Tried dinner here for the first time last night and 10/10 it was the best! Can't beat the prices! The food was great! The friendly staff and great service. Looking forward to the next time we go.

Not understanding the bad reviews. Had a wonderful dinner and Rick and team were great. Rick gave us a tour after dinner and really rounded out the night. As for the steaks, I think the prices were great for the quality. I don't get the promo of 50% off, but not complaining. Rib eye and t bone were both great, but rib eye was truly the stand out. Large enough for two people, which we plan to plait next time so we can try another house dish. If the steaks were full price, I might not be giving them 5 stars since there are some great steakhouses out there, but at this price point, it's a no brainer. Plan to make this a regular spot on our rotation, especially during happy hour but just note, half off steaks are not limited to happy hour!

"Serving since 1960" I have passed this place a million times and have always wanted to try it out but I finally had the pleasure of doing so. Upon entering you are greeted by a visual representation of their New York, Filet Mignon, T-bone, Ribeye and a center cut pork chop. This already gets your carnivore palette throbbing. What caught my eye was the lighting. Blue lights at the bar and quaint/romantic lighting in remainder of the dining room already set the mood for an exceptional aesthetic. Julio our server was great but the star of the show was Carlos. I felt like we were at Carlos's house with his exceptional service. He poured a very classy pour on my second glass of Cabernet amongst other accommodations. The portions are huge, I viewed the surrounding tables and noticed every table had take home food to enjoy. The menu items with a star next to them are half priced and they have an amazing happy-hour (pictures to follow) The complimentary garlic bread was great. The pesto pasta was delicious after I added some Alfredo sauce. Tbone was cooked to the boyfriend's liking and their chimichurri was a great compliment. The tiramisu was super tasty, it tasted homemade but I could do without the Hershey tasting syrup on top. Overall this is our new Sunday night treat. Great wine selection/guest service and food. Thank you Carlos. We will see you soon.

Well done job by ownership in sprucing up this long time Monrovia neighborhood Italian family restaurant. Ambience and service quality is absolutely fantastic. Introduction of a more upscale steak house menu is impressive to say the least. Tremendously value that seems to be a well kept secret. Definitely a repeat visit in our dinner line up.

I've been here for 2 events, one was a baby shower in the outdoor patio. It was a beautiful patio with great food family buffet style. So the hosts picked out the menu and all the food were in trays and guest could help themselves and there were pitchers of soda, water, and sangria on the table. There's also a private parking lot which is very helpful when hosting an event. Since it was such a nice experience, I came back decided to host my own event here for a surprise 50th birthday brunch. Rick, Destiny, and the rest of the team was incredible. Thank you so much for making my event easy to put together, for the great service, and delicious food. The day of my event was unfortunately during a heat wave, so Rick was so kind to let me move my event from the outdoor patio (which has shades) into the upstairs space with AC on a short notice. The team was so nice to let me and a few other people come in early to decorate and bring our own sweets and cake and store it in the refrigerator. The party was a huge success with the guests asking how we found this gem and how they would like to have their own date nights at Domenico's. The food was excellent. I got a steak which was cooked to perfection and paired with the best chimichurri sauce I have ever had. My sister also got a shrimp scampi pasta and it was delicious. The cocktails were refreshing and the overall service was impeccable. The servers were attentive, friendly, and helped make this surprise birthday brunch come together smoothly. I will definitely be back for date nights and future events.

We came here on a weekday, right when the restaurant opened for lunch and we were the only ones there. My husband and I had wanted to try Domenico's for a while, so we decided to come in for their lunch buffet. The decor inside takes you back in time. It's well furnished with pictures and dimly lit with a soft red glow. There are a few booths in the side when you walk in and then regular tables and longer ones for larger parties. The staff is very nice and personable. I was pleasantly surprised with the selection of food. There's minestrone soup & salad, pasta, meatballs, lasagna, garlic bread, chicken Marsala, ribs, Hawaiian pizza and pepperoni pizza, from what I can remember. The ribs were a teeny bit dry to me but they were meaty. Not bad for $18.95/person! Now that we got a good preview of many of their dishes, we'd love to come back for more of their entrees! As we were leaving, we noticed staff carefully placing different cuts of meat in the refrigerated display by the entrance. You can see for yourself in the attached photos :)

Came for steak night with the boys on a Thursday night, no wait and the servers were super friendly and helpful. I got the ribeye which came with minestrone potatoes and veggies. Portions are huge and the steak was cooked just how I like it. Vegetables were grilled and the potatoes were perfectly starchy. I ended up eating like half the steak before I remembered to take a picture. Will definitely be coming back

My boyfriend took me here to time travel back to his younger days. The last time he went to Domenico's was in his high school years! Fast forward to today, we both had a wonderful time. We ordered the New York Steak and the Big D Special: Lasagna and Ravioli. Our entrees famr with a salad or soup, so we got one of each to try. Both the salad and soup were great - salad was fresh, soup was hearty, and had lots of other veggies, which I loved. The free garlic bread was great to pair with it. The New York Steak had a very delicious chair, we could tell by the beautiful criss cross grill marks. It definitely showed! The Big D Special came with the best of both worlds: Lasagna and Ravioli. It was just what I was looking forward to - cheese goodness. Our hostess and servers were friendly. They always had a smile, always was happy to answer my questions, and always offered their service. Our server also informed us that everything with a star next to it is 50%. I asked why, and he said they did this to make their restaurant more affordable to all families to have a great time. They made our experience so much better. We were seated outside on a nice cool day by an open window. Our table was right next to a graduation party that was a lot of fun to watch. You can tell this is such a family oriented restaurant. I'd definitely come back with my parents for great service and delicious food.
