Passatempo Taverna

This excellent Italian spot is a Walla Walla staple, and the patio in particular is a big reason why. It’s very serene in the summertime, with an abundance of bamboo and fancy outdoor furniture that make other restaurants’ sidewalk sets look dinky in comparison. Split everything, including margherita pies, eggy carbonara, rigatoni bolognese, and mandatory rounds of fluffy focaccia saturated in olive oil. Afterward, head a few blocks down to Karaoke Palace, where you can drink hard seltzers and belt pop songs among the bachelorette parties and off-duty winemaker hangs.
