Flew in from nyc and I had to stop at this beautiful restaurant. I was so happy I did. The food is perfect, staff is so welcoming and nice. The owner and his wife are amazing and so friendly. Family owned and the baklava cheesecake is a must try. The drinks are delicious and so is the shrimp scampi. If you’re in Bridgeport Texas go and try their food. I had calamari to start and the atmosphere is top tier! 10/10 and I will be coming back!

It was Fabulous!!!! Best Italian food we've had in a long time!!! Staff was Super Friendly and patient will all our questions since it was our first time there. Portion sizes were huge!!! We were so full from our meal we couldn't eat but just a bite of our Complimentary desert!!! Found our new dining out place. You won't be disappointed by the food or service!!! I highly personally recommend the scampi. I don't like shrimp so I got chicken, the sauce was AMAZING!!!!

Great Food and Amazing Service! I had a great time at Dovani Italian Restaurant and Bar! The food was delicious, and the tiramisu was one of the best I’ve ever had—so creamy and tasty. The place has a calm and peaceful vibe, perfect for enjoying a nice meal. The service was excellent—everyone was super friendly and really paid attention to what we needed. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. I also liked how flexible they were with the menu. They let us change ingredients and adjust the dishes to our liking, which was really helpful. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for good Italian food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Some friends recommended Dovini Italian Bar & Grill and I owe them dinner for turning me onto this restaurant! I have stopped in a couple times for dinner and have not been disappointed. The atmosphere is casual and family friendly, I’ve seen families with infants as well as families with young children. The service has been great, the staff is very friendly and attentive. I never had an empty glass, and felt well taken care of. I have sampled their fried calamari, meatball parm, Italian sub, meat lovers Stromboli and Blackened Salmon w/ Shrimp and everything I’ve had has been absolutely delicious and good portion size.

Bridgeport has many hidden gems, and this is one of them, to start. The restaurant is not crowded. Seating is perfectly spaced for privacy, the quality of service was exceptional. Our server Sam was great. The quality of the food was amazing, you can taste the quality in their food. The marinara sauce was amazing their pizza also amazing you can tell that the dough is proof perfectly their pasta you can taste that they take time to make their sauces. If you enjoy a good quality food, great atmosphere highly recommended.
