    Quaint neighborhood Italian restaurant. Very romantic and intimate setting with great Italian options...but we went on a Sunday night. I had the chestnut gnocchi and it was the doughy amazingness I wanted in to be as well as the perfect per portion. Good selection of wines as well. Ill be back to try brunch one of these days. Bravo!

    This gem is always wonderful. The food is really fresh and homemade and it is unique -- some of the risottos I have eaten here I have never seen on a menu anywhere else. The wine selection is wonderful and the owners definitely know how to take care of customers.

    Passatempo is a wonderful little hidden gem in the heart of Williamsburg. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the food is so good we ordered our favorite dishes twice! We highly recommend ordering whatever the special of the day is and the lobster pasta! We spent about 3 1/2 hours there enjoying the delicious food and wine with friends. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cooking and hospitality.

    Had brunch here on a Saturday morning. While it was good, their menu could use more variety - esp on weekends. It's a really cute spot, but would opt for something with more options.

    Good for coffee, brunch, lunch or dinner; yet, it has the feel of a neighborhood gem - decor, friendly service, and style of food.
