    Dopo was phenomenal! The ambiance was romantic and cozy. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable providing clarity on the menu and suggestions for pairings. My partner is gluten free and I was concerned he couldn’t eat many things on the menu but they had unreal gluten free bread, pasta, and dessert options. I ate it and wouldn’t even have known it was gluten free. Will 100% be back and telling all our friends
