DOC Espresso

Delicious lasagna and we also had the special of the day - lamb gnocchi.
Fluffy and melts in your mouth gnocchi and the sauce was amazing. Would definitely go again!

Some staff were quite unfriendly and they messed up most of our order. Nothing outstanding about the food or coffee though I like the 2 diff outdoor seating areas which make it easy to find some sunshine

Great place For a quick lunch just like italy (Carlton) nice food good wine list and beverages great coffee, little bit expensive for a caffe

A bit of authentic Italy inside Little Italy! One of the best lasagna I ever eaten, and trust me: I tried many! Kind service and perfect spot for people watching. Stop by if you are strolling around.

A pumping place with really authentic Italian food and a great choice of wine. Really good friendly service, and quick too given how busy this place can be.

The pasta is generally good but the staff are uptight frustrated bohemian types. Disgusting small stuffy toilets also.

Good quality food nice busy environment, sitting outside with the heater is a treat but some of the staff are under the impression they are doing the customer a favour.

Great service, friendly, always crowded. Great pastas, focaccias are pretty standard. The pizzas at the other place are rippa.

Extraordinary service from DOC Espresso. The staff who hosted us were superb! The coffee was great too! Had a fantastic experience there.

Was made to feel very unwelcome here this evening. My brother and I had to leave as soon as we were seated as the waiter was rude toward my brother simply because he was carrying a water bottle, which he has to have with him for health reasons. Even if the waiter was joking, he took it too far. We will not return, neither will any of our family and friends. There are plenty of other great restaurants close by who won't make their customers feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

Went last week for dinner. The food was good but what a terrible service! Our waiter was so rude that he even threw our cutlery to the table. Very disrespectful. I felt like he didn’t even want to be there. Not our fault as customers though. Not recommended because of the staff

Host is rude and unprofessional. Doesn't care about customers; only getting people in and out as fast as possible to maximize profit.

Food was good but the manager was so rude. He spoke to other staff members in Italian about us, not realising that we could understand. All we wanted was for our two groups to sit next to each, as the restaurant was empty. He would not allow this unless we paid $45.00 a head for a set menu All about the money and not food and service.

Yummy pizza, great produce and atmosphere. Service a little hit and miss, but forgiven as they’re crazy busy all the time

The food makes you feel like you are away on beautiful Italian street. Thank you Doc for my medicine the pasta was out of this world fresh and tasty

Vegan/vegetarian, no options to go with the starter drinks. You might have something like olives, nuts or crisps for these customers.

Highly recommend! Wonderful food, great relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, we had carbonara.and the mushroom pasta. Very satisfied.the wines we ordered came with a complimentary starter share plates. Very good service. Inside was warm n cosy with a real relaxed Italian vibe. Bellissimo!

Great location, beautiful coffee, lovely micro brews and delicious meat and cheese. Great place for an afternoon wander or to start to an excellent evening.

The coffee is great and staff is professional.
Fantastic atmosphere in side, you will feel sheltered from the busy Lygon street.

It's a great spot for an afternoon coffee and catch up with friends. I sometimes go there for work related meetings. It's not noisy like some other cafe near by. It's a more mature crowd.

Fabulous Italian food and great staff! I have recently come home after travelling in Italy and this is the most authentic pizza and pasta I have found in Melbourne since!
