Profile
The wine at this rustic Williamsburg enoteca with a Sardinian slant flows like Rheingold at a frat party. Which might explain why the ebullient, mostly Italian crowd is hugging and chain-toasting one another late into the night. For sustenance, try piquant honey-drizzled sheep's-milk cheese paired with a Sardinian red Cannonau served in a two-ounce glass called a marzianetto, or a delicious pressed panino on crusty Sullivan Street ciabatta.
NoteD.O.C. Wine Bar only accepts reservations for parties of six or more.
Recommended DishesMortadella panino with fontina, basil, and capers on ciabatta, $8.50

I've been in the area for a while and I'm upset I didn't find this place sooner! The decor is very romantic with a rustic feel. The wine list is excellent and the wine we ordered was so good we took down the name. Food was great, we had a pizza-like dish we had never even heard of, which is always fun. Great cheese selection as well. The only negative i'd say is that you can feel the L train running under the restaurant, but that doesn't matter because the atmosphere is so relaxing.
Awful Service

It's such a disappointment that D.O.C. gets so many things comfortably right -- an intriguing wine selection, an appealing combination of ingredients in their paninis, quality meats, and daily specials that are worthy of picking up your forks -- but the service is unreliable. When it's good it's lovely, but when it's not it's the worst of inconsiderate, inattentive and on our last visit outright rude. Not only did we have to get up to ask our waiter for our bill (after initially receiving the wrong wine, waiting for and never receiving the bread we'd asked to accompany our meat and cheese platter, and waiting for over 20 minutes for the bill while the waiter sat at a table chatting to the bartender), but the manager actually ran down the street after us when we left an appropriately appreciative tip (10%). He asked and we explained about the poor service whereupon he told us not to come back. Since tips aren't mandatory, it seems reasonable that if the waiter desired a more substantial one he might have conducted his service befittingly. Shame on you boys!
