    We went to DOPO to celebrate my wife’s birthday and loved literally everything! The hostess and our server were both wonderful and the unique space set a perfect tone for a night out. We had ordered drinks upstairs at Bar Rosso, as we were early for our reservation. Both cocktails were fabulous and we enjoyed them back downstairs at DOPO alongside the whipped ricotta and green tomatoes to start. Our meal was delicious (thank you to our server for the recommendations on both food and wine!) and I couldn’t possibly say enough good things about the tirimisu to end the evening. We will be back :)
