Uncomfortably loud restaurant. I could not understand anything my table partner said. It was very uncomfortable & stressful. The food was ok, so we ate quickly and got out of there as fast as we could. It was a relief when we got outside & could finally relax. There are scientifically proven ways to reduce noise in a restaurant. Little Doms should investigate them.

Forced tip gratuity on takeout orders. I will never come again. I'll remove the comment if I see it change. Oh, and also, I take on to go because the music is always too noisy and loud. But I love their meatballs & potatoes. I will remove the comment when i hear the forced tip is removed

Food was fine. Atmosphere what you would expect from a Bar/Restaurant. Don't order wine by the glass! Very small portion for a very high price!

I ordered the margarita pizza extra crispy. It was very delicious. I wouldn't add any additional toppings. It was good on its own. The seasoned lemon potatoes were excellent. The service was awesome!

Wow, how we wish we had NOT decided to eat at this restaurant. The experience was pretty much a disaster from the start, but was a truly a total disaster by the end. First, the kale and corn salad arrived and was so spicy that we could not eat it; oddly, there was nothing in the description on the menu that indicated the salad would be spicy/peppery. Thankfully, our waitress had the salad made with a different dressing and that worked out. Then we waited for quite some time for our entrées to arrive; we’d both ordered the special, which was a crab pasta dish. When our meals were delivered, we noticed right away that they looked very unappealing. Apparently the food had been reheated extensively, causing the pasta to basically decompose into what looked like wallpaper paste in loose forms of pasta. Even the lemons that were included on top as a garnish were too hot to hold; the entire dish was a pale gray. We each took one bite and determined that the food was inedible . The food looked so bad that all we can think is that somewhere along the line, from the kitchen to the table, someone should’ve noticed there was a problem. Unfortunately, at this point, we decided to pay and leave the food on the table. In retrospect, we really regret that we chose to pay for such abominable food. Needless to say, we will not be returning to Little Dom’s! Beware. If it was possible to give zero or a negative amount of stars, that would be our choice here.

Little Dom's Seafood is my very favorite restaurant -- I can't think of a restaurant that more successfully delivers on the quality of the food; the attentiveness of the staff; and overall inviting atmosphere that makes it both the perfect drop-in spot after a long beach walk or the perfect romantic dinner spot you reserved a month in advance. This is a regular dinner spot for my partner and me, and it is always our first dinner spot on the list when friends or family come to town. I encouraged my best friend to hold her wedding reception at Little Dom's and it was far and away one of the most fun, intimate weddings I've attended, not to mention by far the best food and cocktails. We also selected Little Dom's for a 12-person family-only dinner prior to my brother's wedding. For whatever occasion you have in mind, from the most casual to the most formal, the Little Dom's team will make it exceptionally special and will work with you to make it exactly what you have in mind. Can't recommend this restaurant and the Little Dom's team enough!

Either I missed it or there is no name on the building. Anyway, The service was very attentive and the food was Absolutely delicious. You will not be disappointed. Be Sure you try the potatoes Fried in garlic.extra crispy. The pasty is fresh made as is the pizza dough. Wonderful selection of fresh seafood. For us it was a half w a y stop from Orange county To Cambria. Always worth a stop.
What a surprise little delicious spot. I felt southern vibes as the gumbo was so tasty and the fish sandwich with slaw was reminiscent of a pulled pork sandwich but the fish version. The grilled artichokes had such good flavor. Would drive back to carpinteria to eat here.

Get chocolate olive oil cake and or any of the many flavors of gelato.. First time I tried Little Dom's. Service was fair. The server was friendly and made suggestions. The food was hot though disappointingly bland. The kitchen needs a spice rack. The second visit we got their pizza. Excellent pizza. I'm revising my rating blending the first and second meal. Once again the service is friendly. The second time more attentive. Which I believe may be more to their standards.
This restaurant sucks. Slow service, bland food, crazy loud. If you care more about what the food tastes like than the aesthetic of a place, don’t eat here. If you are like, “yeah but i like their LA locaish so I still wanna try it” - then go but just get a cocktail and oysters. The pizza is like wet cardboard, the squid ink pasta is too thick, dry and overcooked. The best thing we had was the simple green salad. You’ll really feel swindled eating here - i guarantee it.

Awesome little restaurant with good sea food. Would want some rice with the gunbo bowl though. Service was OK. Prices are also upper middle sector,but they're alright.
