DOVA, nestled at 229 Carlton Street in Toronto, is a Sicilian and Mediterranean culinary gem steered by the adept hands of Chef Roberto Marotta and Jacqueline Nicosia. This restaurant is an ode to Sicily's vibrant terroir and rich culinary traditions, with a nod to the wider Mediterranean basin. The architectural splendor of DOVA is apparent in its intimate private cellar, where guests can enjoy secluded dining, and the main floor blooms with lush decor, creating an inviting Mediterranean ambiance. Handcrafted artisanal pasta, freshly caught fish, and ethically sourced meats are the cornerstone of their exquisite cuisine.

The restaurant is a versatile haven, equipped to host various events from intimate dinners to weddings, supported by an array of amenities and event design services ensuring each occasion is flawlessly executed. Acoustic considerations have been made to curate an atmosphere where the din of lively conversations and clinking glasses complements, rather than overpowers, the dining experience. This oasis of taste offers a hidden patio that serves as an urban retreat, completing the immersive experience that DOVA provides to all who step through its doors.
