    Food and service was good, not spectacular. Nothing wrong and a good solid Italian restaurant. Will continue to go there for their food.

    Dominics Trattoria has all the important aspects all together. The quality of the food is on point. Made with care and execution. It feels a little 90's in the place but it is located in a nice area. Excellent wine list. Staff is very nice and not stuffy. I would love to go back and try more dishes.

    Service was friendly and attentive. This is a fine every day restaurant but I would not choose it for a special occasion. Decor is dated but comfortable. Food was good but not memorable. Entrees were overpriced for the overall experience. Salads were very good.

    Disappointing. The food was just OK. The broccoli and potato sides were outstanding! The salmon was dry. The salad was terrible and over dressed. We had to ask for Parmesan cheese. The waiter had no waiter skills. He never smiled. He never came to check on our table. He complained that we did not ask for separate checks when ordered. Sir - if it is such a big deal, why didn’t you ask us when we ordered?

    Usually a good experience, but this was terrible. As we were the first people to be seated in the main dining room, we ordered drinks and food immediately and were served drinks quickly. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get and eat our full first course of toasted ravioli, eggplant Parmesan and 2 salads. Because our waiter got busy and did not come back to our side of the room, we asked our wonderful busman a couple times for our food, as we needed to be quick. Eventually our entrees were being served but we had to leave. When we asked to speak with management, she came over and told us it was our fault that we did not request a rush and then claimed we were lying about being the first seated in the dining room. Never before have we experienced something like this at such a great restaurant. Very disappointing evening!

    Ordered four dishes to share family style. Pappardelle alla Bolognese was cooked perfectly (my favorite), and I also enjoyed Lobster risotto (creamy and generous chunks of lobster), chicken parm (chicken was moist with tasty crust) and Linguini with clams (light and delicious broth) . By far our best meal while visiting St Louis! Staff was very accommodating, despite making reservations at their Clayton restaurant on accident. Would highly recommend!

    Party of 6 for dinner. Server was arrogant and terse. Didn’t believe us when we told him that two of us (honestly) had birthdays on same day. Manager was rude and dismissive of our complaints about the service. Would not return. Too many better Italian restaurants in town to have to be treated poorly. Very few diners that evening. Should have been a red flag. Definitely gone downhill since our last visit.

    An overall excellent experience, everyone was very happy with their food and the service. It does get a little to loud and if all the tables are filled it could get difficult to hold a conversation at normal speaking volumns.

    The food was excellent as always. Our service was outstanding! Our server clearly was well experienced and knew the menu thoroughly. She managed a very busy restaurant well. The owner stopped by to check on our evening which was a very gracious touch. He even was refilling water glasses and wine as he made his way around the dining room. We are never disappointed at Dominic’s. This night was no different.

    We had to wait a long time between salad and entre. I am gluten free and they breaded the chicken when I asked them not to. They offered to re-do the meal, but by that time I just did not want to wait longer. I ate the wild rice and took the chicken home for someone else. I do not blame it on the waitress. She was very nice and had given the correct order. They gave us a free birthday dessert. I would be willing to try it again, but I would order something different.

    In addition to delivering a fabulous dinner, the restaurant had to respond to a tornado warning by escorting all of the diners to the building basement. The staff handled this calmly and efficiently, turning this into a short interlude that did not detract from our dining experience.

    We dined in the room with the bar and had a marvelous evening. Service was excellent; all four of us thoroughly our food. I had the lasagna special which we laughingly said was enough for four adults and it was so good I had a hard time not snarfing up every bite! My salad was crisp and tasty. My husband had the veal chop and he said it was perfect. Several desserts looked amazing but my stomach just couldn’t take any more goodness! Next time I want dessert too! The ambience in the bar area is perfect. We highly recommend!

    In St. Louis and needed to entertain a fairly large group. Found this restaurant on yelp and took a leap of faith. They knocked it out of the park. Don’t let location fool you. It was on ground floor of an executive high rise apartment building. They did a great job. Food was amazing.
