User:Valoem/Passione (restaurant)

Passione was an Italian restaurant at 10 Charlotte Street, in the Fitzrovia district of London, between 1999 and March 2009. It gave its name to an Italian cookbook written by Gennaro Contaldo, a co-owner of the restaurant. Both featured a cooking style reflective of the Amalfi Coast, Contaldo's birthplace and with a focus on the best seasonal ingredients.

Passione was awarded 'Best Italian Restaurant 2005' by the Tio Pepe Restaurant Awards. The book won 'Gourmand World Cookbook - Best Italian Cuisine Book 2003.'
