About this space

Descend into the DOVA Cellar, where an intimate dining enclave awaits. This secluded space is a study in contrast and comfort, featuring a herringbone marble floor that plays with the geometry of space, leading your gaze through the room. Luxuriously draped charcoal curtains envelop the area, adding a layer of privacy and softening the acoustics for hushed conversations.

The ceiling, painted in a muted olive tone, is accented with sleek, modern lighting fixtures that cast a warm glow over the central communal table. This table, a stark white canvas, is bordered by streamlined grey chairs that offer a contemporary touch and promise comfort for extended dining sessions.

A bar area tucked in the corner provides a cozy nook for pre or post-dinner drinks, staffed by knowledgeable mixologists ready to prepare your drink of choice. The ambiance is curated with a selection of muted gold and brass accents that reflect off the polished bottles, bringing a subtle opulence to the cellar's subdued lighting.

The DOVA Cellar is a versatile space designed for private parties, special events, or a tranquil escape from the restaurant's main floor bustle. Every element, from the plush seating to the sophisticated décor, is thoughtfully chosen to create an atmosphere of exclusive luxury that makes any occasion feel extraordinary.

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.
