For just 6 euro you are handed a delightful Aperol Spritz (aperol + prosecco) and are welcome to a smorgasbord of tasty dishes. Typically Italians partake in aperitvo before heading out for dinner so you take a plate to accompany your drink and enjoy with friends. It is a most excellent tradition and can vary from being just a handful of crisps, olives and cheese on a plate to what we are treated to at Porta San Pietro. The selection here includes baked potatoes and frankfurts, seafood couscous, salads, cold meats, frittata, pizza, pasta, garlic breads and more. Dinner optional ;)

Our group of 10 had a very lovely evening from start to finish at Passaparola and definitely…read morerecommend you give it a try if you find yourself in Forlì. The restaurant is larger than it looks from the outside so it can cater for large groups and many diners. Despite that, the service you receive is personalised and given the size of the restaurant it is also very efficient. The menu offers fantastic variety but as this was my first time, I was told, "Go the pizza. Amazing dough!" Of course I obliged and was not left wanting. I have created my own pizza favourite, perhaps it should be called 'The Rebola' - it is Caprese con Prosciutto Crudo. So delicious when they smother the pizza base with ripe, juicy tomato, buffalo mozzarella and basilico; and, being so close to Parma, I find ordering any style of pig op top is a guaranteed win. YUM!! My dining companions ordered a range of things including salads, pastas, calzones and pizzas. Everybody had a content grin on their faces by the meal's end. Dessert was ordered by a few. I was a bit scared to after a few over the top cream dishes in Italy but now I have seen what is available at Passaparola, next time I am going to dig in! They were very tasty indeed (and a much more acceptable cream to dessert ratio was observed). My pizza and couple of glasses of vino russo came to a modest 12 euro including cover charge. Highly recommended.

Great suggestion from the Michelin guide, the food is simple and from what I can tell mostly local…read more I will say that they could be more precise with their presentation (the Crudo was cut in uneven sizes and oiled unevenly, making some bites much better than others) but overall the food was great! They also speak English witch is a plus, though I think most people have a very good control of it.

Generally the dishes are good size, tasty and very affordable. Every now and again though, someone in our group gets a dud dish - ie a wet pizza or the rich Gorgonzola gnocchi which would be nice to share but is way too full on to eat with nothing else. The bonus is that when you're done here, you can shuffle next door to the gelateria for a delicious €2 gelato :) Nice atmosphere despite the massive "Vietato fumare" (no smoking) notice painted on the walls that could almost be an art piece if not for the content...
