Officina [oh · fee · she · nah], or “workshop,” is an Italian-inspired culinary collective from Chef Nicholas Stefanelli of Michelin-star Masseria, Philotimo, and the newly opened Le Clou. Officina seeks to bring the very best of Italian gastronomy to Washington, D.C., and is an ode to Stefanelli’s travels, training, and distinctly Italian-American upbringing.

We look forward to welcoming you for unique experiences that capture the essence of Italy. From sunset cocktails atop our Terrazza or a weekday lunch in our Cafe.

    The food was good. Overpriced for what it is but it was tasty. We did not enjoy the lack of flexibility from the restaurant regarding our order. We had to order everything we wanted for the table at the same time. The pace of our dinner was dictated by the chef and servers. This is not our preference when we want to enjoy our time trying multiple food items, wine and cocktails. The restaurant was largely empty on a Saturday evening at 7:30pm making this strict requirement to order all at once even more ridiculous.

    The place is very nice, but the food is average and the wait staff was at our table every few minutes trying to rush us to order, then later tried to clear all of our plates even though not everyone was done eating yet!! Felt totally rushed and it ruined the meal.

    We went early because we had a show after dinner. So it might get a little loud when it's busy, i wouldn't know. But the service was great and the food was awesome. I will definitely go back if I'm ever in DC again. We had the Lioni burrata, so creamy. The chicken liver crositni, so smooth. The veal ravioli and tortellone aragosta, both great. My teenager had pasta with just butter and parmesan and it was also great. That's simple but it's still easy to mess it up.

    Loved the restaurant and service. However my ravioli was undercooked so it felt like cardboard in my mouth. My husband’s bolognese was uninspired and tasteless. Overpriced and unappetizing

    The food was decent. I was expecting so much more because of the reviews and location. I had the lobster tortellini and it came with 5 or 6 medium size tortelloni and nothing else. That was disappointing. The fritto misto wasn’t very tasty and their drinks were bitter. We picked this place for the rooftop view at sunset but there really isn’t a view of much other than more of the wharf and bridge. Service wasn’t the best for a slow Saturday night. There were only 3-4 tables seated when we got there. It wasn’t horrible but I wouldn’t go back again or recommend.
