"There will come a day, not far from now, when you’ll find yourself in Shoreditch. You might be hungry, tired, alone, in a group, or full of commuter rage, and in that moment, we want you to remember this: go to Officina 00. It’s been a minute since a restaurant that’s this useful, affordable, and tasty has opened in London. You can come here with a big group and share some squid ink tagliolini, brown butter pumpkin gnocchi, and some raviolo over negronis. You can come here with a date and say some endearing crap about how the dark green tiling brings out the colour in their eyes whilst eating a braised pork genovese with occhi that has the potential to make it into your memoir. Or you can walk in alone, sit at the counter, and pretend the man carefully feeding pappardelle through a hand-cranked pasta machine is your own personal chef. Basically, Officina 00 is a restaurant that’s got your back." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver
