Created by Northern Italian born Fabrizio Cercatore, Passione Brands combines deeply rooted Italian culinary traditions with California logic and fresh local organic ingredients. True to authentic Italian culture, Passione invites a modern audience to celebrate food as more than nourishment but as life itself. Art is the creative expression of life and Passione is where flour becomes art.
The products we create are meticulous and innovative. Based in Berkeley, California, Passione Brands features a range of high quality Pizza Dough, Flour, Pasta and Gelato for individual home chefs, retailers and restaurants.
Our products can be tasted at our Emporios in Berkeley and in the San Francisco Bay on Adriana Yacht, can be purchased at various stores, and online on Amazon.
Located at 2324 A Fifth Street in Berkeley, CA, Passione Emporio is bringing a little piece of Italian small-village life to you. Our mission is to create a neighborhood restaurant that has the same feel of community and quality as old village Emporios, and we invite you to come and join us in experiencing it.
Passione Emporio 5th Street offers an array of authentic Italian and locally sourced food and wine, with vegan options, including our signature pasta, pizza, and gelato. Our casual, cozy environment is the perfect gathering place to enjoy easy Italian fare like pizza, panini, salads, and dolci.
All of our menu items are prepared in-house using local organic ingredients, and we proudly showcase our Passione Pizza Dough and Passione Gelato on our menu—also available for purchase at select stores to use in your own dishes at home.
Our rotating wine bar offers a selection of Italian, Californian, and European wines and beers, with Prosecco at the center of the list to accompany Italian salami and cheese plates during happy hour (3-5 pm daily).
We offer event space for parties and receptions with catering, and have our commercial kitchen available for ghost kitchens. Contact us for more information!
