DOC Albert Park

The south-of-the-river sibling of Tony Nicolini’s DOC Group (DOC Carlton, DOC Espresso, DOC Mornington and DOC Delicatessen) continues the successful formula by combining a classic Italian menu, excellent produce and an old-school charm in a contemporary setting.

The look is fresh and upmarket, defined by whitewashed walls, polished concrete floors and a long, eye-catching marble bar.

Pizza is the firm favourite here, as you would expect, but the menu includes other Italian fare including lasagne, salads and soups. An inviting prosciutto, salumi and mozzarella bar decorated with colourful traditional goods, along with an open kitchen with pizzas prepped out on the front benches ensures you’re always close to the action.
