We've been to the Long Beach Domenico's many times and love it, but this was our first time to the Mission Viejo location. It turned out to be just as good -- and it's on the lake. We received attentive and friendly service throughout the busy Saturday night. We started with a basket of complimentary focaccia, then we each had the Domenico's salad with the fabulous garlic dressing. My entree was the Mediterranean pasta, and it was yummy and filling. For dessert, we shared tiramisu. We will definitely be back.
