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.

We had high hopes for our experience. I had heard many great things about Officina. I think our experience wasn’t great was due to our server. There was some kind of mix up with who was going to be our server so we were sitting waiting for a long time and when a server finally came they didn’t seem interested in helping us. Food was ok, I’ve honestly had better Italian food. Ambiance was nice. Not sure if I’ll go back.

This was a wonderful surprise and is why we like OpenTable. We were searching for a last-minute place to eat and went to OpenTable right away. It is always a great way to try a new restaurant without feeling like you are throwing darts at a board. Offcina did not disappoint. The service was excellent, and the food was fresh and delicious. We were here the day after Christmas, so it was a light night for them, but the staff was attentive and provided the service you would expect at any top-notch restaurant. The Michelin rating is well deserved. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

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.
