This is an annual stop for us. An absolute must if you are visiting Doylestown.

We hosted a rehearsal dinner here. Amazing food, wonderful servers, it was a great night. I have to commend the staff, after we gave them the head count we had 4 more show up unexpectedly. The staff immediately set up seats and rolled with the unexpected extra guests.

We’ve been going to Domani Star for at least 20 years. The food has always been great. They’re incredibly consistent, and offer great and friendly service.
The entire menu is fantastic, but my favorite is the Vitello alla vodka. I just can’t get enough of it. They have some great appetizers too. Two of our favorites are the polenta cake with rosemary cream and the crispy fried mozzarella with balsamic reduction.
Whatever you choose, you can be sure you’ll be having a great meal. In a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The servers are super friendly, and the owner is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet.

The Spaghetti Alla Caprese with the polpettine meatballs rocks, as do most of the other dishes!

My gf and I ate at the “Jazz Room” next to Domani Star. The two restaurants are next to each other but, all the food is prepared at Domani’s. The servers need to constantly run back and forth. Dissipate it the service was fast and the food was excellent!
My only issue was that the servers were wearing old sweatshirts and knit hats. Come on Domani Star, your staff is cold, buy them some warm, nice looking attire! Haha

As someone with Italian heritage and a deep appreciation for authentic Italian cuisine, my recent experience at Domini Star was profoundly disappointing and, frankly, misrepresented what true Italian food should be. The meatballs were dry and tasteless. The salad special that my wife ordered consisted of crudely cut pieces of fruit atop wilted lettuce that was drowning in dressing. The Bolognese I ordered was acceptable but nothing special, certainly not worth the higher price point compared to similar dishes I've had elsewhere for half the cost. While the service was good and attentive, the overall culinary experience did not justify the price or the hype surrounding this Doylestown establishment. Ultimately, I believe your money would be better spent at another restaurant.

The rigatoni was fine but very salty. The sole was some of the worst fish I’ve ever had at a restaurant—either frozen or nearly bad. I was surprised since this place is so well reviewed.

Quite good. Looking forward to trying again. Small BYOB restaurant in the borough of Doylestown. Reservations by phone only; closed Tuesdays. Seating can be tight. Dining room can get noisy. Bread is fresh, but not chewy or flavorful; soft crust. Served with good quality flavorful olive oil. Service was attentive and professional.
Appetizer: Eggplant stuffed with ricotta. Very yum. Tomato sauce was sweet and flavorful. Salad: Mixed green salad with ricotta, pineapple, strawberries, shaved roasted almonds. Thoughtfully brought out in two portions, since we were sharing. Very good.
Main courses were both good: Black bass special, with cherry tomatoes and basil, served with mashed potatoes. This was not a brilliant combination of flavors, rather each ingredient was separately wholesome and tasty. Linguine with shrimp, scallops, and red peppers, with a white wine sauce: All the flavors combined very well and formed a wonderful sauce for the linguine. Scallops had a bit of sand. Shrimp was served with tail and last shell segment attached. This is just annoying for anything other than fried shrimp or shrimp cocktail. (Am I the only one who feels this way…?)
Deserts were the best I’ve had at any local Italian restaurant recently – Tuscan bread pudding, and a rich chocolate cake with fruit and homemade whipped cream.
Food is amazing every time we go and they are VERY good with Gluten Free. My wife is extremely sensitive and has never had any issues here. Apps and salads are awesome!
Dietary restrictions: Everyone here is very good with Gluten Free knowledge and options. My wife is extremely sensitive and has never had any issues nor gotten sick here

This is my go to place in Doylestown. Feels like home and it’s a cozy setting. Friday nights in Sorella (sister space next door) with jazz is perfect! Yummy food that never disappoints.

We went in with no reservations and we were told they could not accommodate us except for outside and it was very hot and humid so we left. Before we got very far, a waiter stopped us and said that if we could wait 10 minutes there was a table clearing out shortly, so we waited. It was a good menu and we both chose the rigatoni with brisket. Surprisingly our meal came out in about 5 minutes, way before the couple next to us. Unfortunately our food was not hot. Not cold, but not hot as pasta is usually served. The flavor was spot on though. Of the couple next to us, the woman had the same dish as us and the guy, something with a large portion of meat which looked quite good. However, we had been finished for 5-10 minutes before they got their food....and they ordered before us. Our desert was fabulous. It was a hot chocolate cake, whipped cream, fresh strawberries, toasted hazelnuts which were still hot, topped with a caramel drizzle.

We usually have a really good culinary experience at DS, although of late things have slipped but on our last visit my pasta came out cold, and the small amount of veal Milanese that they gave me was so overcooked it could probably be used as a frisbee; It too was cold. This wouldn't be so bad, but when you pay $34 for 3 small pieces of cold hard veal it makes you think, is it really worth the time and hard earned $$ to spend on this type of food that I could definitely make way better at home? I hope things will improve on my next visit, I will give DM one more try'
