Domenico's Italian Restaurant

Great appetizers and ice tea. Parking is limited, but usually there is street parking.

I have yet to order something I didn't enjoy. The lasagne is always good, thier pizza is even better. I frequently order to go from here and have yet to have a bad expiernce.

The only complaint I would have to say and it's not to much of a big deal for me is the dining area is very crowded.

But hey that just shows how good the food is.

Domenico's has been around for longer than I've been alive, as evidenced by the dark and dated decor. I'd like to say that it's "quaint" or "authentic," even old school, but it's none of those things.



My son and I ended up here on a Friday night after puzzling over what to get for dinner following some errand running and other chores. We usually get pizza from here - which is delicious, by the way - but we usually pick it up and take it home. However on this night, we were both so hungry we decided to eat at the source.



Not a good idea.



First there was the surly busboy who waved us over to a table without so much as a smile or even a confirmation that we were sitting where he'd indicated. Then we waited for about 5-10 minutes for him to come by again so we could ask for water.



Thankfully our server was pleasant. He answered some questions about items on the menu, made some suggestions and took our order promptly.



The food was generally good, but really hard to enjoy in the dingy environment. I know this place is kind of an institution of sorts, but really - a little bit of improvement could go a long, long way to improving the atmosphere and overall cleanliness of the place.



I'll continue to call and order food for takeout (they don't deliver), but I can say with absolute certainty that I will not eat in the restaurant again.

This local place in a nice area of Pasadena has good pizza and great house salad. Try the mid-week specials. You cant beat the price and it's sure to feed a family of four.
