"For 40 Years, I’ve Been Cooking with Heart"

– And I’m Just Getting Started"

We’re a family owned and operated restaurant, and since opening in 1985, our goal has stayed the same: to serve honest, delicious Italian food at a fair price.

Over the years, Dominic’s has become more than just a restaurant—it’s become a part of people’s lives. We’ve seen first dates turn into anniversaries, little kids grow up and bring families of their own, and regulars become like family. We’ve shared in your celebrations, your milestones, and your everyday moments. When you walk through our doors, you’re home.

And yes—after all these years, I’m still in the kitchen, cooking with the same passion I had on day one. We’re BYOB, we don’t cut corners, and we always cook with heart.
