Located at 699 14th Street on the coveted corner of 14th and G Street NW, The Bank Building is situated on the high-profile street in Washington, D.C., just one block away from the White House. The building features 400 feet of wraparound frontage, a neoclassical exterior and newly renovated interiors. From the moment guests enter Olio e Più, it’s evident that they are entering a historic space. The 147-seat restaurant has a series of curved arched ceilings supported by a series of heavy masonry columns topped with distressed wooden capitals. The walls were finished in a combination of aged concrete and subway tiles, accented with Roman bricks. A series of floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the street filled with pots of lush green plants. Inside and out, the space gives visitors the feeling that they have been transported to an Italian countryside villa, just a few short steps from the White House.

As you dine at Olio e Più, you’ll be transported not just by the flavors of Italy but also by the authentic atmosphere that surrounds you. It’s a place where time slows down, and conversations flow freely, just as they do in a true Italian household.
