We came here for a date night with another couple. It was the perfect choice. The interior is beautifully done. We sat on the patio and even in the summer heat it was pleasant. We ordered the brie appetizer and devoured it so quickly I couldn’t even snap a picture! We ordered a mix of cocktails and beer, all were delicious. Two people ordered the burgers and they couldn’t stop raving about them. I tried a French fry and it was perfection. Perfectly seasoned and crisp on the outside, soft on the inside. Two ordered mushroom and truffle dishes, both scrumptious. The food and drinks were outstanding. Service was quick and attentive. Highly recommend dining here.

The service from Erika was very attentive and sincerely wanting to please. They need to work out communication - too many people and one not knowing what the other is doing. I am sure that will be worked out during the remainder of the soft launch. My drink was too sweet, but Erika was quick to fix that, and it turned out great. Our food was delicious, but please do not tout yourself as a new restaurant when you kept the same menu from Avensole. Same dishes prepared the same way. Nice view and breezes from the patio seating. I did not care for the cheesecake as it had a truffle sauce. Very kind of them to serve it complimentary for a special occasion. I am looking forward to the winery opening.

The food was amazing, I got the ribeye and my husband got the wagyu New York steak. The sides: Brussels sprouts, Mac n cheese and mushrooms were the best. We had the table side Caesar salad experience, the gal that made it was so sweet and ensured the dressing was to our par. We will be back.

Had a wonderful dinner during Domenico’s soft opening. The staff provided a great dining experience and delivered exceptional service from beginning to end. We ordered the Beef Tartare for an appetizer and the Beef Wellington and American Wagyu Steak for our entrees- everything was delicious and well presented! For dessert, we ordered the seasonal crumble with ice cream. As for drinks, their Limoncello Martini and Pliny the Elder hit the spot. Overall, I highly recommend checking out this new gem. Cheers and thank you Truffle Pig Winery! We’ll be back soon!

Favorite Italian restaurant in Temecula!! Modern casual luxury ambiance, attentive and friendly staff, beautiful creative drinks, and the most thoughtful and delicious food menu. I LOVED IT!! The table side caesar salad with their 50 yr old family recipe is a must. The truffle presentation with a generous table side shaving over your entree is glorious!!! Reminds me of being in Italy. Their vanilla rum cake was so moist and full of flavor. Your post meal cravings will have you planning to visit again friends and family. Thank you for such a memorable experience! See you again soon!!

I recently visited Domenico’s. The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was cooked to perfection, full of rich flavors, and clearly made with care and passion. The quality and creativity of the cooking truly impressed me. On top of that, the service was just as amazing. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made me feel genuinely welcomed, which really elevated the entire dining experience. It’s rare to find a place that delivers both exceptional food and incredible hospitality at such a high level, but Domenico’s absolutely does. I can’t recommend this spot enough!

I'll start my review with the fact that disabled parking is pathetic. The main parking lot for the restaurant has zero disabled parking spots. The few they have are far, far away from the entrance to the restaurant. There are 4 parking spots directly adjacent to the entrance, which could have easily been designated for disabled. I expected to see major changes to the interior of the restaurant, being they took months to do what they called renovations. The only change I noticed was the previous restaurant reception area and gifts moved to a small podium at the right of entering. Where the original reception area was is now a seating area. I ordered the Ossobuco, which came with polenta. The polenta was COLD, and the Ossobuco was warm at best, chewy. I asked to replace the polenta with a hot order. after 18 minutes of waiting it finally arrived warm. How people have given 5 stars is beyond my comprehension.

The family tried Domenico's out during their soft opening stage. The restaurant has a nice new face lift from previous restaurant. Our server was great as was the rest of the wait staff we interacted with. All of the drinks and food we had was terrific. Don't skip dessert our server recommend the rum cake and the Basque cheesecake and they were both excellent.

We loved this place so much, we came back a second night and it was just as incredible! First night we came in with a party of 7, and the service was spot on. The waitstaff didn't miss a beat, super friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. Handling a big group is no easy task, but they made it look effortless. Let's talk about the food... The steak was fantastic perfectly cooked, juicy, flavorful, everything you want in a great cut of meat. The Caesar salad? Hands down one of the best I've ever had. Fresh, crisp, perfectly dressed. Every single dish that hit our table was delicious, not a single miss. The ambiance is gorgeous, clean, beautiful decor, and a vibe that makes you want to linger. We came back the next night with just my sister and I and were blown away again. Same amazing service, same incredible food. That kind of consistency says a lot. Easily one of the best dining experiences we've had in a long time. Highly recommend!

We met Chef Taylor at the So Cal Chef Open and tried her ribeye skewers. BOMB!!! She took 1st place over a field of amazing chefs. We just had to come try her restaurant!! It did not disappoint!! We sat at the bar and the server, Olivia, was so nice and really knew the menu and wines. We had 2 caviar tastings, ostero and sturgeon, so perfect with a touch of dill in the creme fraiche. We had the lobster tails and they were perfectly cooked. So good without the butter... though the buyter seemed to be infused with lobster flavor as well. Chef Taylor is amazing and I can't wait to try more items on the menu. We stopped by the tasting room and were pleasantly surprised. It used to be Avensole and we didnt care for the wines. The location is beautiful and the wines were so nice, we joined the wine club!! Definitely a MUST try when you are in Temecula!!

The food at Domenico's was deliciously prepared, and I thought that the price was reasonable. We ordered the brussel sprouts (SO GOOD), the ossobucco, lobster tails, and fresh tableside Caesar salad, which was a fun experience. The ingredients were fresh and of quality. The restaurant is decorated beautifully, very modern and elegant aesthetic feel. Our server was great. The bar service was a little slow - it took awhile for us to be provided with a drink list, I had to ask for it.

Newly opened restaurant in the Temecula Wine country area. This used to be the Avensole restaurant that got bought out and now it's called Truffle Pig Winery. I thought the food was better than what Avensole offered. The beet carpaccio was a good starter. Fresh thinly slices of beets with some baguettes. Nice pairing! The table side Caesar salad was the bomb. Love that they add anchovies. The American Wagyu NY strip was the star of the night. Tender and well seasoned. Plus the truffle butter on the side just took it to the next level. Lastly the oysters were fresh! Service was a little bit slower coz this was their soft opening week. But will definitely come back!! Love the new resto they did an overhaul of their decor from the previous Avensole. Definitely a place worth checking out. Reservations are highly recommended

Went for a tasting with my lovely wife at the new Truffle Pig Winery and had lunch at their on-site restaurant, Domenico's. We ate first: Domenico's The inside was decorated very clean and classy. We couldn't help but to take advantage of the beautiful SoCal afternoon and we chose to be seated on their amazing patio. Spacious and a phenomenal space if the weather is good! I ordered the house Domenico Burger which came with fries, and my wife ordered the Bambino wedge salad. What can you say about a salad, other than she said it tasted fresh, crisp and had a lot of flavor. The burger was great, cooked perfectly, and I really like the jalapeños that accompanied that. Nice little heat, but they weren't overly spicy to dominate the whole burger. The fries were really good also which they seem to have quite an original cut almost like a pigtail. Knowing we were tasting wine later, my wife ordered a Rosebery Mule mocktail, which she really enjoyed. Refreshing on a warm day and very fruity. Truffle Pig Winery: This winery is very nice and the members room is very upscale "cigar lounge" atmosphere with a great small patio. Their wines were limited, as this was the first day of their grand opening to the Public. The wines weren't bad, but they weren't good enough to keep me coming back, unfortunately. I like bold reds, I don't really do whites or sweet wines, so if that's your pallet, disregard my "wine" portion of the review, but if you like bold reds, they're not here yet. There are too many great options in Temecula. I'm really hoping that they step up their future wine releases and are able to compete with some of their neighbor wineries, because the property is beautiful and the restaurant was very good. Service was great at the restaurant and the winery. Staff was informative and friendly.

We love the ambience on the patio. Many items that were on the Avensole menu are included on the current menu. I do have to say I was deeply disappointed when we walked in and through the kitchen glass you could see three to four women working without hairnets or even hats. This is a health rule violation for kitchen workers. Avensole was a major offender for hair/beard coverings as well. I was very close to walking back out. We started with the beet salad. Similar if not the same as the previous restaurant. It was noticeably missing a few ingredients. We brought this up to our server and our wine was comped. (2 glasses) For the entree we went with the chicken forcacia sandwich. It came with fries or a small salad. I'm not a French fry person anymore (heart surgery). My wife said they were delicious. I'm giving the restaurant kitchen staff for no hairnets 3 stars. Our server Alexandria we give 5 stars. Great waitstaff service.

I would rate it a 3.5, but not a solid 4. My husband and I visited recently and ordered the burrata, beef wellington, and the veal shank ossobuco. Although the beef wellington was delicious, our other two dishes were 3-stars. The burrata had a nice crust around it, however was quite salty. It might benefit from additional sauce. The ossobuco had very subtle flavors, was almost too bland, however had a really wonderful texture when mixed with the polenta it was served with. As far as beverages, I enjoyed the spicy sicilian cocktail.

5 stars - New Temecula favorite! We had such a lovely lunch at Domenico's at Truffle Pig. We were seated right away on their beautiful patio near the olive tree and fountain; gorgeous setting, thoughtfully designed. I had the Limoncello Martini (bright and refreshing), and my fiancé had the Spicy Sicilian Sunset, good, but could use more heat. Maybe a tajín rim or some jalapeño? We split the grilled cheese with truffle butter and that gorgonzola tomato sauce... I honestly ate the sauce like soup. Unreal. My Caesar salad with salmon was perfectly portioned and cooked, and his fish tacos hit the spot--especially that chipotle aioli. Megan H. was our server and she was fantastic; friendly, helpful, and perfectly timed. We also met the manager, Jennifer, who was warm and welcoming. Great food, beautiful space, and thoughtful service. Can't wait to come back... hopefully for brunch soon!

My husband and I had been looking forward to the soft opening of Truffle Pig's new venture--Domenico's Italian Chop House--and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by warm, attentive staff and captivated by the elegant redesign of the space. It felt elevated yet inviting. We joined friends and shared a variety of dishes: Truffle Sprouts, Mac & Cheese, Yukon Gold Whipped Potatoes, Pig Tail Fries, American Wagyu Filet, Veal Shank Ossobuco, Taleggio & Pappardelle, and Mom's Angel Hair Pasta--and wow! The flavors were bold, thoughtful, and perfectly executed. Prices were reasonable and portions were great. Our personal standouts? The American Wagyu Filet, Taleggio & Pappardelle, Mom's Angel Hair Pasta, and the luscious Rum Cake for dessert. Paired with the Market Red and the refreshing Hog Tie cocktail, it was a dining experience we'll be talking about for a long time. Chef Taylor came out to say hello and chat with us about our favorite dishes--such a personal gesture. We can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. If you're looking for a sophisticated and flavor-packed night out, Domenico's is a must. Highly recommend!

The restaurant decor feels like you're in an Italian restaurant. Sadly though we were not able to enjoy a meal after the hostess refused to seat us (party of 3) inside the restaurant despite there being plenty of tables. Instead we were told we can sit anywhere on the patio which we did next to the fountain. We were then told we could not sit at a table intended for 6 people. So we left the restaurant and drove down to Miramonte winery where we had an amazing time. I would advise Domenico's to re-train the young inexperienced hostess especially when the restaurant was half empty.

Came here for the first time and the food was amazing except for the fact that when they brought a second dish for a family member the steak was way over cooked. Then

We had a great dining experience at Domenico's on our Saturday outing exploring wine country. The restaurant is really nice inside, visually appealing, with ample indoor seating and an even larger covered patio with misters for our summer heat. Despite being fully booked we were seated on the patio right away. Our server was amazing, and gave us her recommendations. We ordered the Brie on pastry with cranberry, blue and blackberry jam and candied walnuts served with crispy baguette slices. YUMMM! We ordered table side Ceasar Salad service, and the preparer explained all the ingredients as she went along. As someone who loves to cook, I really enjoyed this part. Salad was delish! I ordered the chicken parm with angel hair pasta, it was very good. Had a glass of their bubbly Rose, and we ended with complimentary mini cheesecakes for our birthday girls. Can't wait to go back to try the Beef Wellington. The highlight was the musician hired to entertain us with his acoustic guitar and beautiful voice, as we sang to the songs of 60's, 70's and some 80's. Very nice indeed.

From the moment we walked in, everything about our evening at Domenico's exceeded expectations. The atmosphere was lively and the staff was super friendly. Our server was efficient without hovering, just the right balance. Food came out quickly, beautifully plated, and cooked exactly as ordered. Every dish we tried was delicious especially the steak which was perfectly medium-well. The duck was tender, perfectly cooked. The fries were crisp and well-seasoned. The mac and cheese was creamy. The twice-baked potatoes were absolutely awesome. Each place setting was fully equipped with both a fork and a knife. The live band was a highlight of the evening. The volume was perfectly set to add energy without overwhelming the space, and it actually made conversations at the table feel even more enjoyable. It's rare to see such a well-coordinated staff so early in a restaurant's opening. Clearly, there's strong leadership in the kitchen and a commitment to quality from the top down. We're already planning our next visit!

Amazing customer service. Filet was perfect, medium rare and came out hot. Salt and pepper on my steak was perfect. Definitely will come back. Alex the bartender was amazing!

Been here twice and although lovely atmosphere and good service, I found the food just "ok". Had a pasta dish the first time and a soup and grilled Cheese the second time. I thought the foods are overly salted (had to return my soup) and grilled cheese not much on the "grilled". I hope they make some improvements...I so wanted to love the new restaurant!

Let me start by saying the ambiance was nice and the staff were friendly. Our waitress was especially helpful and attentive. However, the live band was way too loud, which made it hard to hear anything--and caused everyone else to talk even louder just to be heard. For a soft opening, the restaurant clearly overextended what the staff and kitchen could realistically handle. There's a lot of work that still needs to be done. One odd detail: they only provide a fork with each meal, which doesn't make sense considering most dishes require a knife. Just include a knife upfront so guests don't have to ask. The kitchen was extremely backed up--food took forever to come out. To make matters worse, they served my mom's meal to another table. She had ordered a medium-well steak, and when they eventually boxed it up for us to take home, it was rare. Had she eaten it at the table, she would have been extremely upset. Other food issues: the duck was undercooked, the fries were undercooked and overly salty, and the mac and cheese wasn't cooked all the way through. The "twice-baked potatoes" were really just potato skins--let's call them what they are. Overall, the food was underwhelming, and the wait times for everything were far too long. We were celebrating birthdays but ended up skipping dessert just to leave early. Even the bathroom was poorly managed--no toilet paper, and no one seemed to be monitoring it. They seem to have a large staff, but there's a noticeable lack of coordination and leadership. I'd recommend the management team try dining here themselves on a busy night to understand the guest experience--especially when it comes to food quality and flow.

So visiting from texas and i made this profile just to give a compliment on your staff. I went to another restaurant and they turned me away due to closing in 15 min. Stumbled upon this establishment, where robin and kylie helped me out. Yall closed at 9 and i showed up probably 5 min to close. Robin and kylie told me to come on in and enjoy the food they did not care they closed in 5 min. Walked me through the whole menu and not one point did i feel rushed out. Awesome staff. Everyone! I wish i lived here this would be my go to spot.

I feel I'm being generous with this rating. With the understanding that they're still in a soft opening stage. It didn't start well from the beginning. There was a singer performing outside. I asked the hostess to seat us in a spot as quiet as possible. She asked us if we wanted to be sat inside. I repeated wherever is quietest is best. She proceeded to walk us to the patio area where the singer was about 25 feet away. There were so many tables further away from the singer! On to the food! We opted for beef Wellington and mushroom risotto for our entrees and calamari for an appetizer. The waitress was the highlight of the evening. She was sooo sweet and helpful. Polite as ever, she informed us they were out of a few times including Beef Wellington. Instead, we opted for the wagyu ribeye. For an extra $3 you can add a sauce or $2 for butter. We chose a truffle butter. My husband found the steak bland. I couldn't get any hint of truffle on the steak. It was a decent steak but it didn't taste like a wagyu cut. The mushroom risotto was missing mushrooms! I wish there was some tangible pieces of mushroom in there. It was too oily, and definitely not creamy. Would NOT recommend! The calamari was my favorite! Very tender and perfectly crisped. This is a must order! Truffle fries were a unique shape but palatable. I would've preferred a think cut fry to maximize the crunch. Their moon shaped fry doesn't allow for a nice crunch. Truffle brussel sprouts were tasty but the truffle flavor was lacking. Overall, truffle flavor was lacking in all their dishes. You could pay $30 for shaved truffles but you can't call a truffle dish if it doesn't have enough truffle flavors. Would be willing to come back and try their beef Wellington. The gal next to me ordered it.... It looked delish!

Knowledgeable staff, phenomenal team. So excited to see what else chef has in store. One of the best Wellington's I've ever had. All the dishes were awesome. A delightful vibe, trendy but relaxed. The market red and cocktails were awesome. I will be back here again and often.

There were 5 of us & we all loved our meals ( steaks, Chicken parm & Osso Bucco). It's hard to find Osso Bucco on a menu it's usually a special. It was fab! The guys thought the steaks were better than The Cowboy! It's in wine country so it's a beautiful setting in the vineyards. The service was exceptional all around! We could not have had a better dining experience and look forward to our next visit!

Celebrated our 54th Anniversary here tonight. First off, definately not your high end white table cloth style restaurant. With that said, we thought the style and decor was definately Temecula Wine Country. Outdoor patio with the misters worked great! Now as for food. We had the beet carpaccio, forest risotto, beet salad, filet and rib eye. Portions are great!! Food was prepared as ordered, great taste and these dishes highly recommended! However food delivery out of the kitchen was a bit slow on the delivery. Zachary our waiter was attentive, right on for recommendations and the only blip was the desert (cheesecake) which we found a hair in! Zach though made it right and said totally unacceptable (he saw the hair). Other than that blip, everything else was fine. Would recommend and will return.

I will start by saying, we went during the soft opening. Needs a lot of work. Not understanding the great reviews here. Wife and I came for a date night. We liked coming here previously (Avensole), and food was good. Ambiance and staff were nice. That is where the 1 star comes in. My wife and I enjoy saving up for a nice, quality meal and are willing to spend the money, especially on steak. For a place that is supposedly a Chop House... Man do they have a lot of work to do. Drinks were fine, nothing to complain about, though not once did I get a refill. As far as "chop house" quality... not even close. Wife got chicken parm... it had a fat, fleshy piece that did not cook well... why was this not cut off? And the pasta was precut for a 6 year old. Mac N Cheese looked so good... unfortunately thats as far as it went. It was extremely bland. Wife described it as noodles and milk. They might as well have added Velveeta for flavor. I ordered the New York (medium rare. This was really where it fell short. It was obvious the meat was far from quality and had a large fatty piece opposite to the bone that I had to cut around. I understand steak will have fat, but I have never seen a New York this bad... not even at the grocery store. Next, the way it was cooked. Again I say, Chop house? It was ordered Medium Rare... Served Blue borderline rare and lacked flavor. I am not one to send food back and by the time I realized how undercooked this was, I had completely cut meat off the bone and around the fatty part. I even sent photos to multiple people who love a good steak... all agreed that it was far from cooked correctly. As far as service, Server was nice, but over all, the entire staff was lost and didn't know their table numbers, brought wrong food and drinks to our table 3 times, and we never got drink refills or even offered. Personally, If I want steak, a good chop house, I would not return. What we paid did not equivalate to the steep price paid.

So I reading some of the reviews and I don't get it. We have been twice. The burger is wonderful! We had pork the first time and it was also great and that was the soft opening night. The second time we had to get the burger again and it was exactly as it was the first time. Delicious! The fries also great. We split a rib eye the second time and it was cooked perfectly and super tender. The chimichurri , not sure of spelling, was tasty on top as well. We got the table side Cesar for a party of four and it was one of the best salads ever! Plenty of dressing which I am a stickler for. Our servers were all so nice and friendly. No fakeness at all. I didn't drink as I was driving but the other three said the wine and cocktails were tasty as well. We will certainly be back.

This is an amazing experience. We got the Beet Carpaccio to start and it was excellent. Pairs well with the Truffle Pig White Wine. We also ordered the table side Caesar Salad and it was the absolute best Caesar Salad I've ever had. For the main entrees I had the Pork Milanese and words can't describe how amazing it was. My husband got the Duck and he loved it. Great experience overall.

Lobster was just ok Broccoli not edible Beef Wellington good Wine good Service was fair and no silverware in table when seated Went there for our Anniversary Was told there would. Be live music but none Overall disappointing experience

Patty F.

Yelp
Food was good, pricey for what you got. Service was good, table side Caesar was overrated and not that good. Brussels sprouts and calamari were delicious, beef Wellington was ok and large enough to share. As for the ambience, probably the worst part, as the seating was uncomfortable for a chop house. arrangement was ok . Decor was nice and trendy. The largest downside was the staff associates breaking/eating at a table in the dining area, next to patrons and drinking alcohol; with name tags on and work attire. There should be a dress code stated on the website for patrons. We saw ball caps, and men wearing tank tops, We plan to give it another shot at some point.

What a great spot! Came in for lunch and from start to finish all staff was so attentive and hospitable. Enjoyed a pint of Pliny and had a steak flatbread that was amazing. The GM stopped by my table and thanked me for coming in which I appreciated! Looking forward to coming back for dinner!

It's a new place food is amazing and the service is top notch. Our server, Vickie B, made us feel at home. Always checking on use to make sure we were good. She was great to talk with and super personable. Great place to get some good food in Temecula.

I usually don't write reviews, but I felt disrespected by the kitchen staff at this place, service with David was great, he is the best! But food was not good!! Food took forever to come out, I ordered the Duck, and I asked them in advance that I would like the Duck skin crispy, the plate came to the table after 45 minutes and the skin wasn't crispy at all and the Duck looked raw in the middle, I don't like to send food back!, but the waiter insisted so I did, everyone at the table was done with their food and they all had something bad to say about their food too. It took almost 25 minutes for the plate to come back to me again, the duck skin came back the same and duck itself was obviously rawer than before!! I will never come back to this place again, I felt very mocked and disrespected by the kitchen staff!!!

I had been here previously before, so honestly did not know what to expect but we are not wine, drinkers or alcohol drinkers at all so I cannot speak for the alcohol. We both got mocktails, which one did come with alcohol that we had to send back easy fix. The food itself was not all that great but for the price we made sure to eat it. It seemed to be mistake after mistake, we both ordered lobster tails with our steaks, which only one came out with the lobster tail (so that had to be fixed) we both ordered steaks, but my husband got the completely wrong steak but at this point, we were just over it so didn't even say anything but made sure the waiter took it off, as he had ordered some type of bone in steak and got some type of boneless. The mac & cheese was very basic and lacked flavor, creamy yes but some spices and actually baked top would have been nice. They charge to add butters which I feel was absolutely ridiculous but we still did it. The broccolini was nothing special. The fries were probably the best thing.I feel the food was basic, lacked flavor, the presentations need more effort. Our waiter was nice he did seem frazzled but ultimately I would not be back. Maybe after the place has been open for a while to get out the kinks or maybe if they get a new chef. For now the dinner was simply not for me.

Absolutely phenomenal experience! Renee took care of me and she was extremely attentive and informative! Ordered the Brie en Croute which was an amazing combination of flavors and very tasty. Ordered the filet for my entree and...absolutely speechless! Hands down the best steak I've ever had! Cooked medium rare with a side of demi-glace, it truly melts in your mouth! Beyond amazing! Chocolate torte for dessert to finish off a perfect meal! Overall an awesome experience! Delicious food, a wide range of options for drinks, and sensational staff! Will definitely be returning!

I'll start my review with the fact that disabled parking is pathetic. The main parking lot for the restaurant has zero disabled parking spots. The few they have are far, far away from the entrance to the restaurant. There are 4 parking spots directly adjacent to the entrance, which could have easily been designated for disabled. I expected to see major changes to the interior of the restaurant, being they took months to do what they called renovations. The only change I noticed was the previous restaurant reception area and gifts moved to a small podium at the right of entering. Where the original reception area was is now a seating area. I ordered the Ossobuco, which came with polenta. The polenta was COLD, and the Ossobuco was warm at best, chewy. I asked to replace the polenta with a hot order. after 18 minutes of waiting it finally arrived warm. How people have given 5 stars is beyond my comprehension.
