Doc's reopened at Kent Village Barn Shops
KENT – Doc’s Trattoria and Pizzeria is opened a new restaurant on April 24, that offers outdoor and fireside dining, two private dining rooms, a full bar, take-out window and the same signature southern Italian food that attracted a loyal following at its former location on Lake Waramaug.
Located in the Kent Village Barn Shops just off Main Street, the spacious new restaurant is housed in an 1840s Federal-style building with an awning-covered terrace that overlooks a courtyard and massive maple tree that dates back to the 1700s. The trattoria offers 80 seats inside and 30 seats on the patio and will be open daily for both lunch and dinner.
With owner/executive chef Roberto Pizzo and head chef Edinson Ruilova remaining at the helm, the restaurant will serve the same Italian fare for which it has become known. Dishes like Zuppa di Pesce and Penne Vessuviana place an emphasis on fresh seafood, vegetables and pastas. The restaurant also offers some northern Italian dishes such as Chicken Milanese and Bolognese, as well as weekly specials that change with the seasons. A new addition will be a dedicated lunch menu, featuring lighter options and smaller portions.
Doc’s will also continue to offer its thin-crust pizza with an assortment of unusual toppings, but the pizzas will now be fired in a brick oven. Rounding out the menu are luscious homemade desserts and a full-service bar with an extensive selection of wine.
With exposed brick and taupe-colored walls, hardwood floors, and French doors and large windows to let in light, the newly renovated interior features a fireplace, curved mahogany bar topped with black granite and a dedicated espresso bar. Two different rooms can be rented for private parties: one accommodates up to 15 people; the other up to 40.
White butcher paper-covered tables and black linen napkins make the restaurant comfortable for families, as well as upscale patrons. Doc’s, which opened in a tiny clapboard building in New Preston, was acquired by Roberto and Paulette Pizzo in 1999. With only 11 tables, the intimate restaurant was beloved by locals and luminaries alike. Joan Rivers, Conan O’Brien, Milos Forman and Arthur Miller were among those who dined there. That location served its last meal on April 13.
Located at 9 Maple Street with parking available in the Kent Village Barn Shops lots off Old Barn Road, Doc’s will be open seven days a week: Monday through Thursday from noon until the last seating at 9 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from noon until the last seating at 9:30 p.m.; Sunday from 12:30 to 8:30 p.m. For reservations and information, call (860) 927-3810.
