My friend had her wedding reception there. The food was delicious and the customer service was excellent. The private room had a gorgeous view and so did the lobby area. Decor was really pretty. Parking in the lot nearby is $30 for more than 2 hours. But that's to be expected. Overall great experience

APPETIZERS: Fritto Misto $18 Crispy Calamari. Shrimp. Broccoli. Red Onion. Cherry peppers. Oregano. Saffron. *good variety, wish the shrimp didn't have the shell on it, didn't really taste any saffron just yellow mustard Choice of Formaggi, Salumi & Crostini, pick 3 for $23 accompanied by homemade Giardiniera, jam and grilled Casareccio Sourdough. Parmigiano Reggiano - 4 tiny pieces Prosciutto di Parma - 3 slices Spicy Soppressata - 5 slices *overall pretty small portion, jam was pretty thick and gooey no idea what it was perhaps figs, homemade giardiniera was flavorless, would not get this again PASTA: Spaghetti al Limone $27 Spaghetti alla Chitarra. Prawn. Bottarga. Lemon. *spaghetti alla chitarra is like a two sided spaghetti almost like a linguine noodle but not as thick, prawns were like baby shrimp and inconsistently sized which I found very bizarre and there wasn't a bowl provided for the shells, so since this pasta was served in a bowl I had to work around the shells, also it was not wiped it was presented splattered which surprised me because I can't even tell you the last time I was presented food in that manner Orrechiette $25 Hand Rolled Pasta. Fennel Sausage. Broccoli Rabe. Pecorino. *pasta had a nice chew, negligible amount of sausage and I really mean little baby bits, the entire dish lacked seasoning, if there was more sausage then it would've added the right amount of salt but because there was so little of it, I'd suggest asking for salt, pepper and their pantry DESSERT: Tiramisu $9 Coffee Soaked Sponge. Marsala Mascarpone. Cocoa *presentation was pretty, flavor did not match, the mascarpone was dense and not fluffy or creamy and barely any sponge, this was not sweet or even semi-sweet, don't recommend SERVICE: It was ok.

We were given the best seat in the house. The food was delicious but the deserts are what made it memorable. Very cool vibe and ambiance. Highly recommend for date night :)

The restaurant was a very nice setting, but beyond that we weren’t thrilled. The portions were very small, and almost everything left a taste of fennel in your mouth (probably because the bread served at the table had fennel in it and it’s a tough taste to get rid of beyond that). My dad finished his dish in 2 seconds (ravioli stuffed with braised lamb), and I would definitely say don’t come here if you have an appetite. Our service was okay. A few of the waiters that came by randomly were great, but we only saw our “main” waiter a couple times — and the manager actually ended up taking our order for us. Not a huge deal, but keep in mind the bill tact’s on an automatic 23% gratuity to your bill …. Which was a $52 tip in our case (a little much if you ask me), 23% is for exceptional service and our service was less than good. Also, to reserve a table you have to put down $15 per person when making a reservation. So this was $60 for us. Again, not a huge deal but this restaurant isn’t worth that — I’d rather find one that doesn’t charge a fee to reserve a table…. Overall, it was fine …. But we won’t be back.

In addition to waiting 1/2 hour for dessert, it was disgusting

Officina had restaurant week last week.

Are there any vegan options at all here edit: okay instead of "yes", it would be helpful to provide specifics. I've looked at the menu multiple times and don't see anything. TIA.

Yes. They have gluten free and vegan options but menu is ever changing, so you have to specifically ask for the Gf/vegan version of what you want. From my experience dining there, at least any pasta plate has a Gf version.
