Delicious food. I haven’t had pasta that good since I gave been in Rome. I was so impressed. We came early and it wasn’t crowded, but the place filled up and it was so loud. We had to shout at each other to hear. That’s my only downside. Service was excellent. I would highly recommend. I would go back, but sit towards the front where it might be quieter overall.

Absolutely lovely dining experience at Dominics. The restaurant is so warm and cozy. I enjoyed the delicious halibut special as well as the amazing homemade tiramisu. The service was excellent and the prices most reasonable. I look forward to returning.
