   Drinks worth it. Food, not so much. Had higher expectations, did not receive what was expected. Who puts green onions and a whole sunny side up egg on their Carbonara? Anyway, the drinks made up for it. The Desserts were good.

   Chef/server made a special drink for me that was amazing- they go out of their way to ensure an excellent dining experience.

   La comida es rica pero el servicio fue MUY deficiente. Había eventos, no Puerto mantener su novel de servicio. Pero más importante, elections un vino y nos dieron otro 4 veces mas barato en el mercado y lo cobraron como el que solicitamos. Finalmente la gerente nos dejó gratis, pero hubo un intento deliberado de cobrarnos mucho más

   If you have allergies, I do not recommend this restaurant. I told our waitress of my allergies, and she assured me that she would tell the chef and ensure I can eat safely. We ordered a cheese and meat board, and she brought an extra meat that we did not order. No one told us there were nuts in this meat, and since I was assured she told the kitchen, I ate the ham, and proceeded to find nuts in the ham. I am deathly allergic, so I immediately stopped eating and had to leave to get Benadryl. We were then told nonchalantly after the fact that nuts were in our food. I expressed that it was not ok. At the end of our meal, we spoke to our waitress saying that I could have been sent to the hospital if I kept eating and allergies need to be taken seriously. She proceeded to then blame ME and expressed how she checked everything and told me there were nuts in the dish (20 minutes after I ate it and had to take a Benadryl). She told me it was MY fault, and sarcastically commented that next time she will "be sure to walk me through the entire menu." Mistakes happen, but their response was extremely rude. It was an expensive dinner that turned into a very unpleasant evening. We will not be back.

   We had high expectations for this restaurant given its reputation (2021 Michelin), but unfortunately, our experience fell short. Upon arrival, we were seated at a two-top table that wobbled so much it made dining uncomfortable. While the staff accommodated our request to move to another table, this was just the start of several disappointments. Our server was friendly but missed several steps in the meal. Bread was offered to other tables but not to ours, and his product knowledge was not up to the standard we expected. Service overall was slow, which added to the frustration. My husband enjoyed his meal, but my veal arrived lukewarm and lacked the quality I anticipated. Adding to the discomfort, another couple seated at our original table experienced similar issues. They had to move tables, received improperly made drinks, and were served cold food. Watching them request to leave and adjust their bill was eye-opening. This experience didn’t match the level of excellence we were expecting from a restaurant of this caliber, and we left feeling underwhelmed.

   None of our dining party felt well after eating at this restaurant. Ambience was wonderful as well as location but leaving and all members of the dining party developing upset stomach and getting sick ruined what was supposed to be a night to celebrate.

    We had high hopes for our experience. I had heard many great things about Officina. I think our experience wasn’t great was due to our server. There was some kind of mix up with who was going to be our server so we were sitting waiting for a long time and when a server finally came they didn’t seem interested in helping us. Food was ok, I’ve honestly had better Italian food. Ambiance was nice. Not sure if I’ll go back.
