When I went to the washroom and came back, my napkin had been folded! Such a small detail, but it meant so much to me.

A kind of thing that they do a lot is essentially teaching us Italian cuisine and culture through small notes, visuals on the walls, and explaining the dishes.

Everything we ate was phenomenal; already dreaming about ordering the grilled bread with ricotta and the raviolo again.

DoPo was excellent! I can easily say it was the best Gnocchi I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious!

Great local-owned spot. Staff and food were equally great. Not just another chain, a real, unique, high-quality restaurant.

Been here a couple of times, always a good experience. Food tastes great, fast service. My husband and I sat at the bar the last time we dined here and had a few chats with our bartender/server, Christian. Friendly staff! Will be back.

A fantastic experience, we were engaged earlier in the day and they made the whole experience extra special. Thanks very much DOPO team!

The food was phenomenal, our whole table went silent because everything was just so good. Highly recommend trying the grilled bread and whipped ricotta. And make sure to leave room for dessert, the tiramisu will not disappoint.
