The seafood risotto was excellent and exceeded my expectations, and the ambiance was elegant. Pricey, but worth it. I would dine here again.

We were unfortunately disappointed with the quality of the food. The service was pretty good. I ordered the veal saltimbocca which was very disappointing and reminded me of turkey cutlets in gravy from a banquet meal in taste and presentation. I got a Caesar salad, which was decent, my partner had the house salad, which was supposed to feature artichokes. He found only one on the salad. There was no offer for grated Parmesan on any of the salads. The bread looks like it came from a grocery store. Definitely did not taste fresh baked or appear to be baked in house. The third person in our party ordered the salmon which was supposed to have a cream sauce. It had dill on it but no cream sauce, but otherwise she said the salmon was decent. A side of risotto was $14 additional. The veggie side that came with my veal was very very small. The food was way underwhelming and for a $200 dinner. We were extremely disappointed. The cost of our meal included only one alcoholic beverage.

Food was prepared well and overall made for a nice dinner date. Could have more options for side dishes.

Went here last night for my boyfriend's birthday. This was our first visit to Dominics and it did not disappoint. It was very quiet as would expect for a weeknight but the ambiance and staff we great. This place offered great hospitality and I'd recommend them to anyone looking for great Italian food and even better service. We will definitely be going back!

Last night's dinner was simply incredible! Joe and Josh provided perfect service and advice and the food was the best we had all week on The Hill.

One of the places where the owner himself makes sure everybody is having a great experience. Class act.

This was our first visit to Dominic's and it was outstanding. The service by the staff was exceptional. The food was the best we have had on the Hill. We will definitely be going back.

Opentable Diner

Such a lovely experience. Old-school service like no one does anymore. So attentive. So professional. Mr Dominic himself came to greet every table, and even sang to a woman for her birthday, in Italian. Great Cesar salad, Arancini appetizer, linguine with clams, veal cannelloni (husband loved this), limoncello martini, and DELICIOUS chocolate martini (no cream version). Perfect elegant anniversary dinner out. Can't wait to go back.

We have been lucky enough to eat Italian food at restaurants around the world, including many in Italy. Dominic's is up there with the very best of those. A bonus is the personal service that Dominic himself provides (including the singing!)

My significant other and I ended up here on a whim because a nearby option was on a long wait. Upon entering the bar is in view which made me think maybe we entered through the wrong door. After realizing the hostess area was to the left we were sat without a reservation which was nice. It took a few minutes for someone to take our drink order. I felt that there was a-lot of waiting on our part for service during our experience but maybe they didn’t want us to feel rushed which I can understand. The arancini appetizer was delicious. We also ordered snails with artichokes which were just okay in my opinion. The entrees we ordered were cannellini and the tortellini with prosciutto. A hot plate of sorts was brought to our table where it’s lit on fire and our plates are warmed up on it. I thought that experience was a tad bit awkward and honestly it would probably give the servers more time to do other things if they got rid of that part of the process. The food was all absolutely delicious and we appreciated that! I think the food speaks for itself and the slightly pretentious fine dining vibe I was getting wasn’t for me. I would’ve liked more personal casual interactions with the staff to make me feel more comfortable. That being said we thought the service was good overall and they all seemed to take pride in the experience they provide. We had spumoni (ice cream) for dessert which was one of the most delicious desserts I have had in awhile! I’ll say it again SPUMONI 10/10!!! I know my review has a lot of critiques but I am still giving 5 stars because of the food. I am happy we ended up at Dominic’s and we will be back!

**A Truly Exceptional Experience at Domicic's on the Hill**

What a wonderful impromptu dinner my wife and I had at Domicic's on the Hill! We were simply looking for a place to eat, and on a whim, decided to give it a try—and I'm so glad we did.

From the moment we walked in, the Maître d' greeted us with such warmth and genuine hospitality, setting the tone for the evening. Then came our waiter, Josh, who was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.

Let me talk about the bread—it was *incredible*! Fresh, warm, and with just the right amount of flavor, it was the perfect start to what turned out to be a fantastic meal.

But one of the best moments of the evening came when I asked the Maître d' for a dish recommendation. Rather than just picking one, he suggested splitting them so I could try both—what a thoughtful and generous gesture! It may seem like a small thing, but it really showcased the kind of service and care you rarely find these days.

We truly felt valued as guests, and it made the entire experience even more special. We’re already planning our next visit, and I can't recommend Domicic's on the Hill highly enough. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-try!

There are many places to get great Italian food on the hill, but no where else matches the service and ambiance of Dominic's. Their food is perfect too.
