D.O.P. - Calgary

Don't go if you're looking for a nice dinner out- So disappointing... I was so excited to try this place after reading reviews and hearing great things. But nothing was amazing. Not that anything was bad... It was good! Just not worth the hype. The ambience was SUPER disappointing. The place was so tiny and the tables were so small, since everything is "family style" they can't even get 4 plates on the table for a table of 4!! Doesn't even make sense. The reservation said there was a dress code, but it was full of people wearing jeans- including the waitress. Our waitress was super nice and helpful.

The food was amazing, everything from start to finish was so fresh, flavourful and immaculately balanced. The pasta was cooked to perfection. Even the bread was stellar. The late night vibe was super cool, but definitely loud and more tailored to a younger crowd, but I'm young so I enjoyed it. Prices are quite reasonable. We'll be back again and again!

Was really looking forward to trying out D.O.P. and it did not disappoint. I had the grilled bread, whipped ricotta, marinated eggplant, meatballs, and raviolo. My favourite of what I had was the meatballs, but everything was fantastic. The service was also excellent. Can't wait to go back to try the veal.

Absolutely amazing! The best food, loved loved loved the vibe and the customer service was outstanding. Definitely going back.

This was our first fist to this restaurant. It was recommended to us by our close family friend. We had a reservation booked prior. The parking for this restaurant is street parking. We had a 5 pm reservation so we didn't have too much trouble. I think if you had a later reservation when it does get busy might need more time. So I recommend you go early. The restaurant is small but they really utilize the space. When it got busy later in our meal it did get a little bit loud and packed. The service was amazing! Our server did a fabulous job and she really took care of us. The food did not come out all at once. not sure if that is because of the table size or maybe the kitchen size. So just so you know our dishes came out one at a time (more of a piece meal). That is a little bit different from what we are used to. So just a a heads up. The appetizers all came together but the mains came out one after the other. I'm going to rate each dish below. Overall the service was top notch and the food was LEGIT!! Grilled Bread - Delicious! Light airy which a nice crust. Served with legit Olive Oil. The Olive Oil was amazing. Whipped Ricotta - We ate with by itself and with the grilled bread. Creamy and fully of flavour. Meat Balls - The house made meat balls were really good. It was well seasoned and the sauce was just Yummy! Green Tomatoes - The texture of it was very surprising and it was a nice add of acidity to our meal. Kids Pasta - My girls loved it and ate the whole thing. No complaints and they accommodated with gluten free due to my child's allergy. Raviolo - This is one giant ravioli! and drenched in a butter sauce. When the cut it it really showed the runny egg yolk. We found the al dante of the pasta was a bit too firm for out liking. The filling with the yolk was rich and delicious. Veal Chop Parm - This was our final dish. It was perfectly seasoned. Not too salty at all and balanced the saltiness with the parmesan. The veal had a really nice crisp and the sauce was simple but delicious.

The people are nice, the vibe is good. The food was just average. The white sardines came in 4 skinny pieces which looked lame. Good thing our server warned us to order some garlic bread. That helped, but still, the bread was mediocre. The best thing of the night was the tiramisu. It was slightly salted which was interesting. Otherwise, everything else was okay. Nothing was bad, yet I don't see myself coming for a second visit.

Always a great experience at D.O.P . Love the food and the atmosphere.

Amazing, lively, intimate place. Had the bread and the ravioli and was not disappointed- definitely a meal heavy with butter, cheese and salt but I love all that so I was pretty pleased with it. The server I had was phenomenal, I had order a gin martini trying out a new gin .. and when I didn’t like the taste of the gin my serve quickly remade me a new one with a different gin.
