Bar Gigi is a tiny little place with lots of energy. It’s loud, the music is loud and it’s hard to hear your company. I’m not that old but I appreciate being able to hear the company I’m with! It gave the place energy but it’s something to consider when booking. There are 6-7 tables. It’s cute, busy, and the food is the best I’ve encountered in a long time! It’s sharing style, so you get to enjoy lots of menu items. I will book again, but make sure I’m with someone who doesn’t wear hearing aids! I’m curious about how it’ll fare during the winter when the door opens to -20 and surrounds the patrons with blasts of cold air. I’ll be back for the food most importantly. Delicious

About the restaurant

Please note that D.O.P will be closing August 31, 2024. See you in October at our new restaurant in Marda Loop!

D.O.P. is a journey that started with a large family who immigrated from a small village in the heart of Italy in 1979. With them they brought the memories, traditions, and recipes of the old country. For over 14 years my parents operated an Italian restaurant in Ontario. This journey continued when I moved to Calgary, inspired by my father, I continued working in the restaurant industry. His legacy and my exposure to the diverse food culture in the city helped shape the concept of D.O.P.

Being a second generation Canadian, I want to honour both my Italian roots and Canadian upbringing, by sharing our families’ recipes and adapting them to our Canadian landscape.
We are privileged to share with you the time-old traditions and memories of a family whose passion for Italian cooking created a legacy.

So come on in, leave your shoes on and let’s make more.
