D.O.C. is by far my favorite Italian restaurant in NYC! 100% authentic deliciousness from Sardinia, the most amazing island in the Mediterranean Sea. I have been to this place a billion times and tried every dish on the menu, and I have to say, there is absolutely nothing there that is not perfectly executed, everything is simply mind blowing. The malloreddus are obviously their specialty, they're rich, hearty, sumptuous, una meraviglia! I also recommend trying their pappardelle alla bolognese, the fregola (another specialty from Sardinia), the octopus and the branzino. Besides the incredible food, D.O.C. has also the best service in town, extremely kind, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant is beautiful, perfect for a romantic date or a nice, informal dinner with friends. Go to the backroom to admire paintings and decor inspired by the gorgeous, typical architectural style of the island. Veramente un posto incredibile. Siete bravissimi!!!

D.O.C. Wine Bar is a very delicious, authentic Italian restaurant. There are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. They do take reservations and are very busy on the weekends. However, we were able to put our names in on Saturday night and got seated within 20 minutes. They have more outdoor seating then they do indoor. I definitely recommend eating at D.O.C. Wine Bar.

Love this place, very cozy, romantic and simply delicious. But their pistachio pasta, meatballs and tiramisu absolutely phenomenal! Also they have very interesting restroom. Keep in mind they take only cash or Amex. So far this is my favorite place in Williamsburg!

Always great food and experience! If you had no idea what orange wine is-try it! If you want to try reeeeeally good deserts -try it! Panna cotta is to die for! I don’t eat meat, but my friends sweared that’s the best meatballs they ever tried. They also have vegetarian version of them , which would be a good choice as well. I cannot stressed enough how important to get their pistachio pasta !!))) I promise that’s be the best pasta you’ve ever had and , possibly, would ever have ))) We, actually, came back last time only because of that pasta) Actually, everything that we’ve ever ordered there was insanely good Plus, the service is terrific. Add an amazing atmosphere and a lot of Italian talks around , and you’ll understand why I gave it five stars) Enjoy!!

Stopped here last minute for a bite to eat and drinks with my partner. We sat at the bar — which only had 4 seats total. The restaurant itself it quite large — a whole back room in addition to the front of the restaurant. Maybe because the bar only had 4 people total, but I felt very unattended to service wise: I had to be vocal to say “we’d like another drink, we need the check, etc”. Do not recommend the espresso martini - basically had a load of coffee grounds poured on top. The Caesar salad was my favorite thing we ordered. Octopus was meh — the burrata had a lot of meat. Would stop back for just a glass of wine.

The pasta here is so dang tasty. I added all that parm in my photos because I’m a sicko. Also the reason my pictures have a blue tint - they turn on the clubbing lights at like 8 in the back. Fun vibe!

This place was decent. Pasta was well prepared and very delightful. The servers were able to give us informative suggestions on what to eat. The bread was the best thing I've had in a long time. It was so light and tasteful (we ordered 2 and an order to go)!!! The olives were over-rated and would pass on next time.

Unexpectedly good Italian ristorante. You know is legit, when the chefs and waiters speak Italian and you see in the menu Pesto di Pistachio which you know is native Sicilian and is only done in small paesini in the magical island. Star with Mascarpone + Pistachio Pesto over warm crostini. Amazing spaghetti alle vongole, perfectly al dente full of flavor and cavatelli with house-ragú. Great wine selection, favoring local vineyards and brands. Definitely a most in the Williamsburg streets around Bedford Avenue. Perfect for a date night. Follow @destination_food33 for more reviews

This has been my favorite restaurant in NYC, and I’ve been coming here a few times a year since 2012. I’ve always loved the atmosphere, the food, and most of all, the heavenly tiramisu. However, over the past two years, I’ve noticed some subtle but concerning changes. Today, July 18, 2025, was likely my last visit. After 13 years filled with great memories here, the quality of the food has completely deteriorated. I’m not sure if there’s been a change in ownership or a new kitchen crew, but the excellence this place once had is long gone. Burrata with cherry tomatoes was uninspiring and bland. I don’t want to list all the dishes we had. Most disappointingly, the tiramisu which used to be truly exceptional and highlight of our every meal here now tastes like something store bought. With quality going down, it’s hard to justify coming back. Honestly, I’d be surprised if this place manages to stay open another year. I’m genuinely heartbroken. I loved coming here, and it’s sad to see that the good times and the great food have come to an end. The prices no longer reflect the quality, and it seems like corners are being cut.
