On many days we've been hopping into D.O.P for dinner without a reservation because it's so convenient. Often, it's also with friends we happen to meet along the way who also wants dinner but haven't made any bookings anywhere. D.O.P is impossible to walk in and get a table during peak dining hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Avoid those days, and as long as you aren't in a large group, you should be pretty okay walking in.
One of those week day evenings saw a table-full of pasta and meats. Skipped the pizzas. We all hop in to get pizza take-outs quite often, so we tend to avoid pizzas when dining in. Tonight saw a fat burrata with parma ham and grilled vegetables, parmigiana, spaghetti with seafood, linguine with bottarga and vongole, seafood risotto, sliced beef tenderloin (perfectly portioned at 250g), and we even had room to share ONE limoncello cake. Heh.
Everyone wanted drinks, but nobody wanted to do heavy drinking. That mean, two drinks each. We had an aperol spritz and a glass of red. Nice. D.O.P is such a dependable restaurant because of its reasonable drinks and good food. It's got plenty of outdoor seating, and it's breezy out there. With floofs and such, many of us aren't bothered with staying indoors in air-conditioning anymore.
