Officina at The Wharf

Great food, drinks, and view on the rooftop bar. I had the meatballs, branzino, and lemon drop, both mock and alcohol infused. The only downfall, not of the restaurant's doing, was the over the top price for parking in the garage.

Disappointing evening. While the restaurant itself was attractive, the acoustics were terrible. We frequently misunderstood or did not hear what our waiter said as it was very noisy even though the space was only about a third full. We practically had to shout across the table to be heard.
Sone of the food was fairly bland (the bread) & sometimes close to tasteless (the burrata). The portions were child sized. My tagliatelle was supposed to have two kinds of meat in the sauce, I honestly could find no meat at all. Just the occasional flavor of meat.
The service was rather slow & frequently disorganized. They seemed to need to translate what was said to each other.

Because of the good reviews and the location - we chose this restaurant. Unfortunately, it turned out as a big disappointment. The service was okay. The waiter seemed to be in a bad mood and was not charming at all. The biggest disappointment was the food. The portions are really small (as you can see in the picture/24$) and all three of us agreed: it was tasteless. In my opinion, the only great thing was the Prosecco which was fantastic! All over: I would not recommend the restaurant.

The prices are too high for what you get. I am sorry to write this but I hope that the restaurant will improve.

Baaad choice with this restaurant. We we're wondering why all restaurants are busy and this was almost empty. Our server looks like he's high on something. Slow. He gave us the wrong info about the time between brunch and diner. He said till 4. And was till 3. Instead of taking care customer he was having a good time and chatting with almost sleeping employees behind the bar. Drinks was terrible. Espresso martiny was sooo sweet and strong. And it looks like a shot instead of a drink. Beer was flat and tasted bad. We didn't get bread like others. Food wasn't bad, but calamary what we ordered wasn't crispy. Bu chewi and very siesoning and salty. Dip sause was terrible. Chicken wasn't that bad, but mine was cold. And for 32$, it should be at least a little warm. Picture below. Other food was ok. Anyway. For the price we paid we didn't get service quality and food quality. Terrible service. Food is below average. Definitely not recommended. Next time, we would rather wait in line to different restaurants.

I have 933 contributions on Google. This is my first one star review. The experience was THAT bad.

To start, we’ve had a reservation for over a week. Arrived to wait over 45 minutes for a table. We were promised a table, only to have it given to another group that looked older/wealthier that came in later than us. Take what you will from that. We were then told it would be another 15-20 min.

Once we were finally seated, it took ANOTHER 15 min before we were even given water, let alone our order taken. I called to make sure their 1/2 off pasta Wednesday I’ve read so much about was occurring before coming. Was then informed after ALL our waiting that it has ended.

The food was such - disappointment. The portions were so small, we had to get additional food on the way home. Let alone, it not being great and super expensive for the size.

You would think they would try to make up this terrible experience…. They did nothing. I cannot recommend enough going to a different restaurant on the wharf. I live a 10 min walk away and have gone to almost all restaurants. Literally ANYWHERE else is better. If you want a nice Italian spot, go to Osteria Morini I’m Navy Yard where I had the best spaghetti of my life and it’s just as pretty instead.

Do not waste your time or money here. You will leave hungry. You will leave disappointed.

We came for the half off pasta night on Wednesday and for the price it's honestly not bad! We had a res for 4 people and they seated us inside. There is an offer for a 1/2 carafe for $26 as well. It may be even better to try and go Wednesdays from 5-7pm to get both the half off pasta dishes and happy hour drink prices.

I got the bucatini which was in a tomato sauce with pancetta and pecorino. It was pretty good and the portion was good. It was enough to finish in one sitting when full price the portion would be a little bigger.

Overall it was good, but I think only worth it on Wednesdays when it's half off. I'd say 3/5 for food but service was good and it's in a great location at the wharf. Food came out pretty quick and waiters kept coming by to refill our waters.

Officina at the Wharf is a nice place to dine if you want to have a relatively higher end dining experience. We were sat at terrace which was very nice as it was close to water. Staff were quite friendly. We went there on Wednesday when they have certain menu items for half price. 3 out of 5 people including myself were quite happy with the food and taste👌. The size of the dish may seem small at the first glance but after eating I understood that the portion was just right. Drink on the other hand were a bit pricy. Overall great experience.
