Passatempo Taverna

TLDR; amazing food that surpasses any American-Italian joint and sit a lot closer to authentic Italian flavors.nnWe came in on a weekend with reservations, which I recommend for dinner and left very very happy. We ordered the mushroom conchiglie, spicy pepperoni pizza, red pepper bruschetta which was on the specials menu and a tiramisu. Everything was spectacular, although the tiramisu was a bit of a let down.nnPortion sizes are a lot more normal and not the typical American gigantic sizes, but are super filling nonetheless.

This place is amazing. We sat at the bar and were impressed by the level of perfectionism of the bartenders. The food was amazing. Service was excellent. Can’t wait to come back.

Really enjoyed this wonderful addition to the Walla Walla dining scene. The interior space was thoughtfully designed with great natural lighting and a variety of seating arraignments. The outdoor patio caught my eye with its courtyard appearance and vegetative shade. The food was excellent and we look forward to coming back soon. Also, the bartender took great care of us and was very knowledgeable.

Not your boring Italian-American fare. Creative dishes like pin-wheel lasagna are different but delicious. The Caesar dressing is made in house with real sardines. No prefab Sysco salad dressing here. I held off reviewing this place until I had a few visits. Nothing bad to report. Bar tenders are very personable but always seem a bit overworked. Looking forward to my next visit.

The Carbonara was very good. The cream sauce was not too heavy and the bacon was crispy.
