LOVE! The food and wine are great. They have a lovely, dog friendly outdoor patio. The service is always good. The Sommelier is knowledgeable and friendly. Best gluten free pizza I've ever had. The pastas and pizzas are incredible. They also have a fun brunch menu!

This has quickly become my go-to spot. Everything I've had here has been fantastic. Pizzas - excellent crust, flavorful sauce. Lamb chops were delicious - super tender. Great assortment of wine - I'm partial to reds and I like that they have something for whatever mood I'm in. I've always had top-notch service here and everyone is very friendly. I've sat at the bar, inside high tops, and outside - all good options.

OMG how and why have I never reviewed this place before?! I thought for sure I had, which is why I took no photos today! This was insane, epic, knock your socks off, knock it out of the ball park, slam dunk, hjomerun kinda gravity defying deliciousness, dish after dish after dish was sooooo great, I ate my weight, as did my husband :-) First up, their house baked focaccia with olives and tomatoes served with a side of olive oil and either flour del set or Maldon's for dipping. Then baked cheese with toasted baguette--and guess what? They are NOT stingy with the baguette! Ya know those places where they bring out the cheese with some baguette or crostini and there's literally one small piece of bread with a vat of cheese and you're thinking okay, dud, the ratio is way off here. This is t=not the Domenico way lol :-) Nope. They brought out the beautiful oozing cheese in a little pan with more than ample baguette for two or more people! Next time--and there will be a next time--I'll get eh fig preserves on the side because I love the taste of the cheese by itself unadulterated without sweetness, but my husband loooooves the sweet fig jam. I can never resist a phenomenal caesar, no matter how pedestrian some consider it, when it comes with a tangy creamy house dressing with a fresh Spanish anchovy, lemony top, and house made croutons, it hit the spot. Then comes the mushroom stuffed gnocchi with a creamy balsamic sauce. I love gnocchi but most restaurants can never get it right because they somehow do it so it's rubbery and not at all the right texture. This dish was perfection, delicate and creamy, soft and with a forgiving bite full ofmjushroom and the most decadently creamy sauce ever. I could've drank it in a vat. They brought out a tiramisu with a candle for my birthday and and espresso--so so so sweet! The service awesome and friendly and attentive! We sat outside on their covered patio with heating lamps, given the blustery weather. This is my new favorite Italian place on the peninsula and I cannot wait to go back, especially for brunch, since they have all sorts of specials. Parking is free on their lot out front. Prices are more than reasonable, especially given the pristine ingredients, full of fresh seasonal stuff, and the refined, sophisticated yet earthy preparations. The service, let me just repeat again, is so sweet! Next time I go, I'll be sure to take tons of photos of the place as well as the food. Btw., you can sit either indoors or outdoors, though I far prefer the latter, because for some reason the al fresco vibe feels celebratory :-)

We have gone here many times, the food and service is really great. Today I went and I messed up my reservation by putting the wrong amount of people and they were so nice and accommodating at the front desk as well as our server I believe his name was RP. Always a great experience.
What an excellent experience we had! Food was outstanding, and service was A+! Derek, our server was incredibly helpful with great advice, and so personable. Prices were reasonable and the food was plentiful. We will definitely go back again soon. Thank you!

Food was pretty good, but I was there on business, so the service was spruced up. The place definitely has great ambiance....

Had a fantastic dinner at Domenico tonight with excellent service from Derek. We are wine club members and enjoy the tasting when we come, and appreciated how Derek checked in to make sure we were happy throughout our meal. Already looking forward to our next visit!

We usually live going to Domenico's Osteria for their wonderful food and wine. But lately, the service has been lacking. We went there for Valentine's Day dinner, knowing that service would be a bit delayed. We were told we only had 90 minutes to eat as the Grapes and Giggles event would be starting. We were there for 2 1/2 hrs. And our waiter couldn't seem to complete his services at his tables as he was clearly distracted table to table. They could have been short staffed, I get it. And it was Valentine's Day, I get it. But it seems every time we go there, service takes a long time and the waiters are overwhelmed. So sad.

Very good wines and very good food. I go there often and always enjoy the experience. The waiter could have been more attentive, but it was a very busy night being Valentine's Day.
We had an early reservation on Valentines Day so only seating was outside. Patio heaters kept us warm. Our server was extremely pleasant but somewhat in attentive to see that our plates were cleared and dessert menus delivered. We had to ask. We ordered a bottle of wine and to our surprise our entrees arrived before the wine. Our waiter returned the entrees to the kitchen and delivered the wine to the table. Entrees appeared shortly afterwards....not sure if they were just kept warm under a heat lamp. That said, the food was absolutely delicious. The mushroom gnocchi was fantastic and the walnut encrusted halibut was simply the best.

I would say that Domenico is a place to enjoy a nice glass of wine and some light eats when the weather is pleasant. Not on a rainy Valentine's Day like what I did. It was pouring outside and while we made a reservation, we were seated outside since it was the only option provided. I think they had some kind of comedy special indoors and upstairs. The heat lamps worked great, but being right next to the door was inconvenient and a bit dangerous with employees and guests walking in and out right around you. The waiter stopped by a couple times, but was really busy with a full restaurant. I got the primativo wine which I enjoyed, but my boyfriend did not. We split the rigatoni which was decent - wished the portion was much bigger. It was my own fault and I read it on the menu but I got one of the white pizzas with no sauce. Because there was no tomato sauce, there was nothing to balance out the saltiness of the olive oil, prosciutto, and whatever cheese was used. I would come back to try this place again knowing what I know now. I've been one other time before in the summer and it was nice.

Took my grandparents there with me since grandpa loves Italian wine. The restaurant is actually inside a winery. They made their wine locally here. The wine menu was fantastic. Price for the wine is reasonable. We ordered many appetizers and main dishes. Some of the dishes were not good, that is why I am giving 3 stars. The halibut was very dry and not eatable. I wish I told the management at that time but my mom won't let me :-( There were also not enough meat on the bone for rack of lamb. Please see pictures. Overall, we enjoyed the wine, not the food, the service was good too.

Start to finish - lovely place to stop for some wine tasting and something to eat while doing so. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the table we were at was pretty tiny to accommodate plates and wine tasting, so took some creative logistics to make sure we didn't spill .... (cuz who wants to be the one with that party foul? ) Seriously though - you get to pick four choices from the tasting list. And the food was really yummy - I would come back just to try some more food and enjoy a glass of wine (or maybe a bottle?) Will be going back

This rating is purely from the lens of a celiac. This place is not at all celiac friendly. Though, the other people in my party thoroughly enjoyed their food. Here is why it isn't celiac friendly: - Pizzas are cooked in the same oven, cross contaminated - Burgers (or anything grilled) shares the same grill that they grill all of their bread on, cross contaminated - Anything fried shares the same oil as things with flour, cross contaminated Salads might be the only thing you can eat, but due to the above, I'd avoid it out of caution. The reason why 2 stars... not because they don't have options, but because the sever told us something wasn't cross contaminated until I saw it being cooked on the same surface as the bread right in front of me. I questioned it and the server said 'In that case, everything is cross contaminated!' I would've been incredibly sick if I ate that... not coming back.
