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.

    We were a table of 6 sitting outside. The service was friendly and attentive enough but the music was a bit loud for us. One of our orders was missing a side dish order but the price was quickly adjusted. The food was a bit patchy. The pastas were great but the calamari was pretty ordinary (straight from a frozen bag?) and the salads were disappointing and not as good as DOC in Mornington. Overall it was a pleasant but not fabulous meal out.

    Food was below average. Bland and unseasoned. Cost was very high for what was below average food. Serving staff were friendly and efficient.

    Great food and the staff were lovely. Unfortunately there were extremely obnoxious customers at other tables that were very drunk, breaking dishes and yelling throughout our meal. It unfortunately really detracted from our meal as we couldn’t even hear each other talk over them. Truely disappointing, as the food was fantastic, but it ruined our birthday celebration. I recommend earlier dining as we ate at 8pm which may have resulted in more rowdy clientele. However, the staff should have stepped in and asked them to leave instead of serving them more drinks.

    Astounding. Spoiled ourselves with a range of dishes and they were all incredibly delicious. The service was also wonderful. Food also came pretty quickly for a packed restaurant. Highly recommend. Cant wait to come back!
