enthusiastic and genuine smile of the hostess instantly made me forget about the weather. Claudia, my waiter, was exceptional: Thoughtful, attentive, very knowledgeable of the wine list & menu and responsive. I ordered the Lattuga (Little Gem) salad, Ravioli Stuffed with Braised Oxtail and paired it with a bottle of 2019 Brunello Montalcino, a perfectly structured Brunello. I finished dinner with the delicious Budino Di Cioccolato, which paired nicely with my Brunello. After such an exquisite dinner, I bravely faced the rain and high winds as I waited for my Uber. Verdict: Don’t let bad weather stop you from enjoying a wonderful dinner at your favorite restaurants in the EB. Make that reservation; call your Uber or Lyft; and enjoy yourselves while supporting our fine restaurants.
