D.O.C Review

The pleasingly inventive menu at this new 24-seat nook follows traditional Italian-style dining—antipasti (appetizer) followed by primi (first course), followed by secondi (second course) and then served with cheese and desserts. Choose a la carte from any or all of those courses, but don't miss the meaty yet subtle sardines with refreshing green onion, and delectably light homemade papardelle with artichokes and cream. Diners, including hipster neighborhood locals and curious couples from across Portland, enter through the compact kitchen run by culinary notables Greg Perrault (of the critically acclaimed Tasting Room in New York City) and sous chef Melissa Pelletier (formerly of Fife in Portland). Let the wine maestro, Austin Bridges, surprise you with a spot-on selection from his passionately compiled all-Italian wine list.
