Nicholas Stefanelli, the chef and owner of Michelin-starred Masseria and Officina, will debut an entirely new restaurant concept in DC's Midtown Center in late October of 2021. Paying homage to his Greek heritage, Philotimo, a word that defies translation, will be an exploration of the country’s rich and unique flavors, ingredients and culinary history. Philotimo’s menu will shed light on the valued traditions and global reach of Greece, taking a road less traveled to introduce guests to the country’s culinary diversity.
