DOPO, meaning 'after' in Italian, is an intimate dining experience in the lower level of Elizabeth Square in Marda Loop, Calgary. Inspired by D.O.P, its predecessor restaurant, DOPO has been reimagined by Executive Chef, David Leeder and Owner, Tony Migliarese. With strong opinions from Mamma Rose, of course.

Great food and really exceptional service. It is easy to see why restore so hard to get. Big thanks to DOPO for the food, the drinks, and the amazing hospitality. Highly recommended.

Food 10/10,  Ambience 10/10…
Server was friendly but didn’t go above and beyond. It was our anniversary, and the server didn’t ask us if we were celebrating anything or besides didn’t seem interested in having any extra conversation with our table.

We went here for my boyfriends birthday. They acknowledged his birthday and greeted us with a glass of bubbles when we sat down, it was so kind. The food and the vibe were just unreal, I can’t wait to go back! Dom our server at the bar was so great too!

I’m no stranger to expensive restaurants but this just didn’t feel like the food lived up to the price tag. Which is an uncommon thing for me to raise.

Did not disappoint! Four of us went for dinner, and let the server choose our order, she picked a great selection and the perfect amount. All the staff is incredibly attentive, and engaging. Everything you would expect from DOP, but in the amazing new venue. Highly recommend!
