D.O.C. Wine Bar
8.3
D.O.C. Wine Bar is a Sardinian-leaning Italian wine bar with candlelit brick walls, pane carasau off the grill, and a tight menu of pastas and antipasti. It functions as a neighborhood hideaway for long wine sessions where food is treated as seriously as the bottle list.

Pane carasau with olive oil and sea salt, Eggplant Parmigiana, Ravioli with butter and sage
