    Very enjoyable lunch. Pizzas were delicious - light, fresh, very tasty. The salad with a honey dressing was divine. Great service, casual outing.

    We had a fantastic experience at DOC in St Kilda! From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed — a big shout-out to Daniele at the door, who was incredibly kind, helpful, and full of good energy. He really set the tone for the evening. The food was excellent. We started with some beautifully balanced pasta dishes — fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The pizza was just how it should be: crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with high-quality ingredients. A real highlight was the rib-eye steak with the Chianti reduction — it was rich, juicy, and full of flavor. Every bite melted in the mouth, and the wine sauce complemented it perfectly. To finish, we shared the tiramisù, and my girlfriend couldn’t stop smiling — she said it was one of the best she’s ever had! Overall, the service was outstanding, the staff attentive and genuinely caring. You can tell they love what they do and want you to have a great time. We’ll definitely be back!

    Wonderful evening. The service was fantastic, the food was served at an even pace so we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. The seating was comfortable and even with a full restaurant and sitting on a table of 10 people we could hear each other speak. My only criticism would be the choice of music playing, it didn't quite fit the ambience of the restaurant. Great experience, we will definitely be back, especially for special family occasions. Thank you

    Made a last minute booking for 2. Sat outside for pizzas and drinks. Great experience from start to finish: staff super friendly and attentive (particular mention to the Italian girl from Lake Garda who was serving tables outside). We ordered amaretto sours and the drinks were excellent! So were the pizzas: very quick to make and delicious! (I got a Margherita while my partner chose boscaiola). Will definitely come back

    Loved coming here for my birthday - the pork ragu was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had! SO good. Tiramisu to finish off the meal was 10/10 also. Friendly staff, lovely ambience/decor as well. Will be back!

    Amazing!! The service was so good and we got our food incredibly fast and it was all incredible! The best pizza I’ve ever had but it was all lovely from the calamari to that fabulous focassia with their home made butter! You have to check this place out if you’re in Melbourne and surrounds!
