    Deli counter. Sort of.
    Mike B.

    What exactly is this place? From the outside, it looks sort of like a nightclub and the inside is a mix of take-out seating and lounge vibe. It claims to be a deli, but it serves a menu more like a diner than a deli, and the deli sandwich I ordered was completely bizarre? It's confusing. I was looking for a deli because I wanted a classic deli sandwich I could eat in the car on a long drive out of Oakland. I ordered a reuben, sub turkey, no other changes. The classic preparation would be rye toast, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and, in this case, turkey. What I got was the strangest deli sandwich I've ever eaten. It seemed to be turkey on greasy grilled white bread with mozzarella cheese and a sauce like liquidy mustard with chopped up cucumbers in it. It was nothing like what I ordered. But here's the thing: I did like it. Strange flavors, but I demolished it. And the people were nice enough. So I'll stand by a 4-star rating. If you don't really care about getting exactly what you ordered, you'll probably like it.

    The burger is nicely seasoned. I didn't have fries. The service was great. The restaurant is clean and has good seating. I really enjoy this place and will be coming again. The prices are great!

    Been in and out of this place a couple of years whether it's a snack, drink, or meal it has never disappointed. Staff always greets the variety of items will satisfy most....most picky eaters. Salads are an option too.

    Ordered catering for my work meeting from here and was so happy with the freshness of the cold cut sandos and how the catering order was prepped for easy pick up. Folks loved the turkey avocado sandwich and I enjoyed a veggie sandwich. They also have a great veggie burger! It's a cute, clean spot with lots of snack options for purchase as well.

    Roast Beef Sandwich

    After missing the ferry, my friends and I stumbled upon Dolma Deejis, and I'm so glad we did because their sandwiches are the best! We arrived on a Tuesday around 11am and were promptly greeted at the counter. I ordered a roast beef sandwich, and it was truly exceptional. Crafting a sandwich is easy, but it takes serious skill to ensure all the ingredients are perfectly balanced in every bite - and this one never fell apart! My friend ordered the Malibu burger and said it was delicious. The seating was also very comfortable, making it the perfect lunch spot. I can't wait to return!

    stop by for lunch for the first time I was really impressed with the ambience. Very nice inside. I ordered the salmon burger with sweet potato french fries. The food and the service for both grades will definitely be back soon.

    Pastrami Sandwich
    Ardeshir V.

    I got a quick bite for lunch and it was a tasty turkey melt. I didn't get the fries so i can really comment on anything else food wise. The atmosphere was a mix of pop up deli and classic American diner. I'd go back again for a quick bite.

    One of best sandwich shops in the Bay Area with a MUST-TRY roast lamb sandwich…read more Domenicos is an unsuspecting sandwich shop at the end of Webster. Honestly I would miss it otherwise. However, an acquaintance raved about it, so we had to try. Once inside, you sense the warm, family-run feel, and regulars and staff know each other. You also get the sense that people know where it's at when it comes to great sandwiches. The sandwiches are amazing. Ok, I'll be honest -- I went like three times in two weeos, but have only tried one sandwich. Because it's so dang amazing. The roast lamb sandwich. My girlfriend agrees, and that's also the only thing she gets. It's borderline life-changing. We like it with: dutch crunch, pepperjack, lettuce, tomato, red onion, mayo, and a bit of Dijon. I also tried their fantastic tiramisu, one of the best I've had. They carry delicious chips; I've enjoyed the pesto and truffle flavors. They also carry the delicious, local Alameda Soda Co sodas. Just an awesome way to enjoy delicious food and support local businesses. Other notes: For two people, a large should be fine! They wrap it as two sandwiches. Works perfectly for me and my gf, with chips and drinks. The have a dining area at both the front and back of the shop. Lines can form, but nothing extreme. Absolutely worth it. They take phone orders! I haven't tried yet. I don't mind waiting and it's nice to chat with the staff (if they're not too busy).

    I've been eating sandwiches from Domenico's Italian Deli for years through work, but this was…read moreactually my first time going in person--and I'm glad I finally did. I ordered a tuna sandwich with everything on Dutch crunch bread, along with some Harvest Cheddar SunChips and a Strawberry Kiwi Snapple. Let me tell you--the sandwich was excellent. The tuna tasted fresh, the lettuce and tomatoes were crisp, and that Dutch crunch bread brought it all together. Every bite was on point. Easily one of the best deli sandwiches I've had, especially from an independently owned spot. The place itself has a great old-school vibe. Lots of photos on the walls and even some Raiders memorabilia, which gives it a real local feel. When I got there, there were a few people ahead of me, so I waited about 10-15 minutes, but it was worth it. You can tell they're making everything fresh. There were about 4-5 people working behind the counter, and even though they were busy, they were still friendly, engaging, and interacting with customers, which I liked. The lady at the register was also very nice and welcoming. They've got a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from. I've tried a few over the years, but next time I might go for something like the Chicago-style meatball sandwich. If you're in Alameda on Webster Street and want a fresh, high-quality sandwich, this is the spot. Perfect for grabbing something to go and heading over to the park or the beach on a nice day. Two thumbs up from me.

They have a modest but solid selection of Italian deli meats (Serrano ham, prosciutto, pancetta, etc), pasta, olive oil, vinegars, and a couple specialty jams (calabrian chile orange, etc) - basically all you'd need for a gourmet charcuterie board meal or snack. Last time I was here, picked ip a bottle of nicely aged balsamic vinegar from Italy, which has lasted me for a couple years. Today, decided to try one of their specialty Italian sandwiches with a shot of expresso on the side... and Mama Mia was the sandwich absolutely amazing! I highly recommend the Jamon Serrano & Manchego sandwich ($14.50). It comes with shaved ribbons of serrano ham, 1/5 inch thick slice of aged manchego cheese, a creamy spread of chevre goat cheese, chopped/marinated artichokes and arugula greens on a crusty/crunchy baguette (between half to a full foot long). I practically finished this within 10 minutes - it was so good! The expresso shot ($3.25) was also a good pairing for me. Loved the aroma, made from nicely dark roasted beans. Inside the venue there's shelves on the back wall, with Italian dry goods, oils, vinegars, jams, etc for sale. Seating indoors is about 5ish tables for 2 or more. Outside sidewalk has a couple tables too. Located on the corner of 9th & Washington St, mostly metered street parking in this area and a small hourly parking lot across the street.

    My only question is....WHY haven't I been here sooner?! I…read morewas craving pastrami, so I looked on yelp for pastrami in the area. My mom and I came in around 2pm on Monday (8/11). It's a cute delicatessen/restaurant. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Immediately the staff was so friendly and welcoming. The woman at the register was very nice and asked if we had any questions. My mom and I shared a pastrami sandwich, Brussels sprouts, fries, and slaw. It was reasonably priced for the Bay Area. When they brought the food to the table I was shocked. Everything looked amazing and very appetizing, and the portions were much bigger than expected. Before she brought the sandwich over, she asked if we were sharing it and was so nice to split it into 2 plates for us. That was very kind for her to do. Let's start with the French fries. Omg they were perfectly crisp but still fluffy on the inside. They had so much flavor probably because of the beef tallow and had just the right amount of salt on them. There was a side of mayonnaise with the fries, and it tasted homemade. I meant to ask them if it was. It was very good lol I couldn't get enough. The poppyseed slaw was very refreshing and it was tangy and sweet. We loved that the cabbage remained crispy and it was great for a warm day. The fried Brussels sprouts were full of flavor. They were a nice balance of sweet and salty. I loved the bacon on them. The hot pastrami sandwich definitely satisfied my pastrami craving! There was just the right ratio of meat-cheese-sauerkraut-mustard-dressing. The bread tasted freshly baked as well. It was full of flavor. And the side salad that came with the sandwich was excellent. We loved the tanginess of the dressing. We were shocked that there wasn't more people inside, but also for 2pm on a Monday, it probably was just an off hour. We had so many leftovers as we both don't eat very much, but lol as soon as I got home I started eating some more of the slaw and salad. Can't wait to eat the rest for lunch tomorrow. We are already planning on coming back to try the meatballs next time and definitely trying their Indian cuisine! I'll have to bring my husband here next. Thank you guys for an amazing lunch!

    I'm sure there are other good things here but I keep just getting the cheese steak. The picture…read moredoesn't do it justice. It's a warm, crunchy roll, the chopped steak and cheese are perfect, and there's a salad next to it so you can take a bite of that while you're waiting for the next bit of your sandwich to cool down. Do yourself a favor and order this in instead of carrying it out. The roll is warm and crunchy and I think too much time in a bag would make everything less delicious. (I'm sure it's still good, it's just *better* if you can eat it when it's fresh.) I swear one of these days I'll try something else on the menu.
