Great "pizzeria". Casual upscale atmosphere. Quality food and drinks. Friendly staff and very good service.

Very beautiful and extraordinary location! My companions were extremely happy with the meal. I didn't like the lasagna, however, because it looked like a piece cut out of a whole, which was only heated again in the oven with sauce - hence a star deduction.

Very good location. There really is nothing wrong with it. Absolutely noble restaurant and the best Italian cuisine I know. Competent staff, nice location and the most delicious Italian dishes I know from Essen! I have tested many restaurants in Essen Rüttenscheid and Officina is clearly my first place.

The atmosphere is something completely different but wonderful and informal. Still very, very good cuisine. The meal was a dream from start to finish. The staff is attentive and friendly. We will be back definitely :)

The service couldn't have been better, they were served with a lot of humor. I found the chairs in the upper area not so comfortable. It was also very, very warm up there. My meat was sensational ... the salad bowl looked very nice, but it wasn't easy to eat or cut from it. All in all, of course, a recommendation ...!

A voucher that was unfortunately found after its expiration date was not accepted. Completely customer-unfriendly handling. It can be done better, but not here.

Very nice food, great service. High prices - but justified

Fast and attentive service. The food was very good and the portions were large. Recommendation: The gnocchi with porcini mushroom filling and truffles were a dream.

The equipment and the decoration inside was done very, very nicely. Portion of noodles was very large and sufficient. The service was OK. It took a long time until we were asked whether we want to have a drink ... Outside catering is not so appealing (backyard flair). The food was delicious

A pleasure to eat here every time! The food is delicious and the service is great. I can only recommend.

Super delicious food, top price performance ratio, super nice, fast, uncomplicated service ... nice atmosphere ...

Would be a really great restaurant if the staff were a little friendlier and less arrogant and the prices were more reasonable. Food is quite good but not outstanding and the ambience is nice but - s. O.. I've been there a few times now because I live right around the corner, but I don't really get warm with this shop. You have to like Bredeneyer snobbery.

Very dissatisfied, we went on our recommendation, it had rained a few times that day. After we arrived, two waiters walked past us without saying a word, without greeting us or assigning us a table. An older waiter then told us in a very rude tone that nothing would be free inside and that if it would rain again outside, that would be our bad luck. So really very rude, like you don't need guests at all. We were disappointed and then left before we sat down.

Great ambience, whether inside or outside. Very nice staff and great selection of Italian dishes. The best thing is that there is a small ice cream truck with sorbet ice cream. A great concept and an amazing location. The only small disadvantage is the search for a parking space. Otherwise perfectly happy.

This is my favourite place in Essen. The food is delicious. During summer you can eat outside in the terrace and in winter the restaurant inside is really cozy. Totally recommendable

More expensive than the usual pizzeria, but way better!

Officina is an authentic Italian restaurant. I had gnocchi with pesto genovese. The gnocchi and the pesto were home made and very fresh. The portion was large and the staff super friendly and patient. Moreover I had a glass white wine which was a little pricy but okay.

The restaurant had a nice garden where you can have dinner. The food is good but not extraordinary.

We were for a trade fair in Essen and then spontaneously in the evening "Officina". (Had lunch at noon) Super delicious food, we were very excited! We will definitely be back at the next trade fair visit. Small note, the risotto rice was unfortunately still a bit hard, but the rest was mega and tasted everything convinced.
