Fantastic dinner! The food is beautifully presented and very well made - fresh and flavoursome Italian food at its finest. We also had lovely and attentive staff who informed us of pairing great Italian wines with our assortment of our entrees and mains. Such a lovely way to spend a mid-week dinner out. Thank you for a great experience had at Officina. I'll definitely be back. Thank you.

Overall an enjoyable experience and dinner. Service was a little slow and inattentive. What wrecked the evening was 9.30pm the staff started cleaning the restaurant to close (???) advertises as open till 11.30pm, wheeling large bins through the tables and loudly rearranging tables and chairs. Felt we were chased out with not so subtle hints!! Having had a number of dinners and lunches here, would recommend for lunch but wont return for dinner.
