Profile
Pizza al Forno
When you step into Domenico’s Italian Restaurant, don’t be surprised if your stomach starts to growl. That’s the effect of the kitchen’s brick wood-burning oven, which is fired up nightly to make the house specialty: pizza! These are no ordinary pies: the dough and sauce are both made from scratch every day, according to family recipes, while the toppings are handpicked by the chef/owner to ensure the very best quality.
Eat with the Family
Domenico’s is a family-run business – Domenico himself is in the kitchen, while other family members also cook and serve authentic Italian cuisine with pride. The charming restaurant is awash in soothing gold and brick tones, and everything on the menu is made fresh when you order it. Quality can take time when the restaurant is full, so order a plate of antipasto to keep the rumblings at bay while you await pasta cooked al dente in Spaghetti Carbonara or perfectly sliced and sautéed Veal Scallopine. The full bar offers wines by the glass, martinis, classic cocktails such Caesars and Campari and soda, and Peroni beer.
Party Like an Italian
Domenico’s is open most nights for dinner, and the cozy space is also available for private parties: birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries, weddings and rehearsal dinners, and anything else that calls for a celebration, Italian style. Event menus are available; just call for details. But even for impromptu celebrations or a family dinner, Domenico’s is a warm and welcoming spot. Bring an appetite – and plan on leaving with letftovers.
