Last week's election, in which Grillo's 5-Star Movement won a huge protest vote, left no group with a working majority in parliament, making an alliance with a rival the only way out.
On RAI state television late on Sunday, Bersani underlined his opposition to two of the options floated - another technocrat government like the outgoing one led by Mario Monti or a coalition with Silvio Berlusconi's center-right.
That would leave only one possibility to avoid elections - Grillo's backing for the center-left, which won the lower house in the election but does not have enough support in the Senate.
"Now (Grillo) must say what he wants, otherwise we all go home, including him," Bersani said.
