The food was just okay. Incredibly Overpriced. They serve frozen lasagna - for nearly $25 - and it took forever to arrive to our table. And by forever, I mean everyone else at the table had already been served and finished nearly half of their plates. The lasagna was also not warmed thoroughly. Very disappointing.

An unbelievable fabulous place - excellent service provided by knowledgeable staff. We asked for recommendations on wine and food and all the suggestions were fabulous. We look forward to returning soon.

Beware of foreign travelers, we saw the cashier pretend to pass the credit card and mention that it does not work for two reasons probably: to avoid paying the fees related to the use of a credit card by a customer and probably out of fear when people speak English with an accent. Pizza is good but price ridiculously high place not very clean

Really enjoyed my time here at Dominic’s. Came here with friends during a trip to Oceanside. I’ve been to this restaurant several times before, but made it a note this time to review it properly. The staff is always been very welcoming and treat you like family. The food is decent, enjoyed the pizza and lobster bisque. The restaurant is very large and has a nice charming atmosphere to it with plenty of pictures that make it feel like a rustic Italian setting.Food - 14/20Service - 8/10Atmosphere - 7/10Total - 29/40
Very friendly service, very pleasant, owner and waitress! I ordered Seabass with risotto, and it was fantastic! I asked to make it medium rare, and they did it! And risotto was al dente just as it supposed to be! The chocolate cake was out of this world! If you just walk to the restaurant, it’s not impressive, but the service and food fantastic!

Nice ambience, able to sit outside in December (California). Views of Oceanside Harbor. Bit pricey ($75 for two meals and two drinks but tax and tip made it $97) but guess that location justifies it.

I have been coming to Dominic's for 15 years - I am sad to say I am "very" dissappointed by the new menu $$$ which is "off the chart " expensive and the food actually wasn't that good. I know the Dom and and am sad that evidently sonething has changed there which is very noticeable: $$$We have swiched to a lesser known and less advertised italian restauart on the coast 1 that is "by far" prices and quality - a +5 with awesome food btw.

Good service, exquisite pizzas... lasagnas a little small. There is only one bathroom for both sexes. But it is a good place, the food is delicious and good service.

What a hidden gem. Tons of seating both inside and out. Outside provides a view of the marina. Lots of great Italian dishes to choose from including a number of vegetarian options. They even provided Italian music for atmosphere.

We had a late lunch, a house salad and a small pizza. Both were great. The salad had cucumber and black olives as well as other regular salad items. It was quiet between normal meal times. They have a great outside seating area but I was cold so we sat inside.

A healthy 4 stars. First and foremost, a shout-out to our server who was one of the friendliest servers I've met. She is also a great ambassador of her home country so kudos to you!!They are dog-friendly. We had reservations and arrived half an hour early but got seated right away. There were 3 cars in our party and we all managed to get parking in the parking lots around the pier without issue for around 8 pm.The food was very very good. We ordered a lot of things - the caprese, the mozzarella in carozza, the new England clam chowder as appetizers, and the Mediterranean salad, the lobster ravioli, penne al forno, and the cappellini al pomodaro. The best of them all was the clam chowder followed by the complimentary bread sticks. Simply delicious and an absolute chef's kiss. Everything else was also very good. I had the lobster ravioli and can attest that it was creamy with a hint of vodka sauce. My aunt couldn't stop commenting on how creamy and delicious her penne al forno was. The entrees were very pretty heavy so we got a lot of leftovers. We ended the meal with the lemon gelato and the bombe. The gelato was very lemony and fresh. The bombe was a dessert to share with chocolate, vanilla, almonds, cherries...utter delicious but we should've left more stomach space for it.All in all, this was a great place to bring family to. Their food is very good, their servers are friendly, parking isn't much of an issue and you can get your dogs! You also get a lot of leftovers.We will be back for the pizzas!P.S. if you love clam chowder, definitely order it here.P.P.S if you don't like clam chowder, try it here and you may be converted!
