Get ready to say goodbye to Passion8, Luca and Jessica Annunziata’s Elizabeth Avenue restaurant, and say ciao to Luca/A Modern Italian Kitchen, a reset they hope will bring them back toward the food they started out to make when they got to Charlotte 12 years ago. “It’s kind of been a long time coming,” she said after sending out a restaurant newsletter Wednesday to announce the change, which has been talked about in restaurant circles for several months.

The new menu, taking full effect in the next few weeks (some of it has already been changing), will bring things like more small plates, a late-night cocktail and bar food menu, a more reasonably priced menu, hand-made pastas and some traditional classics.
