About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
Passero is a trattoria-inspired American restaurant located in downtown Arlington Heights. It is the collaboration of Italian-American heritage over many generations and the culinary interpretations of Chef Matt Peota. By sourcing ingredients from the surrounding areas the dishes also reflect the seasonality of the Midwest.

Passero translates to “sparrow” in Italian, and like the sparrow this neighborhood eatery symbolizes joy, creativity and hard work. Passero serves as a reminder that busy hands and minds promote a happy and full life.

    The food selection was great for Mother’s Day brunch. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable. Lucky the weather was good and got to sit out in the patio.

    Attended for Mother’s Day brunch. For the value, things could have been much better. Pasta and salad we’re very good. The other items lacked….Chicken and fish were dry and the desserts were not great. Kids being $35+ was a rip off.

    We did the Mother’s Day brunch. It was absolutely fantastic. Food was excellent. They had offerings for kids. It was really amazing experience from start to finish. We’ve been to Passero a few times and it is always a great experience

    We had an 8:15 reservation for a party of 6. We actually sat down at 8:25pm. We ordered appetizers:,salads, drinks, meals and deserts. We even added the 6pack forthe staff. At 10pm, before we were finished, the lights came on. It was rude and was completely unnecessary. Crystal, the manager, made the dinner even worse. We were all disappointed. Don’t take a reservation if you don’t expect the group to stay. 2 hours.

    Food was great! We were seated outside and it was chilly, so I wish they had an outdoor heater. No biggie though. The only thing was our waiter was very off as in it felt like he had just taken way too much adderall. He was jumpy and all over the place in a way not typical for a waiter.

    The food was very good, however one of our meals was delayed. The manager comped the meal which was much appreciated. The service was a little lax, not our usual experience at this restaurant.

    Meatball app with polenta was good. Charbroiled cap cod oysters were good. Carbonara and bolognese were delicious. A nice pice of fish was great. Chocolate peanut butter pie was excellent.
