D.O.C St Kilda
The sixth outpost of a Carlton institution, on the St Kilda foreshore.
Italian$$
Carlton institution D.O.C has opened a sixth outpost within the Saint Moritz apartment complex on the St Kilda foreshore. But the kitchen isn’t limiting itself to the traditions the restaurant built its name on.
The sought-after Neapolitan pizzas, home-style lasagne and classic tiramisu remain, but the menu also finds room for mezze maniche (a short and chunky tubular-shaped pasta) with beef rib ragu; caramelle (candy-shaped ravioli) filled with pork rib and ricotta; and a seaside-appropriate white wine linguini packed with tiger prawns and pacchatelli tomato. Desserts include Sicilian cannoli piped full of sweet ricotta, dark chocolate and orange.
The bright and airy space features a hulking pizza oven and artwork by Kate Florence, whose pieces adorn every D.O.C venue. On the drinks list you’ll find an array of cocktails, plus a selection of Italo-leaning wines.
