Passero

Passero is a trattoria-inspired Italian-American restaurant featuring seasonal dishes that blend Italian-American heritage with Chef Matt Peota's modern take. The kitchen sources ingredients from the surrounding region, so the menu reflects Midwest seasonality and feels both familiar and fresh.

What they serve: Pasta, salads, shareable appetizers, and entrees with an Italian-American bent. Expect house-made meatballs, burrata, and creative starters alongside classic and updated pasta preparations.

Popular dishes: General Tso's tempura cauliflower; prime beef meatballs; burrata and heirloom tomato caprese; Loretta's chopped salad; rigatoni vodka; spaghetti and meatballs; bucatini carbonara; ragu Napoletana; shrimp alfredo. The pasta list is a strong suit for date night or a group dinner.
