"This new downtown Officina Cafe is located on the first floor of The Hub (1615 L Street NW), and will cater to returning office workers with take-away coffee and pastries, to-go salads and Roman-style pizza for lunch, and after-work wine and Italian cocktails. The space features a black and white color scheme with golden yellow accents, and offers dishes like tomato and farro salad with whipped ricotta, crostini with burrata and beets, ravioli with ricotta, sweet corn and anchovies, and bavette steak, along with desserts like cannoli, tiramisu, and made-in-house gelato. Officina Cafe will start serving breakfast after the Labor Day holiday, with operational hours from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m." - Adele Chapin

"Stefanelli confirms to Eater that he’s working with partner Carr Properties on the new iteration of Officina. 'It will have a similar look and feel, but it’s also going to have a little more pasta element to it,' says Stefanelli." - Gabe Hiatt

Cute Italian bistro café in downtown DC, stylish, delicious, and delightful. Went just for coffee, ended up having a light lunch after falling in love w their decor. Glad we found this spot.

Me and my family arrive a little bit after breakfast but they were so kind and made some pancakes and breakfast dishes for us. Food is very delicious and the service was outstanding. Highly recommend if you want some really delicious breakfast or Italian food.

The service and food are good. But it is incredibly noisy. If you want to be able to talk to your dining companions, go elsewhere. We were there for a weekday lunch so not even at a time when people were rowdy or drinking.

Lunch sized portion of pasta is $18 and looks like a kid's meal, no joke. Way too small to be filling. Pasta was also overcooked. Woman at hostess stand didn't say anything to me for nearly a full minute while i was waiting to pick up my order, and the first words out of her mouth were "do you have a reservation." would avoid.

I stopped by this afternoon to get a few cannoli. Yesterday I had looked on their website and only saw their cannoli as part of their menu and not their take away counter. I asked the hostess is it was possible to get some cannoli to go ans she said yes! She rang me up at the hostess station and then asked me if I wanted to wait at the bar. They took a bit longer than I thought but since they fill the shells to order they stay crisp longer. I really enjoyed the cannolo I ate and was happy they dipped one side in postal and one side in chocolate so I did t have to choose lol.

Went for happy hour and was quite impressed. Nice cocktails (I was drinking an Alto Spritz), great happy hour menu. Roman style menu was delicious. The polopette sliders and aracını were very good, and the pizza was tasty. Even the simple welcome snack of chips and dip was good. Definitely will be going back.

Incredibly bad hostess, servers, and manager. the most dismissive, rude, and arrogant group of people. Hours later I realized I left my purse. I called and the manager answered to say he was there all day and no purse was turned in. I asked him to look where I was sitting. Nope. Nothing. I stop in because I this point my airpods say it's in the restaurant. I see the manager but he doesn't speak. I say I am here for my purse and it's here because I see it on my Find My Phone app. He doesn't move. I play the sound on my Airpods and find my purpose inside the hostess stand. I look for it and hold up my purse and he doesn't say a word. Worst customer service and reflection of a leader that the team could have. No questions about the reason the servers were so rude.

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Cool atmosphere and patio. Service was a little slow, but I'll put that on the lunch rush. I would definitely return again.
