Officina

Officina at The Wharf is a celebrated Italian multi-level dining and drinking destination at 1120 Maine Avenue SW in Washington DC's vibrant Wharf district, with its top-floor Terrazza rooftop drawing direct inspiration from the iconic rooftops of Rome. Created by Michelin-starred chef Nicholas Stefanelli, the venue spans three distinct floors: an artisanal market at street level, a full-scale southern Italian restaurant on the second floor, and the open-air Terrazza rooftop bar above. The indoor-outdoor rooftop features a retractable roof, cosy fire pits, heaters, and bar seating, all framing sweeping views of The Wharf and the Potomac River. The Terrazza menu honours aperitivo culture with handcrafted seasonal cocktails, an extensive champagne selection, Italian beers, and refined small bites, making it an unmissable elevated escape on the DC waterfront.
