Passione

Passione Vino, located in the heart of Shoreditch, is a vibrant and unconventional Italian wine bar, shop, and dining space founded by Luca Dusi, a charismatic Veronese wine expert. Since opening in 2003, it has become a beloved destination for wine lovers seeking boutique Italian labels and immersive culinary experiences.

The venue is a kaleidoscope of quirky, interconnected rooms—linked by creaky staircases and narrow corridors—each offering a different ambiance for tasting, dining, or simply soaking in the atmosphere. The interiors are bold and theatrical, reflecting Luca’s flamboyant personality and passion for storytelling through wine.

More than just a wine bar, Passione Vino hosts “Il Circo di Passione Vino”, a rotating series of events that blend food, wine, and spectacle. These include chef takeovers, seasonal feasts, and masterclasses, often featuring boundary-pushing Italian chefs and rare wines. Luca’s deep roots in Italian winemaking and his commitment to showcasing the diversity of Italy’s wine regions make Passione Vino a standout in London’s food and drink scene—a place where every visit feels like a new act in an ever-evolving performance.
