About the restaurant
While co-founders Elia Sebregondi and Enzo Mirto clocked up experience around a few different London restaurants in the kitchen and on front-of-house respectively before opening, their Neapolitan heritage is the biggest influence on Officina 00’s pasta and small plates.
The restaurant is one of a few on the new developments near the Old Street roundabout with floor-to-ceiling windows that let plenty of light in. The venue plays host to the dining room and features a cookery school where punters can learn how to make pasta from scratch.
Like restaurants Burro e Salvia, Flour & Grape, Padella and a few others, Officina 00 is all about complementing a core range of knockout pasta dishes with a few starters, sides and a couple of main-style dishes. Pappardelle with pork and meatballs is excellent, as is the house pork sausage, while the burrata is always popular.

Critic reviews
The Nudge
From Borough Market’s Padella, to Mayfair’s 10 Heddon St, to Soho’s Lina Stores, it seems to be everywhere. And now an important gap has been filled in Shoreditch, thanks to Officina 00.
The Infatuation
This handmade pasta spot near Old Street roundabout feels like it was dropped from the sky, fully-formed and full of regulars, by some kind of higher intelligence, one that has a great deal of respect for linguine.
Time Out
Truffle niggles aside, Officina 00 is a buzzy, welcoming spot for some classy carb-loading.
