    I was in the mood for some good Italian food and a romantic ambience. Found this wonderful gem in Belmont Shore. I was happy the moment I walked in. Low lighting with candles on the tables and string lights on the ceiling. Food comes in large portions or family style. Very tasty and satisfying.

    My family and I ate here together and the food was great. We got a family style entree (tons of food) with tasty meat sauce, a supreme pizza (which was honestly amazing), and the chicken parm sandwich (a huge meal and very good). The service was a little slow, but they more than made up for it with the food and customer care.

    Amazing delicious food, exceptional customer service from everyone working there, and great atmosphere! Love the cute romantic low light vibe in there, it's hard to find Italian restaurants like that these days! They also had the best priced wine I've ever seen in a restaurant, $11 for a pitcher of wine! I got the BBQ chicken pizza and it was phenomenal! They even gave us tiramisu on the house so we could try it and it was heaven in the mouth 😍😍😍 They also have menus on the wall from the 1950s when they first opened when large pizzas were ONLY $1.85! Really cool! Definitely my new favorite Italian restaurant! I wish there was one out in Vegas where I live too. I went to this one when I was visited Cali

    This was, hands down, the most delicious Italian food I have ever had. My girlfriend and I will definitely be back. All of the staff was very kind, attentive, and professional. This is an excellent place for either a one on one romantic evening, or for an intimate gathering with multiple friends. We were in town for a classical music performance and we met Lance, one of the managers of this restaurant, who recommended this place to us. I am so glad he recommended this place. Even now I'm already planning the most convenient time for us to come back.

    Stumbled upon this place while visiting Long Beach last week through tik tok. They say it’s the first pizza restaurant in California, so I had to try! I must say, it was veryyyyyy different and tasty!!!!! Highly recommend!

    Food was incredible, the bread and dressing was very good. I was impressed with the speed of our service and the portion sizes. The mozzarella sticks are big enough to share.

    So glad we stumbled onto this place; stellar service, great knowledge from our bartender Nicole and the manager Lance was super friendly and it is very apparent the people there love their job! Definitely will be going back!!!

    So I gave this place an 8.0 on the One Bite App. Dave really needs to visit this place. I only have ever ordered pizza and soup from this place. The ground sausage is awesome, the ground pepperoni is great but a little spicy. I think this place has the best BBQ chicken pizza on the planet, as long as you order it with easy onions. Something to consider unless you want an onion pizza with a killer chicken and BBQ sauce.

    Holy sweet mother of God this place is incredible. THE best Italian food ive ever had. We order the chicken Alfredo and the house special sausage pasta. I cannot even begin to describe how savory and intense the flavor. It’s AMAZING. Also the bread and dip they bring to the table is to die for. We went through at least 5 basket. It is theeee most addicting bread I’ve ever been given at a restaurant. 10/10 would recommend this place to every person ever. Worth every penny.

    My boyfriend and I were craving pizza and Domenico’s did not disappoint! We were seated right away. Hostess was very nice and friendly. Our server was really cool, very kind and personable. We got the ground pepperoni pizza and it was delicious. I like the crispy pepperoni. Great atmosphere, super cute Italian restaurant with lights strung everywhere.

    We were expecting a mom and pop environment with great food, inviting staff and warm environment. What we found was cold soggy pizza, an uninviting environment and slow wait staff. We were seated in a booth barely big enough for 2 people to sit comfortably. We requested a larger table and were denied. The food came out separately, and the pizza was cold. The positives include wonderful bread, great salad, and delicious lasagna. Would recommend requesting your seat size prior to being sat and getting the lasagna regardless of waitress recommendations to get the pizza.

    Honestly I've been coming here for awhile with my boyfriend and his family and it never fails to make us full and happy. I tend to get something new every time I go but I always get a cup of the Tomato Bisque Soup. The service here is amazing and the manager, I always forget to ask for his name, is always walking around asking tables how they are and its comforting. And may I just day the inside of the restaurant is so adorable, it's warm for those cold days and cool in the warm ones, and just very homey and comfortable. I recommend a lot for dates, outings with friends, a family dinner or just a treat for yourself.

    Highly recommend Domenico's!! We sat at the bar, the bartender/ server Leo was so friendly. The manager was equally nice. Leo recommended food for us. We had linguini and clams in white sauce and tomato cream sausage and pasta. This place has a great atmosphere, great employees and great customer service. We have found our new favorite place!!

    I have ordered this pizza 12x over past 6 months always had it delivered. Today I picked it up. I ordered it from the restaurant and waited. It was barely warm when they handed it to me. So I had to heat it up when I got home. It heats up well in a pan but still not what I expected. It has always been hot or at least warmer when I've had it delivered. It is a great pizza but not what I expected on service.

    Ordered their famous grounded pepperoni, and it was overloaded with oily base. 3 of us a pizza, 2 of us were disgusted, and 1 thought it was "ok".

    An amazing place, we had an Alfredo Chicken pizza large and it feed us for two days. The area is great with lots of parking and things to do. I highly recommend checking them out they got us in right away on a Saturday night.

    We got the giant meatballs which were very tasty but giant (as expected). The marinara sauce was very good. We also got a meatball pizza (yes we like meatballs) and that was honestly nothing to write home about. Not enough sauce and the crust was hard. The salad and salad dressing were great and big portions. Overall price was on higher end for a bad pizza.

    Great service by Lori! Old school red tufted booths. Wine and beer only. We shared a small walnut apple cranberry salad to start. Next time if I feel like a salad for a meal, I will definitely order this This was delicious!!!! I ordered the chicken piccata which is a generous portion. My husband ordered the meat lasagna, another generous portion. Our food was really tasty! We loved loved loved their tiramisu!! We celebrated his birthday and the tiramisi was perfect!! Thank you for such a wonderful meal! Thank you Lori!!!

    Italian Food authentic, amazing customer service 😋 Thank you Chance for making our dinner memorable. Love the chicken basil and pizza 🍕. Will definitely be back.

    Server/host was friendly and courteous. Appetizer was not the best I've had but it was good. Portion was a good size. Pasta dishes were delicious. Server recommendation was on point. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the bathroom. It needs a deep clean. If I lived in the area I would return.
