The pasta at DOC was delicious, especially the gnocchi. The bread that comes with each dish is great for cleaning up the leftover sauce. The service was very friendly and efficient, and took care to let us share easily. We sat outside as the weather was nice and the heat lamps were very warm (probably unnecessary during the early evening but definitely appreciated as the night went on). The table was a little small for sharing though.

Great atmosphere & amazing food. I ordered the black linguini & I was impressed. The bread on the other hand was just alright, wasn’t too impressed with it. But the pasta was absolute amazing. We also ordered the mix olives, and they were great too. It’s good to munch on a little olives before the pasta arrives. Tho I should mention, if you’re not a huge fan of seafood, black linguini wouldn’t be a good option for you.

On one of the busiest eating streets in Melbourne, DOC Espresso serves up delicious Italian food. Lygon Street is famous for its Italian eateries, and DOC easily keeps up with the rest. This place is always packed, proving it's popularity.

We recently dined in on a rainy weekend night. We were seated outside, as it was extremely busy; but it wasn't a problem as there was plenty of protection, and outdoor heaters nearby. In fact, the soft rain added to the lovely atmosphere.

Service was impeccable and attentive, with our drinks being topped up regularly. We couldn't resist their famous pasta, which was so good. The mushroom ravioli was divine, and the pork rigatoni special was also amazing. The pasta was perfectly al dente, and both sauces were full of flavour. We also had a delicious farro salad with a squid ink tuille and the textures of this were sublime.

There is very good reason why DOC is so popular. With it's Italian flavours and lovely staff, this venue has a cosy atmosphere that just makes you feel so welcome.

Lovely selection of pasta and each dish we ordered tasted delicious! Service was friendly and efficient. My favourite dish was the gnocchi which was soft and pillowy and paired beautifully with the onion cream sauce and mushrooms.

Fantastic service—I was seated and looked after within minutes. The pappardelle were cooked al dente just how I like it. The porcini mushrooms were bursting with flavour and paired beautifully with the Pinot Grigio. Thank you for a lovely dinner.

Amazing service. Food came out quick. Best pasta ive eaten. The pappardelle was to die for. The truffle mushrooms were cooked really well. So much flavour. The carbonara pasta was also really good.

Like the other reviews food is great here. Pasta is fresh and very well cooked. Recommend the pappardelle and the tiramisu for dessert. Delicious! Also my experience with the waitresses was great, unlike some of the negative reviews about the wait staff I see here. Attentive and friendly, no complaints! Worth checking out for sure if you’re craving pasta on Lygon St.

Fresh seasonal pasta dishes. The menu changes fairly frequently, so be prepared to have a change every so often. The pasta is always fresh and perfectly cooked, with both complex and more simple ingredients on offer, for personal taste. The wine menu is excellent, with a range of bottles to suit the dishes. The service is a always excellent.

Interesting pasta combinations! Zucchini cream with crab and porcini pasta. Both were amazing! Just staff was not so friendly? Didn’t look at us when they were serving us and when we order. And also look annoyed cos of that time was busy? But except that all good!

My favourite Italian restaurant when I crave for pasta! I particularly love their spaghetti pomodoro and lasagna. They serve super good breakfast too, I highly recommend trying their ricotta with fruits toast and tuna scrambled eggs focaccia bread. So so good!

A great menu of lovely lunch dishes with a changing superb daily pasta. Could have more local wines, rather than inflicting the carbon footprint of importing wines from Europe. But still lovely food, wine and service. We currently only eat outside and this is well catered for here.

A slice of Italy in the heart of Carlton. Friendly staff, excellent pasta and a great wine list. Food tastes awesome and really served in a traditional Italian way! Highly recommended but be aware that it's a really busy place due to the top quality of food served.
