As an authentic trattoria, its cuisine is based on classic Italian dishes, with a focus on house-made pasta, hand-stretched pizza, and entrees like Branzino and Steak Fiorentina. The open dining area, traditional wood-fired oven, rustic interior, thin-crust Neapolitan-style pizza, and carefully selected wine and cocktail list bring a piece of old-world Italy to Washington D.C.

Our concepts are intricate and intentional. As we grow in New York City, we are also growing across the US! We are proud to have invested in the city over the past 10+ years and are looking forward to creating future spaces that embody our passion for timeless tradition.

Our new Olio e Piu in Washington, D.C. embodies the same authentic atmosphere as our renowned NYC location, while also integrating into its vibrant new community.
