D.O.C is real Italian eating and age old simplicity refreshed with contemporary flair. A celebration of heritage. A joy in sharing. Authentic, exuberant and outrageously Italian.

    Great food and service. A little spot of Italia in Melbourne. A little noisy but otherwise was great.

    Outstanding! Great service by the wait staff. With regards to the food, I’ve been to some of the Lygon St Italian restaurants, but DOC Osteria is on a different level. The food is just sublime.

    Dined at D.O.C Osteria Carlton with girlfriends for our annual Christmas dinner and it was 10/10. The vibe, ambience and most importantly food were 🤌 We shared some pastas including the Linguine Marinara, Fettuccine ai funghi and gnocchi and they were all delicious.
