Passione Caffe - Berkeley

Very elegant. Huge interior with many chairs, couches and bar area. Not too loud, just talking to others. Easy to drink. A little pricy, but it's worth it.

Delicious fresh pasta. The best lasagna I ever tasted. Desert delicioso as well and service is great. They did however ran out of some pastries but that means you just have to arrive early because it is just that good.

Berkeley's finest coffee place with options for sandwiches and pizza.

We ordered salmon poached eggs focaccia . They were out of focaccia, so instead they used tiny slider buns. The amount of food was tiny for an expensive dish (15$ . So small that they actually cut the egg edges and put them underneath. I would give a lower rating, but I used to like this place other times.

Do not waste your money on brunch food here. It does not match the menu description. Ordered the salmon and poached egg focaccia, which came out instead on a hamburger slider buns with a comically small salad. This was after waiting 15 minutes in line to order and 25 at the table. The good here is quite expensive for what it is. On the plus side, the coffee is good.
