Went there on a friend’s suggestion. No complain about the food but NEVER coming back to this racist AF place. I had politely called our server because I wanted to order dessert, which she earlier told us was not on the menu. I didnt realize she was still taking orders on our adjacent table- I thought she was done. So I called her. She turned and gave me the nastiest of looks and yelled ‘I’m in the middle of an order!!’ She could have politely said that she’ll get right back to me - i get it that it was a busy day but you cannot treat your customers like that. I have been to high end restaurants all over the world and never been mistreated ….and this place isn’t even high end (not that that would justify offensive behavior!). Also, this place is way too noisy for my liking. Anyway, great place for white elderly people.

This visit was delicious like all the other visits here. Great food, and they had us in and out quickly without feeling rushed if that makes sense to you.

A big favorite of ours. Fish fry Friday is a good deal and the best haddock around. It can be crowded so you will need a reservation. Expect to pay for the entrees and specials. We got a bottle of wine 2 entrees desert and coffee. $75 per person.Vegetarian options: Quite a bit of the menus does not include meat or fish. I am not vegetarian but like to eat meatless meals. I've never asked about the ingredients in the sauces.Kid-friendliness: There is always families with kids and they give a choice from a prize basket. Kids have to sit at the table as there is no place for them to run.

The food was great. Friendly waitress staff. Disappointed with the following: 1. Salad not included with a dinner. I get it, inflation, and trying to keep base prices optically lower. 2. Skinny pc of chocolate cake for desert. Half the size that I'm used to. 3. $2:00 service charge for using a credit card. Sorry to say I pulled one dollar of the tip to help make up for this "surcharge."

Great service, fantastic food, bustling atmosphere.
Went with a large group for lunch. The waitress handled all the special requests, bar and food orders very well. Food came out quickly and portions were very generous and delicious. Wish I had noted the waitresses name so I could mention her. Looking forward to returning soon.

So this didn't start out well. Showed up for our reservation a few minutes early, the hostess station is in a weird spot, half way into the restaurant and there was literally no place to go while we waited for our table. The bar area was full but we eventually squeezed into a spot to wait. Got drinks that were too expensive and the Negroni was weak. Got seated about 25 min later which wasn't a big deal, busy Friday night. Inside is beautifully decorated, nice ambiance. Cold bread and butter so no spreading the butter on the bread. Artichoke French app was underwhelming. The artichoke hearts were big and tender, but you expect a punch of lemon in the sauce which it lacked, so was a bit bland. The mains absolutely made up for it though. I got chicken cacciatore that was excellent. Tender chicken, onions and peppers were great, sauce was perfect for dipping some bread. Nice. Wifey got the Grandma's Sauce, pork ragu style sauce with a meatball. It was delicious! The sauce was flavorful, with big chunks of tender pork and the meatball was big and tasty. I'd go back again, skip drinks and apps and just get the entree.

Went there last night with 3 other friends. I wanted to compare this place to Fratelli's in Avon. This comparison was food only as both places have a nice atmosphere as well as great service. I myself prefer the thicker pasta sauce at Fratelli's than the sauce at Mr. Dominic's which is a bit thinner. I do recall one of my friends liking Mr. Dominic's better than Fratelli's though. I guess it comes down to personal preference. :)

The food was outstanding, services was excellent and the ambiance was what you would except for an Italian Restaurant. A Great place to go for Italian food.

5 stars! Always delicious! Best food we’ve ever had! You won’t be disappointed! From veal piccata, chicken parm, pasta Josephine to veal French, Mr. Dominic’s delivers flavor!
