We had a horrible experience at Dominic’s. Reservations at 8:30. Had a short wait until our table was ready. When we were sat, I told the manager my daughter was joining us a bit later. He said no problem, would bring an extra setting when she arrived. The problems came with our waiter. He came to our table at 8:45 and asked for our drink order. Asked a few questions about the wine list but he was completely uninterested in answering them. Brought wine back to our table, poured the glasses which he does not serve to us, but just left them on the end of the table. Then he asked for our order. We said that we were just going to order an appetizer and wait for our daughter for the entree. THEN he stated that the kitchen would close in 10 minutes so we could not do that. At this point, we were so insulted by the waiters lack of engagement then to come to find out we didn’t even have time to order (this was not stated in our reservations or by anyone else who sat us), that we got up and left. Went to Charlie Gittos then. Greatly warmly, worked with our schedule and had a lovely dinner!

Another enjoyable dining experience at Dominic's. Service and food were excellent. Being a busy Friday night, the noise level was higher than, usual, but the tables are spaced far enough apart that normal conversation cold be easily heard.

We had a wonderful family dinner of 9 adults celebrating our 60th anniversary. We like Dominic (and Dominic’s) so much so that we drove home a few days early from Orange Beach Alabama just because there was no place we would have rather celebrated than at Dominic’s ! Lovely evening❣️and the best Cosmo I have ever had! It’s perfect! And if you are really lucky you could be serenaded by Dominic! What a treat❣️

Very relaxed atmosphere. Dining here is an event. Allow more time than you are probably used to from start to finish. And that is okay! With most of life these days concerned with how fast we can move on to the next thing, dining at Dominic’s reminds us to slow down and enjoy their excellent offerings.

Dominic's never disappoints! We dined on a Friday night, and the dining rooms despite the late hour, were still very busy. However, the staff was welcoming and attentive during dinner. For dinner, we had an eggplant parmesan appetizer and salad followed by our main course of veal piccata and tenderloin with lobster. Everything we ordered was freshly prepared, delicious, and served in a timely manner. The restaurant atmosphere was pleasant despite the business of the dining room. We even were treated to an excellent vocal rendition of "O Sole Mio" sung by Dominic Galati! Dominic's is a welcoming restaurant in the best of Italian tradition where you are never rushed and encouraged to sip and savor your meal.

We loved all of the food we ordered. It was delicious. Cannelloni, Osso Bucco, and Veal Piccata, plus apps and a wonderful dessert. Our servers were on the ball and very congenial. They took care of anything we needed, but anticipated most of it. We are not from Saint Louis, but will definitely go back for another visit to Dominic's the next time we're in town. Thanks for a lovely evening!

I made a reservation for 8:15, it was the earliest available. We arrived on time and ordered a drink. The waiter came back at 8:25 and said the kitchen was closing at 9:00 and if we wanted to eat we needed to order. The food was good but for the price they shouldn’t rush. Service was bad. I’ll be hard pressed to return.

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this place is. If you want authentic Italian and to be treated like family this is the only place to go. We entered and Mr Galati greeted us personally. He walked us thru his dining room and allowed us to pick the table we wanted. That was just the start. The service was impeccable and the food was even better. Wine selection is to die for. Don’t even get me started on their espresso martini……amazing!! We were fortunate enough to meet his daughter that was running the bar at the time. We had an amazing conversation and she shared some family history. Truly making us feel like they really wanted us there. We weren’t just another ticket being fed. Mr Galati, after some coaxing even serenaded my wife in his amazing, authentic, Italian singing voice. All of this was just because. It wasn’t our anniversary, we weren’t there for a special occasion. We had just heard how good it was and we wanted to find out for ourselves. If you’ve never been I suggest you go. It will be the last Italian restaurant you “try”. Nothing else on the Hill even comes close to the experience provided by Dominic’s. We are now forever loyal customers of this wonderful establishment. Just go and thank me later.

Dominic's restaurant has a really nice retro feel. When you walk in you are transported to a different time...old world atmosphere, brat packish feel. Business casual is the attire, great food and an attentive staff. The owner went to every table to introduce himself, and to check on the experience we were having, we will definitely go back!
