This place was recommended by a friend. I really love Antonio's veal marsala, (a nice little place on Dania Beach Blvd) they were closed on a Monday, my friend said D'oro's veal would blow that away. Well, I was totally disappointed, the house salad was iceberg with a wedge of tomato, two black olives and one really good large green one. The bread was warm and crispy focaccia style stuff, (rolls at Antonio's are awesome) good, but not great~I had a calamari appetizer which could have been nice as a half order, tender and well cooked, but a pinch of salt could have brought out the complexity, this was a bit bland. Finally, after a too long wait the main event, my veal arrived. Here's the punch line...again, no seasoning (i.e. salt and pepper!?) and the veal although three cutlets was as thin as a sheet of paper and appeared to have been cooked in an autoclave~just not appetizing. Add to this the owner lady was at the bar entertaining friends and the would go out for a smoke and come back reeking. My bill was 43 bucks and change I handed a fifty over and said thanks, happy to leave. Twenty-one dollars for veal and 10 bucks for callamari 5 plus bucks a piece for two bottles of beer. When I arrived I was sure I'd be back with my wife for a special night, when I left, I knew I would never even consider it. This place like most in downtown Hollywood should just go away, as a native son of South Florida I can say we once had good food here but it's getting rare~this was disappointing for sure, no one even asked how my meal was(probably very apparent to them). I so wish I had come home and cooked....just bad.
