D.O.C. Wine Bar, Brooklyn NY

Maybe it wasn't their day, but I can't recommend this restaurant for lunch on weekends. Although we were hoping to have pasta, the restaurant was only serving their brunch menu at the time (Sunday 1 pm). I ended up choosing the only vegetarian option on the menu, which was the Goat cheese frittata, while my wife ordered the meatball burger. Although the food was okay, it wasn't anything spectacular. The restaurant was mostly empty except for one other table, and the service was attentive and tried to make us feel comfortable. However, I found the interior of the restaurant to be old and lacking attention to detail, despite having a "rustic" feel. Additionally, the Latin music playlist didn't really contribute to the Italian atmosphere. Overall, this restaurant is not somewhere I would choose to return to.

DOC is fantastic! Their appetizers are all good, particularly the pistachio ricotta cheese. My partner and I got two pastas for main, the special that night with pork cheek and truffle cream and the other was shrimp and a homemade pesto. The pasta was delicious and the sauces were excellent. DOC is not fussy - great and friendly service, great wine and good atmosphere. Highly recommend.

My experience at DOC was beyond amazing. I visited based on the positive reviews that highlighted the excellent service, but I was pleasantly surprised by just how exceptional it turned out to be.

As someone who usually prefers sitting at the bar in most establishments, I am often drawn to the engaging conversations with bartenders. However, our server, Fabio, was effing dope. His attentiveness, knowledge, and genuine warmth made it one of the most remarkable dining experiences I've had, easily ranking among my top three restaurant experiences.

Overall, DOC Wine Bar not only lived up to its reputation for great service but surpassed it. The combination of their outstanding service and Fabio's exceptional care and attention made this visit truly unforgettable. I highly recommend DOC for anyone seeking an extraordinary dining experience that goes above and beyond expectations.

I would not recommend this restaurant.
It is terribly overpriced, 27$ for poorly executed pasta like the cacio e pepe.
The chicken paillard is plain and the arrancini are tatseless.
I would add that the service is not the best but try to be accomadating.

The ambiance feels as if your in italy! The best Italian staff i have came across. The food was delicious the wine selection is really good! The ravioli and tiramisu were great. Cant wait till we’ll visit again.

I haven’t been to this place since the early 2000’s and was unsure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful expansion of their space. Our favorite item on the menu was the burratta and the Luisa Sauvignon Blanc. Skip the seafood pasta. The pasta itself was fantastically chewy and fresh but the sauce wound up watered down by the sea water. I’ll keep coming back for the hospitality, the wine selection, the cheese plates and the tiramisu.

I’m 100% coming back here. The food and the service was great. The waiter recommended the entrees and desert and they were on point!

Definitely coming back with more people:)

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.

Love this place! The food and wine is amazing the ambience is great and the service is always fast and friendly

I love this restaurant. I love this restaurant so much. It's got great food, it's great for takeout, it's reasonably priced for the neighborhood, the ambience is great, and it's authentic. I'm Italian, so I can say that and really mean it!

When you enter the staff, they serve you very kindly. After the spectacular food, if you want to spend an incredible Sunday, I recommend you visit them.

D. O. C. Wine Bar is one of my favorite spots in Williamsburg. The interior is truly one-of-a-kind with beautiful ceilings and wood beams and an incredibly cozy atmosphere. It’s not just a wine bar, though—the food is spectacular. I loved the beet salad and the mushroom pasta, in particular, but I’ve enjoyed several of the secondis and deserts as well. It’s also worth noting that they can accommodate dietary preferences with vegan and gluten free options. The owner mentioned that they’ve been open since 2001 and their entire team is lovely. I can’t recommend it highly enough!

The Burrata and Branzino are a must-try! The waiting staff was super friendly and on top of things. If you're looking for an old-style Italian ambiance with good music, this should be your choice!

DOC Wine Bar has become one of my favorite spots in Willliamsburg. The wine selection is phonominal, the food is exquisite, and the service is impeccable. My most recent experience on 01/06 was just as amazing as my last, on New Year's Eve.

This place is cozy, has a nice interior. The food was ok, I only liked the cauliflower dish. The waiter kept forgetting to put in the lobster pasta dish. The desert was fine. But for the price and not the best service. I’ve also had better Italian dishes. Our waiter was so over it. Slightly disappointed if you’re going to charge that much. We spent 300 bucks.

Loved this place. Amazing food and attentive service. The manager on duty Dimi had great reccomendations along with wine pairings. Will be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Yum!

Disappointing, over salted and over priced.
It had been years since I’d dined here and from what I recalled it was great, but not this time. I love Italian food and have been to many of the top rated Italian restaurants in nyc, not to mention all over Italy. Although, the food was tasty, the portion sizes, amount of salt and prices were a little ridiculous.
There were 2 of us, 2 glasses of wine (which was very good), 2 appetizers (the beet salad was delicious BUT SO SMALL) and 2 main dishes. The $37 Bronzino was unbelievably over salted and small. I’m not asking or expecting for family style portions, but for the price DOC is charging, I would like to see more offered.
I think it’ll be another few years before I try DOC again.
