About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Great for scenic views

Orange County's newest upscale dining experience is now open on Lake Mission Viejo! Well known for our iconic location in Long Beach, Domenico’s was one of the first restaurants to serve pizza in California and is famous for our legendary pizzas and amazing Italian and American inspired dishes. Domenico's on the Lake is an upscale take on our original location featuring new steak and seafood entrees, while still featuring the original recipes that have made us an institution in Southern California.

NOTE: OUR LAKESIDE PATIO HAS LIMITED SEATING AND CANNOT BE GUARANTEED BECAUSE THE DEMAND OFTEN EXCEEDS AVAILABILITY. PATIO SEATING REQUESTS ARE SUBJECT TO A WAIT.

The food was above average, took forever to get cocktails and they were wonky. But, what will keep us from returning was the noise level. It was too much and we were seated on the patio. I’m told it’s even worse inside.

This restaurant is our family favorite and we have never been disappointed with the food, the service or the commitment to quality. This visit was for our daughters birthday and everything was outstanding, including the beautiful view of the lake.

I handpicked this restaurant to celebrate my son’s law school graduation because of its outdoor patio. When we got there we were told that even though I had a reservation and I requested the outdoor patio, we could not sit there. I would not have chosen this restaurant had I known this. It ruined out celebration.

I was meeting with a friend I hadn’t seen in over a year and they were very accommodating about just letting us sit and talk. The owner came by and said hi as usual

The food was really good. This was our second visit and the server was absolutely wonderful and did an amazing job. Manager came by our table to make sure everything was going well. The ambiance was perfect and when we left the restaurant was packed. The service and food were definitely worth the money and we will definitely return soon.
