4.5 * - Lovely quiet restaurant, wonderful service, beautiful presentation, amazing atmosphere, good prices with above average food. We loved Passatore! Thought it was an excellent restaurant on beautiful quiet street, small and intimate setting with a wrap around balcony. While the food is good and overall delicious, most of our dishes was often not well balanced hiding some of the simpler (but complex) flavours in their dishes. The burrata was amazing, the stracciatella and cream was a delightful texture but it was overwhelmed by balsamic. The ceviche was good but over lemoned covering the taste of the fish. The mushroom ravioli was nice but the butter sauce lacked the umani flavour making it monotonous. But having said all that, what I describe above are the small missing details. We still had a wonderful evening with great surroundings and fantastic staff.

A great place to have a really nice dinner, golf cart ride there and back, the best. Fabulous dinner, always go when on the island. Definitely worth the money. Fine dinning in paradise.

Went to Ristorante Passatore for my wife's 50th birthday. Our group of 4 thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our visit from the delicious food to top notch service. An excellent break and treat from the resort food at a reasonable price. Will definitely be returning here during our next visit to Puerto Plata. I highly recommend you try it!

This is a very classy restaurant without being stuffy or pretentious. Service was subtle and attentive. The food (my guest and I both had pasta dishes -- bolognese and langostino) was very good. The chef clearly wants to get very good product out of the kitchen. An overwhelming success in my view.

One of the best Italian restaurants I’ve ever been to. On par with the best of New York. Everything about it is fabulous including the atmosphere, service and of course food. Excellent wine list too.

Excellent food and event better service. Pleasantly surprised and had such a great experience because everyone was so accommodating and happy to serve 🫶🏽

Absolutely great food and great environment. Great service. Top restaurant in DR. Everything is the real deal.

Great restaurant in Playa Dorada nearby resorts. We decided to eat out of our all inclusive resort one night and picked this restaurant. We were very satisfied with the quality of the food. Pasta are al dente and served very hot. Portions are generous and service is great. We highly recommend this restaurant

This place is fantastic. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the fillet steak and it was honestly better then places like Ruth Chris in the US (be warned in the DR, medium is US medium well). My sone had the Ribeye and said the same thing. The service was excellent. We came here twice even though we were in an all inclusive just because the food was that good. Highlight of our trip.

Very tasty Italian food. My wife and I had an amazing meal here. Plenty of warm, cozy vibes in this place. Service is a little slow, but well worth the wait.

Best steak i ate in my life!!!! The entire meal was unremarkable !

A better dining experience than most of the places I've been to in Canada. The food was masterful, the service was amazing. I had one of the salads which was a meal in itself- char grilled octopus with sweet cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and creamy chickpea hummus with anchovies for umami. He had salmon fillet cooked to a perfect temperature. If you're looking for a classy night out and you're not worried about the cheque then this is the place to go!

Best restaurant east Puerto Plata has to offer! Everything was delicious and will definitely be coming back. Very happy to have tried it early in our trip!

We certainly missed this place while it was closed! So happy now that it’s reopened! Get the antipasto with polenta as an appetizer! Quite honestly, any entrée is scrumptious!

Really beautiful restaurant. The carrot soup is delicious, and the pana cotta absolutely beautiful. Atmosphere here is superb . The one piece for me was the entree , not my favorite part of the meal . The other parts , I highly recommend.

Totally a 5 star experience! From the menu to the dessert. Service was excellent and prices reasonable for what we enjoyed. The lobster was grilled to perfection and the side pasta was the perfect add for the grilled shrimp. Try the apple crisp cake! With gratuity and taxes $$$.

Great Italian food with excellent service. This is one of the jewels you shouldn't miss. I'm so surprised and overwhelmed to find it unexpected here in Playa Dorada. Try it out on your own and let the magic coming.

With the steak tartare it was a bit to much advocado, half of the amount of advocado would be better. And with the pasta monte y mare there where only 5 shrimps, could have been a bit more. But overall the food was good.

Where to start.. we LOVE Passatore. We had our wedding reception here and all of our 23 guests have been raving about this restaurant since! The food is absolutely amazing. I’ve travelled to Italy and this restaurant out does any restaurant in Italy. From their fresh made pasta to their in house made bread we could not find one fault in any dish. Perfectly seasoned, beautifully plated and so very delicious. We ate here 3 times in the 7 days we were in the Dominican! If anything could be better then the food, it would be the staff. Every single staff member made us feel like royalty. From the moment we walked up to the restaurant to the moment we left we were treated beautifully. The chef came by to ask how our meal was and the rest of the staff is so attentive we never had an empty glass! The restaurant was a 3 minute walk (if that) from our resort too! Made eating at the resort hard because we knew Passatore was so close! For any Brides getting married on resort in the Playa Dorada complex. Please message Passatore about having your wedding reception here! Trust me, your guests will thank you for the amazing food and atmosphere Passatore provides. The planning process with the Owners was a breeze. It was easier to plan our wedding reception than our ceremony with the resort! Ondina & Matthias are beautiful people who care so deeply. We can not wait to come back to Playa Dorada. We’ve been home less than a week and have been missing the food & staff at Passatore since the day we left. We wish Canada was much much closer to the DR! Thank you Passatore! For the most beautiful and delicious wedding reception & dinners anyone could ask for!
