I've slowly worked my way through the menu at Domenico's, and honestly... I'm obsessed. This place just hits every single time. The food, the vibe, the service. It all feels genuinely cared for, like they actually want you to enjoy being there.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Calamari:
I could quite literally eat this whole plate by myself.
Brie en Croute:
Warm, gooey, sweet, a little crunchy -- it tastes like something you order "to share" and then don't actually share.
Burrata:
So creamy and perfectly paired. One of those appetizers you keep thinking about later.
Truffle Sprouts:
Hands down one of my favorite things here. Crispy, flavorful, and honestly better than most places that even try to do Brussels.
Pigtails (truffle fries):
Dangerously good. Garlicky, crispy, parmesan... you know the deal.
Caesar Salad:
Classic, fresh, and honestly way better than it has any right to be.
Bambino Wedge:
Cold and crunchy with the bacon and gorgonzola -- super satisfying.
Pappardelle Pasta:
Rich, creamy, mushroom-y, and cozy.
Fish Tacos:
Light, fresh, and really well-balanced.
Ribeye:
Okay... this steak. Absolutely incredible. Perfect crust, so tender, full of flavor. I literally had to stop talking after the first bite because I needed a minute.
And I can't forget the Maple Old Fashioned -- my favorite drink here. I have to get it every time. Smooth, warm, a little sweet from the maple, and just overall really well made. It even has a TP logo stamped on the ice that made me smile instantly when I saw it.
What I love most about this place is that everything just feels good, the food, the atmosphere, and the people. It's the kind of restaurant you go to once and immediately plan your next visit.
If you're anywhere near Temecula, make the reservation.
