Domenic's Bistro and Wine Bar

Really great celebration dinner - Every bite, every morsel absolutely delicious! Kitchen staff is knocking it out of the park! Braciola was even better than Nonna's. Halibut was expertly prepared. Our server, Greg, paid close attention and made our celebration even better. I must mention, the bathroom was sparkling clean! I returned for another meal and was not disappointed. We paired crab cakes with frito Misto app - absolutely delicious! Our server Josh showed that the entire wait staff is on top of their game. Domenic's will certainly be my go to place in Foco!

First time here, last time. Food was disappointing. Especially for the price. Also, did not appreciate the 2% add-on for kitchen staff. My wife rarely comments about her food but during the drive home last night she told me that her Caesar salad was served warm. Everyone knows that Caesar salad is typically served cold and crispy on a chilled plate. The crab cakes appetizer (2 for $14) were so way off. Mostly breadcrumbs. Did not hold together in the plate as soon as they were touched with a fork. Even our friends commented and they had a different app but noticed ours. Whatever crab was there was not detectable. The flavor was overwhelmed by the seasoning inside the crab ball (pic atttached) as well as the overpowering sauce served under the crab balls. Salad is not included with your entree. Side salads are priced at $8. My Mediterranean side salad was quite good and the portion was large. My Beef Braciole entree was overwhelmed with an overpowering non-traditional tomato based sauce. The green beans that accompanied the Braciole were terribly salty, and I like salt, but these were just way over the top. I had no alcohol. My wife had two glasses of Sauvignon Blanc ($12 each). No dessert. So the crab cake app, her Mussels and Caesar side without added protein, my Braciole dish, two soft drinks (Arnold Palmer - no free refills - they charge for each) - $108 before tip and kitchen gratuity. This said, glad we had reservations. We arrived at 6:00 and it was packed. Maybe my expectations are too high.

Stopped in for happy hour and stayed for dinner. Everything we had was good. Was a bit of a loud environment. Great drinks. They do have a kitchen surcharge. And the menu mentions a plate sharing fee. Just an FYI on those.

Fantastic food and service. I did not expect to be blown away by green beans, but here we are. Cocktails are top notch, the apps and entrees. All of it. The owners were present both times I visited, and that hands-on approach makes all the difference. Had a minor issue with seating. But they were more than accommodating to make things right. Extra busy time of year. Attentive, dialed-in service is how restaurants become great and stay that way.

Disappointing first visit. I ordered Buttermilk Chicken Piccata. The meal came out and the chicken was terribly overcooked. Second go was much better, but it was basically a friend chicken tender and noodles, which I thought was very overpriced at $26!! That's an expensive lunch, in my opinion. The new location was very nice and it looks like they're putting in a patio.

Our first time in their new location. The food was excellent. I had the daily risotto which was rich and delicious. My partner had the cavatappi arabiatta, also excellent. Our drinks were perfectly made and very flavorful. I had the spicy pear; my partner had a dirty tangaray martini. House salad was also very good and a side one was plenty for both of us. I had only two complaints: 1) the music was much too loud (like the choices) and 2) the booths were kinda tight and didn’t need to be. We will definitely go back.

This place was amazing!! Food was delicious. We came here for dinner and I had the Crispy Pork Belly, which was braised pork belly, brussels sprouts, maple, chèvre, and balsalmic. I loved this dish it had an amazing combination of flavors and textures from the crispy pork to the smooth chèvre. We also had the cheesecake which was also amazing very fluffy and creamy tasted like they just made fresh. I did not get a picture of that because we ate it too quickly. Definitely coming back here again!!

Showed up at 4:30 on a Thursday. Hostess was less than impressive as she told me she would see if she could “accommodate a walk in” (party of two, mind you). The bar (three working behind the bar) top was full, but there were plenty of empty tables/booths (six that I noticed upon walking in). The wait staff (three that I observed) at that hour were working, although had time to go out the front door and hang out for a few minutes. They also had time to chat amongst themselves as patrons trickled in. Didn’t appear that an additional party of two was going to run them ragged. Hostess of the year kept shooting me looks as though she despised me and had done me the favor of the year…at 4:30 on a Thursday…in Fort Collins. Dinner was fantastic. Wine was fantastic. Waiter was fantastic. Final bill was a bit pricey for two, but overall a good experience and worth the dollars. Just get rid of your rude hostess.

This lively locale became one of our go-to spots during our 3mos stay in Fort Collins this yr. After literally running around w/ a toddler 4 days a wk, Domenic's was a welcoming & comfortable atmosphere (friendly, knowledgeable bartenders), w/ good wine (Pinot Noir my fav), & tasty bar food during Happy Hour (really enjoyed the Margherita Pizza). Thank you Domenics! Can't wait to visit again during our CO stay next yr!

Overall it was a nice experience. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere is great. We ordered the duck and pork tenderloin. The duck was really great and juicy. The pork was good the first few bites, but dried out very quickly since it was pre sliced and cooked. It would be better and hold juices more if one piece and a less cooked. For dessert we did a tiramisu and espresso martini. The tiramisu was delicious. The martini was good (they do a not sweet version), but it is a pet peeve when martinis don't come nearly to the top.

Definitely the best restaurant in southern foco, one of the better restaurants in town. We make it a habit of going when visiting. ! The filet mignon is superb, truffle fries, picatta and buchetta also notable Friendly staff, and the new location is cool and unique

I have been a few times to dine in, and it has been okay, probably three stars. Tonight we ordered a pizza, picked it up right away (it was not sitting), and the crust tasted stale. It was chewy and soggy at the same time. A pizza that is more than twice as much as Domino's should at least have better crust. The toppings are good quality, and the sauce is passable, but I will not be going back.

I was sadden by my experience. My friend took me here because it's her favorite restaurant and while the drinks are good and the calamari or mediocre... Kind of rubbery. I was mostly saddened by the pizza that she expressed to be her favorite pizza and came out quite burnt. We told the waitress that it was burnt and while they offered to remake the pizza, we had already been there for quite some time and decided to try to eat the pizza. Each bite did taste burnt. And when she came to clear the plate, we had eaten less than half. We did pay full price for this pizza and we saw others with a pizza that was not burnt. I was sadden by the food and the interactions that occurred this evening.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! I went to go check out Domenic's for lunch the very first time and it will be the LAST! My server was Makayla and she stole money from my debit card. The total transaction for my lunch was $27.55. I put $0.00 Tip on my debit card receipt because I gave my server Makayla a 20% cash tip ($7.00). See picture of my receipt. The transaction cleared my bank the next day for $32.55. Makayla added a UN-Authorized Tip for $5.00 on my debit card! I already gave her cash tip and she still tried to steal money from me. I went back to the restaurant the following business day and complained to the manager/owner name Ryan. Ryan ended up giving me the full refund for the $7 cash tip + the $5 unauthorized debit card tip. So, if you decided to go eat at this restaurant and Makayla was your server, you better check your bank account the next day. Again, BEWARE!!

Meh. Food is mediocre, prices are high, and a waitstaff that obviously would rather be elsewhere. At least the happy hour crab cakes were good. Won't be back.

Everything was delectable, the water cups were fun and heavy and sleek, the pizza was great and customizable, and the chocolate soufflé was unbelievably perfect!! Need to go back ASAP

Always a reliable place to grab a meal. The braciole was great. Best thing that I have had here. The pasta dishes are great too.

The new location is amazing and they've revamped the menu to boot! Great bar area. I've been to the new location twice and both times we had excellent servers. We'll be back again very soon! Duck was excellent, as was the pork saltimbocca the last time I was there. Very nice and diverse wine selection as well.

I've been a fan for years, but they have really upped their game in their new location, just a few feet from the old one. Try the Parmesan Crusted Scallops ( lightly crispy on the outside, smooth and buttery on the outside) and the Shrimp and Grits which was surprisingly complex and flavorful. Don't skip dessert. The tiramisu is not to be missed. The servers are professional and attentive.

I started with a delicious chicken noodle soup with yummy house bread to soak up the broth. Braciole was the word tonight. Beef, prosciutto, roasted garlic and mozzarella. Melt in your mouth over creamy Yukon mashed. Prepared perfectly. Wife had the mussels and thoroughly enjoyed them. Service was top notch and the patio was a wonderful al fresco experience. 5 Stars all the way.

Really attractive place. My friend and I sat at the bar for a glass of wine. Had to wait a bit before being asked for our order. Once we got our wine we were never spoken to again until our glasses were empty and the bartender asked if we wanted a refill. No one checked if we needed more water (unfortunately the glasses are opaque so no way to tell if they're empty, without asking), or wanted to order food, or even how we liked the wine. Didn't feel welcome so not inclined to return.

We had sausage bolognese and baked cavatappi arrabiata. The gluten free pasta was a little overcooked but the sauces were outstanding. However, the chocolate souffle was absolutely divine and worth a trip by itself!! Definitely recommend.

The service and food were excellent. Nice new buildout in a shopping center but there was construction outside on the patio when this is complete, the restaurant will be a 4.5. The meatloaf and pasta bolognese were very good.

Always yummy and great young adult atmosphere. Clean house, clean bathrooms. No loud annoying children

Great food and drinks. The only constructive feedback I have is the wait staff congregating at the corner of the bar chatting as opposed to waiting on the customers. There were multiple times that I would see the staff chatting as opposed to helping customers who were lacking food or a drink.

Quiet Tuesday evening. No dinner plans. Dropped in to my favorite neighborhood bar and grill. Staff is always friendly and efficient. Service quick and helpful with selection of menu items plus 5 chef's specials. I chose 6 ounce filet. See pic. Pittsburgh style Accompanied by a great valpocella.

Made a reservation for my husband's birthday 6 days in advance. When we arrived, we were placed at a table for two right next to the front door, which meant we were constantly surrounded by people getting to the bar, wait persons squeezing by with trays, and the freakin' noise is awful. I wanted to run out of there because it was overwhelming. The chaos, the noise, and the fact that I had specified a special occasion that was completely ignored really upset me. It was weird there was no chianti offered (Italian restaurant) and the only bread available was in an appetizer. We had to yell at each other to be heard. Why do restaurants do this????? On the other hand, the service was excellent, the wines we ordered were really good (particularly the Sangiovese), and the food was very, very good. Arancini small plate was excellent. House salad was very good. My husband loved the lasagna. We ordered the honey marscapone cheesecake for a dessert, which was not offered, even though I had specified in the reservation it was a birthday. It was tasty. The crust was quite tough and better dealt with using fingers rather than utensils. Since they moved the atmosphere has changed a lot and I wish I would have known this prior to making our reservation. As I said, the food is great, but even with good service, I didn't feel appreciated as a customer. Bummer.

Best filet I've ever had. Highly recommend. Their mocktails are also super tasty! We sat at the bar because the table wait was too long. It was a bit loud and slightly difficult to have a conversation but the food made up for that.

One of my wife and my favorite places. Always delicious and friendly staff and atmosphere.

Best food and service! Dillion makes us keep coming back! Everyone there does a great job and especially the cooks!

They recently moved around the corner to a larger space. They have always been my favorite restaurant in Fort Collins. Their risotto is consistently good, a rare treat most places I have been. They are still working out the new place kinks, but they should have it in shape in a few weeks. Service as always was superb.

Dominics has been a family favorite for decades, but Thursday night was decidedly underwhelming. I don't know if it was the mussels appetizer or the thoroughly ridiculous chicken piccata but about two hours afterward I got very sick. That chicken piccata was itself an embarassment. A blackened chunk of something and if there ever a semblance of chicken in there it didn't survive the deep frier. I'm looking forward to much better in the future.

Food and service were great. Love their new location. It's delicious and such a vibe!

Love love Domenic's! Amazing drinks, food and service. The new location is so nice and more roomy. We will keep coming back

Service was good and attentive, evening started great with Appetizers. . Mussels were amazing tasting and the broth was well made. several shells had not opend but we left them. ( best dish we had) Carpachio was well presented but overwhelming tasting of white truffle and tiny portion Hallibut $50 nicely presented! Tiny pice of Hallibut that was tasting super fishy and this was a Chef special!! To many conflicting flavors. Super salty, creamy with a simple asian sweet chilly sause (Mae Ploy) That ruins it. Very disappointing. Risotto $36, nicely presented but no flavour what so ever. Fealt like esting a mush of things you couldnt put a finger on. Dinner for two with 3 drinks and a glass of wine $200. Cute place but stick with the appetizers !

We were here with a work group for a going away party. We had designated drivers. Because the non-designated drivers were drinking we were cut off. We are all in our 50s, not acting up or anything. Rather over the top and unnecessary. I get the caution, but they didn't even ask if we had DDs. First -- and last -- time we will give them our business.

Nicely appointed dining room, albeit a bit noisy with the high ceiling. Very attentive service. Decent Italian fare.

I had the most amazing bracciola here, so I can imagine how good everything else is. Cute and nice looking little joint with a patio with umbrellas. Nice for a date night! Full bar, fresh ingredients, look forward to trying more items!

The employees were very welcoming, and seated us a little ahead of our reservation last week. I ordered lasagna and it was delicious. It was a clean, upbeat setting, too.

First time to FC and found this place via Yelp. Recommended! We had some wine; good choices and reasonably priced. The Chicken Franchaise was good but might need to be grilled the chicken some before adding the sauce. Margherita pizza was filling; similar to a deep dish. MUST HAVE: the Mascarpone cheesecake. Five star desert! Dmitry did a nice job on service. It was busy around at the tables.

Love this place. Feels like Cheers bar. Warm and cozy. Good food. Good drinks. Good atmosphere. Outside seating when warm is great for a private conversation.

This is my second time at Domenics. Food is very good but service and overall experience was poor both times. First time we were told there was a limit on how long we could stay as we did not have a reservation. We barely finished our meal and felt we were rushed to finish. This evening our server checked 3x to see if our credit cards were in the folder so she could cash us out and we could leave. This time we had a reservation. The reservation website gives you 90 minutes if a party of less than 4. We were two and barely at the hour mark. We felt pushed out, not welcomed and had not finished drinking our 1 glass of wine. Not acceptable to treat paying patrons this way. The ambience is loud and not comfortable to even hear the specials being read. The service is harried and one can tell the servers are rushed to get them in and get them out. My recommendation is to get a bigger place so you can accommodate the masses $$ you wish to have and then maybe you will treat your customers with more respect.

Fast and friendly service. Lasagna was tasty, noodles cooked perfectly. They do not skimp on the meat either. The side Caesar salad was fresh, the dressing was tasty and had a little hint if a kick to it. The croutons were fresh but a bit too salty and too buttery tasting. The green beans were fresh and grilled perfectly. My date had the braciole. It was tender, no knife needed. The sauce was flavorful. The mashed potatoes were creamy and seasoned well.

We had an incident tonight with the food, and the staff and manager handled it like pros. The service by Lucy and the manager was top notch, and the food was oh so good. Thanks for the laughs, and the great night.

We went last week for carry out. Disappointed in the carry out boxes. Everything dumped into a box with no dividers. Three young ladies that were waitresses were scantily dressed with only halter tops on top. It looked more like beach attire than a fine dining restaurant would have as proper server's dress code.

Domenic's is SO GOOD. Their bruschetta is absolutely amazing, the bread is perfectly charred and so tasty. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the cheese pizza is amazing. Nicole was our sever and she was so friendly and welcoming, amazing service. Go to Domenic's!!!

Been here twice in the past year and were disappointed both times. At the price point food should be seasoned and cooked properly. From fishy crab cakes to boiled chicken breasts, I just find it lacking.

What a great experience! I popped in for lunch and my expectations were beat! The waiter was working all the tables and the bar himself but doing a great job. The soup of the day was a cold watermelon mango soup "with a little kick". It came with fresh watermelon in it as well and was delicious. It could have even had more kick but I like things spicy and it did have as described a little kick. On a hot day like today it really hit the spot. I had the Cuban sandwich and it was also fantastic. Slow roasted pork that was tender, great layering and lots of cheese which I love. The bread was nicely toasted from the oven but no hard. I ate everything and really enjoyed it. I didn't have any since I was headed back to work but they also have a great scotch selection which you don't often find. It's not just Johnny Walker. They had a number of great scotches. Glenfiddich and Oban being standouts.

What a charming place with outstanding food. I had the pork belly appetizer with glazed pecans and butternut squash purée, then the salad with chicken, bacon and dates. Both were outstanding and full of flavor. Cocktails were equally outstanding. But the best part of the experience was my server Derek who treated me with such hospitality and attention that I felt as if he were welcoming me into his home. A warm and outstanding dining experience on a cold and snowy night. Can't wait to come back again!

Since Covid we've spent a few hundred bucks a month ordering delivery from Domenic's (yes, we are lazy and spend way too much on ordering out). Tonight when we got our delivery one of our entrees was missing. I called the restaurant and was told there was nothing they could do - to just call NocoNosh for a refund. Here are some ideas they could have gone with instead: 1. Offer to make my food so I can come pick it up (which my husband was willing to do.) No mention of this. 2. Get off your lazy @ss and call Noconosh, make my food and have it delivered. 3. Offer to call Noconosh and request my refund. Instead they suggested I suck it up, go without my food and spend some time on the phone fixing their mistake for them. Nope. I should add that this was relayed to me after the nice young woman spoke to her manager - so this was how he told her to handle this. In the future, we'll be spending our money at establishments that actually give a sh!t about quality and their customers.

Reservations policy is enough to make me never go period! They require a prepayment of $15 per person to reserve. Then they say they will deduct that total from your bill. What the heck? What if I'm not paying for everyone? I could see this for some super high end place ritzy beyond belief that you can never just walk into, but not some simple Italian restaurant in Fort Collins Colorado. That is not a customer friendly policy to anyone to pay up front to reserve a table. Get a better policy like Open Table that sends you reminders, no up front payments, and allows you to confirm reservation or cancel easily when you get the reminder. This solves your issues of no shows that you stated made you require prepayment for reservations. Punishing good customers or turning them away due to this policy because of other customers prior bad actions is not an appropriate policy.

Great staff...everyone greets you like an old friend. We've eaten here three times. Actually one of the times was me alone having a bottle of wine at the bar and entree, but enough times to get a sense of the culture. The room is inviting and warm. Just a great atmosphere. The first two visits were fantastic...very memorable. Pretty decent wine selection. Chefs specials are great. I'll review last night....we stopped in late for appetizers and bourbon. The selection is ok, though would be nice to see a little more variety....but won't complain as you will find a bourbon to fit your desires. We ordered bruschetta and small pizza. The bruschetta was delightful, though could have used a little more balsamic drizzled on them. We still fought over the last piece. :) The pizza on the other hand was not to our liking. The crust reminded us of what you would find at an airport Pizza Hut. Very thick and doughy. It was a white pizza with red onion and double prosciutto. Way too much garlic and over the top salty, again for our tastes. I will say, my review does not mean it's bad...as it is very flavorful. I should have asked....we're more of a Neapolitan pizza fan...or even a New York style. Again just a personal choice. This however does not detract from the experience. Great restaurant overall and highly recommended.

Excellent food, that arrived so quickly despite the restaurant being full! Our server Dmitry was so attentive, making sure to check in with us frequently. The cheesecake was incredible. This will be a regular date night spot for my partner and me!

The food here was very good, not too heavy like some American-Italian restaurants but also decent sized portions unlike some 'high end' places. I'm not sure if it's intentional but the service level is more like when I was in Europe. They take your order and bring your food, but then leave you alone to enjoy your meal. No hovering, which to me always feels like I'm being rushed. Good wine and drink menu, they focus on having a few good options to chose from. Quality not quantity. The crab cakes were perfect, the sauce had the right amount of kick. The lobster ravioli was very tasty, I could clearly taste all the flavors rather than being overwhelmed with one. The chocolate souffle was delicious, I just wish it was bigger for my sweet tooth! I'll definitely be back.

I live in Lafayette and drive to Fort Collins just for Dominic's. The ambiance is amazing. The service is top notch...but the food...omg the food...it's amazing. The filet is consistently the best I've ever had (and I consider myself a steak house connessouir). They remember what I like, they ask about my daughter (whom I have been bringing since she was born). This place is amazing. Not only is the food incredible but the experience is worth driving an hour for.

So you're guaranteed not to see vampires or zombies here... the vampires run from the lovely dash of garlic in this Italian bar-grill's food while the zombies would be run down by the fast-moving wait staff! Friday and Saturday nights are probably not the best time to visit unless you hold off until 8PM plus when the after-work drinkers vacate. It is jumbo jet takeoff noisy on Friday early in the evening. I see they are putting some sound absorber panels on the ceiling -- more please and cover the entire ceiling! The rest of the week is likely less crowded and noisy. Catherine couldn't hear me to take my phone reservation at 5:30 and it was still louder at 6:45. Reservations are by phone although having a reservation appeared only to get me moved from one side of the date book to the other side at the end of the line for people waiting to be seated. OTOH, wait time was acceptable at 15 minutes. Wait staff were exceptional, young, and I'm certain they're exhausted at the end of their shift, too. Quick to take our order and checked in on us several times during the meal. Friendly and bright and observant -- my wife's water glass emptied and a passing wait staffer screeched to a halt, backtracked to a pitcher, and filled it up in only a few seconds. Almost forgot to mention the salad... typical restaurant salads are iceberg lettuce soaked in dressing. For their Spring Salad, Dominic's uses a spring-mix (completely fresh and I didn't find one bit of black in it and I do look!). Some mandarin slices, some sliced almonds and a light dressing and you've got enough salad to share. (see pic) Oh yes, we split an order of crab cakes and they were very good -- you could tell the meat from the filler, there was enough of it, it was not greasy at all, and had a faint spicy kick (might have been the sauce). I got the Braciole -- a generous serving of flat-pounded flank steak plus mozzarella plus roasted garlic rolled up and then given a generous dollop of marinara sauce. Served hot. The sauce wasn't that thin, bright red stuff some places serve: this was thick with chopped low-acid tomatoes, herbs and spices, and garlic. Yes, you can taste the tomato and the seeds. Yum. Mashed Yukon potatoes and some spinach (for the seasonal veggie). My fork is in the picture because I couldn't wait to start. My wife ordered the Shrimp and Grits and said it was wonderful. Braised shrimp over cheddar polenta (grits down home) with mushrooms, diced asparagus, smoky bacon and maybe a splash of wine. Sounds good even though I'm full! I do know that she didn't let me have any. See picture. Rest rooms were large enough and clean (on my side anyway). Parking is easy in the mall lot just outside. There is one short flight of steps up from the street level. Ambiance other than noise level was classy like an upscale Las Vegas eatery. Maybe too many tables in too small a room which just amplifies the noise off hard-surfaced walls, ceiling and floors. You guys are doing this to yourselves! All else aside, we are sure to return, but maybe not on Friday or Saturday.

Service was initially great then our table was ignored as the pace of the small restaurant picked up. It took almost 40 minutes to place our order. My dinner, Primavera and one glass of malbec cost me $30 which in my opinion is overpriced - there was no bread, no salad, just a reg bowl of unremarkable food. The pasta was limp and lifeless, the veggies okay but definitely not worth the cost. Glass of wine was $8 and that's the happy hour price. Won't be returning.
