Dominick's

I was here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon; it was my first visit to Arthur Avenue. The calamari was perfectly fried, the pastas done nicely and the osso bucco special was delicious. The ambience is nice and old school. The waiters were knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. I want to come here every Sunday!

Outstanding service and wonderful food. We were delighted with Dominick's and will be sure to return.

Delicious food and huge portions. Waiters were extremely nice in a family-style sit-down atmosphere. The pasta combo for two is probably large enough to feed four people!

Can’t say enough about this charming old school Italian bistro perfect for family dining. I picked this place because the review I read said “it’s more like a neighborhood food hall. Long tables & the waiters verbally provide the menu.” This is my style. I wasn’t disappointed. Easy to get a table for one and I was pampered and showered with love & attention from the busboy, waiter, bartender and owner. The food was quick and AMAZING! Authentic and fresh. The bread was delicious and with the evoo , chef’s kisses. House wine was great & I got out of there for a mere $45. Cash only.

July 2023: Enjoyed a delicious dinner. My friend has been going here for years and shared one of his favorite restaurants with us. We started with a cold anti pasta plate. Really a tasty dish with meat, cheese, olives 🫒, lettuce. Paired very nicely with bread 🍞. By the way, the bread 🍞 was tasty 😋. Then we had broccoli rabe with sausage and linguine. This was a tasty pasta with lots of garlic. Then we had a seafood stew with a side of pasta and red sauce. Lots of seafood: tile fish, calamari, lobster, shrimp, mussels. Muy delicioso. Then we had the chicken scarpariello. This chicken was super delicious! I wish I could make this at home. Wonderful blend of spiciness and acidicness. Like the poppadew peppers! We really had a great dinner. Looking forward to coming back again for more delicious food!

Iconic location on Arthur avenue. Love this place. Amazing food; best Italian in the Bronx. The staff is friendly and attentive. Great eclectic atmosphere.

Wonderful family style Italian restaurant. I had the Veal Francese which was exquisite. We also ordered good old fashioned linguine with meatballs, house salad, and stuffed clams. All simply divine. Service was friendly and attentive. Only disappointment was that they ran out of chicken parm and linguine with clam sauce. Otherwise, a delightful meal. Cash only.

Great low key experience, tasty pasta at a good price. Can’t ask much more than that! Just be aware it’s communal seating and cash only.

The best Italian food in the area! This is the only place I would consider taking a real Italian to. My family has been coming to Dominick's for over 30 years, and the food quality has never dipped once. We are friendly with most of the servers and always find something to chat about with them. The ambiance used to be more bare-bones years ago. They spruced it up with pictures on the wall and other decorations sometime in the 2000s. Otherwise, this is the same wonderful restaurant we have always cherished. We have brought all of our friends and family here. My favorite dishes are fish francese, veal francese, chicken scarpariello, seafood salad, seafood pasta, stuffed artichoke, and chicken cacciatore. The olive oil they serve with the free bread in the beginning is also above average.

To be fair i was also really not craving italian but holy this was so bad i am so so sorry... I have no clue how or why this place has 4 STARS ON YELP and there were customers coming out RAVING ab it. Place was PACKEDDDDD at 5:30pm on a weekend (fair), we waited for around 20-30 minutes and then got seated. The inside of the restaurant is homey and gives (seemingly) authentic Italian family owned vibes. They gave us bread and olive oil (my favorite part of the meal was the bread). Then they FORGOT TO GIVE US MENUS until they asked us for our orders and we were like wot we don't even have menus. Menu items are not diverse despite being a seemingly long menu (they have like a 416261 linguini items and 37272 ziti items, that probably all taste similar). Food came out after a long time (around 7pm)... and lowkey most of their stuff made me want to gag bc i'm dramatic. Ziti literally had no sauce or flavoring, it was LITERALLY just pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage, and this was my favorite lmfao (+ the salad). The veal parmigiana was okay but tomato sauce was so watery and flavorless, and the veal was just so soggy, I couldn't really even tell what meat it was. White sauce linguini was just wet with what looks like chewed-up clams. When the meal was finished, we learned that THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH and to make it even worse / seemingly more suspicious THEY DIDNT GIVE US AN ITEMIZED RECEIPT LIKE WE JUST THREW MONEY AT THEM after they came up to us and literally just said to us "your total is $320" and we were too tired to argue. Also, we thought we ordered individual-size dishes to share but we told them we were sharing so please give us sharing plates and then they gave us FATTT family sized portions that were definitely more expensive that were not priced on the menu (miscommunication but also wtf). Despite sharing with a BIG group, we paid $40+ each... for the most mid, debatably worst italian food I've had.... I felt so gaslit the entire time bc of the other reviews and the fact that I literally heard customers coming out the door and telling us the food was worth the wait... maybe it's just a culture diff?????? Service was not good at all either. rambling review that i wrote on mobile for beli haha please ignore any spelling or grammatical mistakes

Ordered seven dishes here and they were all awful. Quantity over quality seems to be their motto here. Not worth taking leftovers. 1. They don't serve half their menu on Sundays. 2. Broccoli rabe was like a watery pasta soup 3. Garlic ziti was a greasy mess with a pool of oil 4. Dry ricotta in the stuffed shells 5. Marinara tasted like it came straight out of a jar 6. Lasagna meat looked and tasted like cat food?? Flat, chunky, and spongey. The only edible part was the cheese on top. Service was fine, we were seated pretty quickly for a large group and got water refills frequently. Not sure if they had good food saved in the back for their regulars but I would steer clear.

One of many Arthur Anderson Ave Italian restaurants in the original Little Italy in North Bronx. First time visiting and it was a winner. For appetizers, we ordered stuffed artichokes and stuffed clams. The artichoke was okay, but the clams were delicious! We also ordered linguini and clams, chicken parmesan over linguine, and a side order of meatballs (2 for $6). The chicken parmesan, linguini, and meatballs were all great. One of my two companions would not share the linguini and clams, but he gave it 5 stars and did not leave a bite behind. The ambiance is old-school Italian with shared rows of tables covered with thick burgundy vinyl tablecloths. There are many tables of 6 and 8, so if you want to eat at your own table you can visit with a group. We were a party of 3, so our table was pushed together with a party of 4, but it was fine. Each party had their own bread, condiments, etc. We were so hungry that we did not spare time to take pictures of our food! But it looked good and tasted good. I will take more pictures next time.:) We did not try dessert, because we visited for lunch. All of the above plus two glasses of Pellegrino totaled $100 for 3 people. Very reasonable. Cash-only establishment.

Everything was well done but nothing was unbelievably flavorful. We had calamari, stuffed shells, and ziti with vodka sauce. This is an all cash joint and very basic Italian!

We heard that the linguini with white clam sauce was the best in all of the Bronx/Arthur Ave. I thought this would be a nice surprise for my Italian mother for Mother's Day who loves that dish. Placed an order for baked clams, eggplant parmigiani and linguini with white clam sauce. Drove all the way from Westchester for this order. Thrilled to see so much delicious looking bread included in my bag/order. I should have looked at the meals. The whole order was overcooked. Baked clams very dried out and singed. The eggplant parmigiana was all black around the sides. But the dish that was for my Mother was the worst. It didn't even seem to be seasoned. Linguini soaked in water and overcooked, tasteless clam pieces that were like chewing on a sponge. Couldn't eat it. I can't believe they even gave us this food. Such a disappointment.

With so many good Italian restaurants around, it was just ok. Not thrilled that you don't get a bill, just told what you owe. Wasn't going to make a scene and took it for what it was. Wasn't a pleasant experience, never going there again

Very (!) busy destination on the supertouristy Italian streets of Arthur Avenue. A unique nyc experience, not that good really but unique. No menu or prices, all oral and cash, just trust the waiter. Friendly bustle. Cocktails poured a bit weak but full bar. Limited menu options. Apps are decent baked claims, ok cold antipasto, meatballs too dense. Entrees usual traditional but limited, veal decent meat but bland. An experience!

Wow................Just the spot to hit that Italian summer time crave. Bless Up . Pray Up . chicken Parm is the go to. I was craving that heart warming joint I Can't lie. Alex was great .

Lovely service at a true family-owned feeling restaurant. They sat us down promptly on a busy Saturday. They give a complementary bread, which was enough to feed a family a four, but I wouldn't call the quality of it highly remarkable. To eat we had: Ziti with broccoli - pretty bland and sitting in a puddle of watery sauce. They did switch the brocolli rabe for broccoli for me so I appreciate that! Chicken rollatini - this was very nice I enjoyed the flavors and found the chicken to be juicy. Sauce was also great, used some of that loaf of bread they gave us to soak it up. Overall, a cute place with an Italian family style dinner vibe. Great for the experience, probably wouldn't come again.

OK. Maybe I should have had something other than Eggplant Parmesian. I did ask the waiter if he thought it was good, and maybe he was being honest, and I asked him to add extra cheese... I don't know... my buddy got Chicken Parm, the cheese was the same on both, and both plates were unremarkable. If portion is what you're looking for, then HELL YES, this is the place for you. But I went to this place expecting quality, foremost. With sodas, the meal cost us $70 (before tip). I know the cost of everything is going up, but damn... I was definitely disappointed. Still though, I ate the top layer of Eggplant with the cheese and took the rest home, added more mozzarella and fed the leftovers to my daughter, who said, "Daddy... for realz? I can't eat this. This tastes like garbage." Maybe she doesn't like the cheap mozzarella I used? I can't say for sure, but I won't be back there. For me, it was a bit of a rip. Good thing they only take cash there... they can't track me by my credit card! :D My buddy who had the ckn parm ate about 1/4 of his portion and doesn't even take anything home. Like I said... unremarkable.

The greeting when you walk in is heart warming, the food was great and the service was outstanding !!

Would give this a 4.5 if I could! They are CASH ONLY. Truly homey comfort Italian food with huge portions. The complimentary bread is crusty on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. Their house Merlot was also delicious - a little sweet with some body. Baked clams 5/5: comes with 12 so plenty to share. Clams themselves were large and perfectly mixed with the breadcrumbs. Stuffed artichoke 5/5: mixed with some sort of sausage or meat that makes it delicious. Also lots of sauce to dip the bread into. Veal Sorrentino 5/5: thin veal layered with prosciutto, eggplant and mozzarella. Everything was the perfect portion, tender and super tasty! Linguine alla Gianni 5/5: MUST GET. Light and flavorful and loaded with chopped shrimp and clams. Couldn't get enough of the sauce to soak up the bread! Fettuccine alla Dominick's 4/5: Fettuccine alfredo with mushrooms and pancetta. I'm sure alfredo lovers would love this but it's just too rich and heavy for me. Tasty and full of flavor though. Meatballs 4/5: large and packed with meat but could have been more tender. The service here was also incredible. Our waiter was attentive even though we were one of two parties upstairs and gave us two half loaves of fresh bread with our leftovers. Can't wait to come here again to try more dishes!

Food not worth eating. I love eggplant parm but here it was tasteless. The breaded artichokes were awful. At a restaurant no quality of service or atmosphere can make up for food that is an utter waste of calories and money.

Always good a lot of good food family style big portions this place is old school which is the best school only the best when I'm in the Bronx God bless

Had a family style dinner. Food was excellent. Eggplant parmesan was done just right. Broccoli rabe was loaded with garlic. There is a public parking lot behind the restaurant. Nice avenue to go for a walk after your meal.

After a beautiful day at the botanical garden train show we walked to Arthur avenue for early-ish dinner. we chose Dominic Because we heard it was fabulous. we ordered veal Parm, chicken Parm, and eggplant Parm. Curiously only the eggplant one did not come with linguini. The amount of food on each plate was enormous, but bland and flavorless. Not a hint of garlic or salt. We also ordered the stuffed artichoke to share as a starter and a side salad for one. All five dishes came to the table at the same time. The artichoke looked great on other peoples plates, so there was no way to tell that it tasted awful.The stuffing was flavorless,soft and wet and tasted like boxed chicken stock and white bread. I wanted to Crispy! the salad, such as it was, was iceberg lettuce, two olives, and two slices of tomato. I have thrown out more about this. We got our doggy bags, asked for the check, we were told the dollar amount. no paper check no itemization. Just a dollar amount ...why should I trust you?. No credit card. no coming back. mediocre at best and for only $160. I will stay closer to home and get better. I can live without the old Timey atmosphere. It's not my nostalgia. I wanted delicious. But if you want LARGE PORTIONS of ordinary food this is your place. Ps. Bathroom is upstairs so not handicapped accessible.

Dominicks is an authentic Italian Restaurant in Little Italy. We did not have a menu instead the waiter recommended a baked clam appetizer and a chicken dish. Both were very good . I especially liked the chicken it was moist and had a terrific flavor. The clams were a bit gritty . The atmosphere is bright red and white mostly. A very friendly upbeat place. Nothing fancy but very real.

This is a very traditional Italian restaurant. Simple dishes done well. For the holidays we went with a friend that loved this place years ago and was hoping to relive her fond memories that were spent with her father. She recalls her father being thrown out of Dominick's, it must have been a good night. The service is good and the kitchen seems to be efficient at getting orders out to the table. Don't be surprised that there is no bill just the waiter giving you a total amount. Be prepared it is a CASH ONLY establishment. House wines are good, best to buy by the bottle. If you enjoy eating family style then I suggest you give Dominick's a try.

Ciao, scuzzi, per favore. Very good. Better than last time. Makes me feel at home. Showed me the light. I'm not just saying this. But you know every fourth is the way to be. Every fourth, word. Every fourth, word. Hello. How are you? But maybe you shouldn't talk back. But come to light for here. I like eating food. But I think it isn't about you. Very little people know great. Definitely it is overrated to eat pie definitely. Normal again, yes. Parking is tough but the parking lot behind the restaurant only take about 10 minutes to get you a spot. Plan to arrive ahead of time and just use the back lot. Save yourself the trouble. These "New Yawkas" are a bunch of Stromboli and bologna. They think they something but they not. Bronx "Bombas" lol win a World Series for once you frauds. Piccolo you are piccolo go away with your tight parking and random bikes. Get lost red light means red! The chicken here is good. The real winner is the cavatelli. Just add 20 pounds of the cavatelllll let's go how ya doing there! Per favore. Ciao, scuzzi. Non lo so, NP$

I came here with friends and we were pleasantly impressed by the service, the food and the way we were treated.

Great place to eat in Little Italy in the Bronx. Delicious Food. Great Wine. Friendly people. All around terrific experience. Love it!

We decided to try Dominick's after seeing so many positive reviews on the internet. We didn't have to wait long which was nice. It was still on the earlier side of a Saturday night. Unfortunately with a party of two we got squeezed onto a table with another party. That was fine but the space was so tight that it took away from the experience. People were constantly elbowing and hitting me from behind. They also were out of a fair amount of signature items such as the stuffed artichoke. Surprising since it was just past 6pm. We ended up not getting an appetizer due to that. For my main, I ordered the linguine alla gianni. It was good and hit the spot. The complimentary bread was also very fresh and delicious. With all that said, this restaurant fell flat for me.

This afternoon I had a fantastic meal at Dominick's Restaurant. They are located in the heart of Arthur Avenue, which is the original Italian neighborhood in the Bronx. A lot of people in New York might have had an Italian grandmother who grew up in the neighborhood. They will still drive in from the suburbs to go there. It is not touristy or corporate, as many restaurants in Manhattan can be. This restaurant has a very authentic, down-home feel. My waiter was perfect for his job. He seemed as if he had come right off the boat from Italy. The owner really takes pride in his business, and I was made to feel welcome eating there. The food is all traditional Italian. They finally have indoor dining in New York again, which I was thrilled about. But he has screens up in between the tables, so that there is a little bit more comfort. What I liked about it is that there's no printed menu. The waiter just tells you whatever they have that day. I like how everything was freshly prepared.

I gave one star due to the price. The wait staff herds you around. The food has no presentation The food had no taste, and it sat horrible in both my and my dates stomach for the whole night! I specifically asked them - What is your signature dish? Which i ordered. My date order a different dish. We ordered meatballs as an appetizer. We did half a bottle tums.... I have heard such great things about arthur ave... dont believe the hype

I love the the coffee, but the employee always mess up your order i have to way a lot for them to fixed and everything is expensive not like before he

Psyched for some Arthur Ave Italian food. Eh... mediocre. NO tentacles in the fried calamari? Is this chili's? I specifically asked about a dish and it came the way the waiter said it would NOT. So yeah, food was mediocre for real itslian. THEN, we get no bill/check/paper...just a verbal $243....for 4 people....BUT ONLY .. 2 apps, 2 entrees, 1 side 2 martinis.??? Paid. Left a fair tip too because no one said it was included and we're not server abusive. Left review. Won't go back. Done.

Excellent food, very fresh and tasty. I like there salad, veal chops, veal and potatoes. My grandchildren love the pasta and meatballs. Everything tastes home made

Just WOW! Wonderful lunch here yesterday. Our appetizers and entrees were perfectly cooked, had great flavor and good portion sizes. What blew me away were the baked clams oreganata and linguine with white clam sauce. Until this meal no restaurant has been able to replicate what my parents made. The baked clams were tender, with a garlicky herby breadcrumb crust. The pasta dish had a lot of tender clams with a rich broth. So many thanks to the chef for.that!! My daughter had the fried calamari which were tender with a yummy tomato sauce on the side. Hubby had Chicken Parmigiana which was an enormous portion and he just kept repeating how tender the chicken was. It was on a bed of linguine and he noted it was perfectly al dente. All around terrific meal!!

Eh...service was friendly....seating is tight...had the veal parmigiana, it was burnt...sauce was ok...too many other places nearby to give it a second try...there's parking in a municipal lot behind the building

Another great meal after a good Yankees win only at Dominick's. Had the rigatoni, sausage and broccoli rabe. Delicious!!!

Wow. Don't know where to start. Walked in because of a short list of places to go on Arthur ave from Time Out NY or some list like that. Figured we couldn't go wrong on Arthur Ave right? Wrong. Started with a Campari and Soda in a pint glass filled with ice with some pink stuff on the bottom and foam on top. I was with my boys and we ordered a portion of ziti with a vodka sauce and their supposed specialties, chicken scarpariello and chicken cacciatore. I asked for a glass of red with this and was told the only red wine by the glass was Merlot, Dominick's Merlot lol. The only other option was a bottle of Chianti for $58 or an Amarone and they usually are $80 and up so didn't ask. The Merlot couldn't have been older than a 2021 and tasted like grape juice according to my son Nick lol. I agreed. The food came out and could not have been more average. The vodka sauce said nothing and don't bother getting the chicken, either of them . Both with a relatively bland sauce not resembling either of those dishes. We were so bummed . To top it off it's an unannounced cash only which is in small print at the bottom of the menu so required a trip across the street to the atm. The bread however was great. Best part of the meal. So skip this one guys . I've been to a couple of others next door that were good so pass.

Cash only!! Didn't know that. Customer service is great. The owner is really nice and talkative. Food is alright and comes in really large portions.

I have been talking to my wife about Dominicks for awhile now. We were supposed to go in December but we both got covid. I lost my sense of taste and smell so we haven't eaten out much. I still don't have it back completely. I can't taste things like garlic, onions, vinegar, lemon etc. So my review is temporary. I will go back as soon as I can taste and smell and post an update. If you are not familiar with Arthur Ave in The Bronx, you should be. There are meat markets, fish mongers, fresh mozzarella made in multiple places, and restaurants aplenty and all very good. You can bet with all of these markets the meat, seafood, cheese and vegetables in the restaurants will always be fresh. There were 3 of us so we ordered clams oreganata, fried calamari, chicken parm over linguini and linguini with clam sauce. The calamari was nicely coated and fried. Not very oily. Perfectly tender. One of the better fried calamari dishes I've had. The dozen clams oreganata were nicely breaded and again perfectly cooked. Tender not chewy. Unfortunately I couldn't taste the seasonings but my wife said they were excellent. I went with chicken parm because I knew I could taste tomato sauce. The dish was gigantic. The pasta was al dente and the sauce was very good. The chicken was tender. I really enjoyed it. My daughters eyes popped when she saw the size of the dish. Lastly, my wife said she had not had linguini with white clam sauce this good since her father passed away 20 yrs ago. He would go clamming and then come home and make it fresh. She said it looked different from his but if she closed her eyes it was as if she was eating his sauce again. It is not a fancy place. Just a bunch of rectangular tables with vinyl table cloths. They only do some dishes on sundays like cavatelli and others like seafood are not cooked on sundays. Service was excellent. I would definitely suggest that if you want a real italian experience that you go to Arthur Ave and Dominicks. By the way, we came back with fresh ravioli and cavatelli from Borgatti's, fresh mozzarella and hot sausage from Mike's deli, bread from Addeo's and pastries from Artuso's and Morrone's. The pizza on Arthur Ave is also excellent.

Must visit on Arthur Avenue- this is the real Little Italy. Huge portions, classic atmosphere

Delicious fresh bread, pasta and sauce! However only certain pastas on certain days and cash only

Dominick's is awesome as always. A must go if you are on Arthur Ave. Staff is awesome, love the owner. Every time I bring someone new to this spot they are raving about it. And we always meet new friends while there.

Sorry but it's not like it was years ago food has gone down in quality and taste ,what a shame. I had FISH OREGANATA which was dry and over cooked and came with no side of anything. My partner had linguini and clams which had little or no clams and very acidic sauce, which gives you Agita. Sorry Dominic's you need a new culinary Italian chef. I have heard from the neighborhood the place has gone way down not like the old Dominic's what a classical shame . I don't mind paying for a good meal, but what a waste of money, and a waste of food that had to be thrown out .

Amazing food!!!! Kind of a mobbed up joint but I just make sure I don't sit near any windows . Good service and absolutely brilliant food.

Had such a wonderful dining experience at Dominick's! Very warm welcome, treated like special guests. Food was fantastic and the service was excellent. Highly recommend! Thank you for an exceptional evening!

Overall the food was disappointing as expected it to be exceptional Italian food based upon it's Arthur Avenue location. The linguine pasta was virtually tasteless and the cheese that was served upon request seemed like it was a variety from Kraft. The salad was also only OK and hardly exceptional. The Peroni Beer and the Italian Bread served with the meal was, however, very good. I would rate the service as very good.

Great food and stellar staff. Bartender is easily a legend with his drink quality. Would come again for some food /drinks.

Dominick's is a wonderful, family-owned restaurant on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. It is my favorite restaurant in the area. Every time I have come here, all staff are friendly, attentive, and willing to help any table, even if it is not their section. The owners, Charlie and Angela make sure to greet every customer with a warm welcome. The baked clams were out of this world! I highly recommend the baked clams, chicken scarpariello, veal parm, and chicken francese. The calamari rings are very large, rather than the small, crunchy type. The penne vodka was good, however, the fettuccini alfredo was better. Dominick's also has the best espresso martini I have ever had, so I would definitely recommend them for dessert.

Dominick's is one of my favorite restaurants in the world. But if it's your first time, be prepared for the following: 1. On the weekends at peak dinner time it can be very crowded, but they move through tables quickly. If it's crowded, it's also probably going to be pretty loud 2. This is a friendly, fun family spot with big long tables. Unless you have a group big enough to take up a whole table yourselves, you will probably be sitting directly next to some strangers. It's ok, say hi! 3. There are no menus and no prices. The waiter will tell you everything they have. You can basically order any pasta/meat/fish/veggie in any classic Italian sauce, and any other traditional Italian dish you're in the mood for. I'd highly recommend the antipasto or house salad, stuffed artichoke, and chicken scarpariello. 4. Save some room for bread to sop up all of the delicious sauce left over from your meal 5. It's cash only Enjoy :)

I haven't been to Dominick's in years. We just returned from a trip out of the country and on the plane we were deciding on where to go eat after we landed. It's a ritual that we have when we arrive back home from a trip. We tossed around some other local places and decided on Dominick's. This was the perfect food for a rainy cold Sunday evening. We started with salad which when paired with the bread is absolutely fantastic. Next we had the baked clams followed by some penne with meatball, sausage, and the most gargantuan braciole I've ever seen! Enough there to feed four people. No menus, no written check, cash only. Just the way it should be. Old school is the best school.

We decided on some old school Italian dining. We were greeted by a group of young servers. He set us up with a nice big salad. Tables are separated by dividers. We got there a little late for a rainy Sunday evening. So for us, we hit it right. Not busy. We ordered baked clams. If I had a straw, I'd drink the juice! The bread came in handy! We then ordered penne and a braciolle, piece of sausage and a meatball. I have NEVER seen a Braciolle the size of that. It was huge! Full of flavor. Service was excellent. Prices beyond fair! Cash only!

Visited Dominicks before restaurants in New York were able to have indoor dining, it was a beautiful summer night, Arthur Avenue was completely closed to traffic, and every restaurant had outdoor seating. After reviewing many reviews on my restaurants on Arthur Avenue we decided to check out Dominicks, not only because of the reviews, but because how long the restaurant has been there. When we arrived I'm assuming Dominick greeted us right away, and put a table out for us, we weren't given any menus, which was completely fine, Dominick came over to our table as if he knew us forever, engaged in conversation, and basically told us what they had, what would pair well together, and we decided what we were going to eat. I absolutely love this! It made us feel like we walked into someone's home, and they were basically telling us what they cooked. The homemade wine was amazing! We actually downed two bottles. We started off with the antipasta, artichoke, and baked clams, everything was delicious! So dinner I had the shrimp, which was cooked in a nice sauce. Overall everything was absolutely delicious, service was amazing, there was no rush at all. Other customers were so nice, and started to chat with us, many customers have been coming here since they were children, that's always a good sign. Happy I was able to experience Dominicks, and will definitely be back! You just can't get that old school service anymore.

I wanted to leave a review for Dominick's, not because of how AMAZING the food is, but more because of how incredible their staff and ownership is. My family was there for dinner on Sunday night the 19th, and my mother in law ended up choking on her food...it was a bad ordeal. I cannot thank the staff and Charlie enough for quickly springing into action, calling 911, and ensuring my children were well taken care of upstairs so that they weren't witnessing what was happening. You all helped save my mother in law's life and we are so grateful for that. Amazing food, tremendously friendly and accommodating staff...cannot recommend this place enough. Kudos to all of your team Charlie!

I visited Dominick's this past weekend and i definitely wished i lived in NY to come more often. I visited from LA and have never experienced such amazing customer service, warm hospitality, amazing cosmopolitan drinks, AND quality food all in one location. The owner, Charlie, was so amazing and generous! Definitely thee best restaurant I've visited while in NY. Thank you to the waiters as well! If i could give another star, I would. I can't wait to come back

Perfect. Every time. I don't know how many times I've been here, including a repass service for my grandfather. On weekends it's crazy busy, and the kitchen is tiny, but they pump out the best food. Chicken dishes are surprisingly incredible. The meat is flavorful and fall off the bone. Pastas are all perfectly cooked. Sometime the chix scarpariello is nice and browned/crunchy skin, sometimes it comes out with no color. That's the only inconsistency. Always tastes good. I love how the servers get you to order. This place doesn't have menus so they really do read your mind a bit and get you into the right ballpark for your dishes. Sometimes I'll just ask what fish is special and go with that. Tables are communal which is great because you can look around to see what other people ordered to plan the next meal for your next visit. If you show up with eight people, you will get your own table. And there's nothing better than family style for a large group. You can also order a meal for one. Ask your server for his recommendation on portions. They are also accommodating with families and kids. Keep in mind it can get cramped. The upstairs area is great for a drink while you wait for a table. Cash only folks.
