I was skeptical about the margarita, but it was delish and just the right level of sweetness! I knew the goat cheese would be tasty based off of the reviews, and it was. I ordered the spaghetti with meatball off of the happy hour menu, while my mom ordered a tasty mushroom and ricotta dish off of the dinner menu. We were both incredibly happy with our choices. Mine was the perfect size with even a bit leftover to take for lunch the next day. My mom had a ton leftover after being completely sated. They even brought me a hefty piece of lovely tiramisu with a candle for my birthday. The real star, though, was the chocolate cake my mom ordered. Yum! The atmosphere is lovely and open but a bit loud due to how busy it was even early in the evening on a Wednesday. I strongly recommend a reservation. And our server was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend and will definitely be back!

It always seems that the "meal" aspect is fine - good taste, nice thick sauce. But the accompanying pasta? The sauce is more water than anything else. Literally see-through. All I can figure is that they keep the pasta in water, then when the meal is served, they plop the pasta on the plate and then add some sauce. Think I'll try somewhere else next time.

The dinner salad is quite tasty and they always have two types of soup, if you prefer soup. We had Tiramisu and cannoli for desert and they are both tasty and light. I so recommend this restaurant.

This gave me the chance to try their sauce and meatballs, but already knew I'd get my "go to" ... Pizza the sauce and meatballs were amazing! I changed my mind and got spaghetti and meatballs for my order! I ordered a half, because now I was full from eating so much of there appetizers! Good thing, cause even the half wads a big serving. This is a must try place! So good! Service and atmosphere were great too! Oh, and we learned why they had the seating under the tent in the parking lot... this place had a line out the door by the time we were leaving and all the tent tables were full!

Dominick's real Italian is not that real or great…read more The first red flag we ignored was we called before going to the restaurant and asked how long the wait would be. They said 50 minutes, and added us to the waitlist, this was at 5:40. We got seated a little after seven (almost 1.5 wait). Then we got seated. The garlic knots were brought out and tasted pretty doughy but good. They kinda remind me of the garlic knots you can get out of the freezer section at your local walmart. No bad things to say about the bruschetta. Two of my friends got the Caesar salad, which they enjoyed. My other friend and I got the garden salad, which was fine. My last friend got the minestrone and it was adequate. Then the most unfortunate part of the night was our entrees. Two of my friends got the penne vodka, it had no taste and reminded me of cardboard when I tried it. They both rated it a generous 4/10. To pay almost $30 for that meal was diabolical. My other two friends got the lasagna and to put it nicely, they think the Stouffer's frozen lasagna could beat it out. They also rated it a very kind and delicate 4/10. Lastly, I got the chicken saltimboca. It tasted like boiled salty chicken with canned minced garlic you'd keep in your fridge piled on top. Not sure my breath will ever smell good again. Instead of Marinara sauce I got vodka sauce on my pasta and I guess you could say no taste is better than a bad one? Disappointed in my meal to say the least. Very overpriced Italian food that I could make at home for a fraction of the price. Would not recommend.

From the first bite, my palate came alive - layered with the delicate fragrance of fresh herbs, florals, and something even rarer: genuine care from both the chef and the staff. Every dish felt intentional, like it was crafted, not just prepared. Passagio strikes an elegant balance between traditional Italian roots and the bold, sun-kissed soul of a Sonoran trattoria. It's the kind of place where flavors don't just sit on your tongue, they move, evolve, and stay with you long after the meal is over. If you're searching for a refined, intimate escape; perfect for two (or a small group that truly appreciates the experience)...Passagio deserves a top spot on your "go-to" list. Returning will not be a pleasure, but a must. 100% worth your time. Bravo to Chef and the team. The bar scene is absolutely epic and the vibe is absolutely different.

I usually love dining at the restaurants at Starr Pass. This experience was not the greatest…read moreconsidering the price and atmosphere. We were seated outside on the patio. We arrived when it was still daylight out and over 75 degrees outside. The hostess who sat us immediately started lighting the heater next to us. When I asked her not to because it was almost 80 degrees outside she told me the other table requested it. She didn't offer to move us away from the heater when all other tables on the patio were open (there were only two parties outside, including us). It was strange and also very warm for us. We ordered the meatballs as an appetizer and when I say they were some of the smallest meatballs I ever saw, I'm not exaggerating. Imagine the bagged meatballs you buy from the grocery store when making crock pot bbq meatballs- that was the size and it comes with 3. Definitely not worth the price. But the flavors were good. I also ordered the chicken parm and it was delicious. The portion was also generous and made up for the meatballs. I was very happy with that dish. Finally, I ended with a slice of tiramisu which was also very yummy. When we finished our desserts, we waited over a half hour for the waiter to come back with the bill, but he never did. One of us went inside to ask for the bill and the hostess told us our waiter would be right there. The waiter did show up again but only to take two orders (there were two other tables seated at this time, which made us the third table outside now). He didn't acknowledge our table or say he'd be right back with the check. We even tried to get his attention, but he hurried back inside quickly without acknowledging us. All of us got up and walked to the hostess for our bill and we still had to wait a few more minutes for the waiter to show up with it. There was no acknowledgment of the wait for our bill and nothing was done to make sure everything was good with us. It was treated as if we were still sitting at the table and everything was fine. It was a strange experience for how nice the restaurant appears. Although the food had great flavor, I would not recommend. I would have given it more stars of the service was better.
