  •   I haven't been able to eat there in over a year because of an illness, but when I was able to it immediately became my favorite restaurant. The service was excellent, the food was *outstanding*, and my husband, who is a serious foodie, absolutely loved to eat there. We also very much enjoyed the music, so yes the ambiance was also nice.

      Stopped in here for the first time during a lunch hour.  From the small plate menu, I ordered the linguine with marinara meat sauce and a side of garlic knots. A well proportion sized lunch.  Sauce was absolutely fabulous. It was a great lunch. I am looking forward to come back to try the dinner menu.  Service was fast and friendly.  The ambience was old Italian.

      Delicious food in a quaint local stop with good lighting and great service. Tried the calamari, salads, shrimp parm and linguini with clams. Yummy garlic knots came out when we arrived. Great wine/beer list. We'll be back!

  •   Had dinner at Dominick's last night. Online reservation worked great. Great waiter. Great sale price on wine bottles. Food and ambiance great, as usual. Nice place!

      The food makes this place worth all 5 stars. Our server was also the bartender and was quite busy, so service on a busy night can be slow. I think it is worth the wait, though. I had the minestrone soup to start with, which was ok, but the garlic knots and my eggplant Parmesan were fantastic. My parents also really enjoyed their meals, and there was plenty to take some home for another meal.

Be sure to get a reservation. It's a popular place because of the great food. They have live music on Fridays

Everything was nice from the service to the food. Not happy being seated next to the kitchen door. It was our Valentine's special dinner. Supposed to be romantic. Not even close. The in and out traffic, of wait staff, was a mood killer. So disappointing.

Stopped in on March 2nd and sat at the bar at 5:30 p.m. Bartender was personable and helpful. They have dark and amber beers too. Happy hour gets $2 off appetizers. I ordered their homemade fried zucchini (very generous portion) and pizza bread knots with marinara. Didn't care for the crushed tomato type of marinara served- no way to dunk the knots. Their Pasta Rustica easily became a Puttanesca by adding anchovies and was served tossed in sauce instead of drowned. Delicious! And kudos for having anchovies! Everything came out quickly. The bartender " Brody" also had floor tables as they got busy but continued to check that my meal was satisfactory. He is also very familiar with the menu. I will try their pizza as the dough knots were really good. They make their own desserts and have spumoni as well. I think I missed out by ordering the ice cream as they make cheesecakes and tiramisu, and of course, cannoli. Definitely my good fortune to have stopped in! Prices are reasonable and everything tasted fresh. I like my pasta a little more al dente, but the sauce was very good! (Ask about their dinner specials, did not see them until later- they are on a separate menu)
