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.

Fantastic evening! Food was delicious and priced about where you’d expect for the quality. The service was amazing and very friendly. It’s a cleat location and the ambiance is very cool. Would highly recommend but remember you have to book 30 days in advance and it fills quickly.

This space is better than the last. Also the food and service is amazing. It was my husband’s birthday and we sat at the bar and we felt like regulars and were treated so great. Top of my list and it should be on yours also.

We decide to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary with DOPO and it was exactly what we where looking for. We sat at the bar and were welcomed in by the bartender and took care of us from start to finish. From picking out what to eat to what to pair with it. We had done drinks and appetizers somewhere else so we stuck with pastas that were incredible. We ordered desert and got the tiramisu which blew our minds! Would go back again anytime!

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.
