    Chicken N' Vegetables
    Mari K.

    This place is actually pretty good. I placed an order on the phone and it was quoted 15 minute wait time. I got two pieces of garlic bread with little bit of cheese and pasta with chicken and vegetables with marinara sauce. You are able to customise the pasta and sauce you'd like which is so great. The ambiance is quite nice.

    It's Sunday, watching football and eating pizza with my buddy Bob is par for the course. So we went to Domenicos. I've been coming to the this original location for at least 50 years. As the years before their pizza is delicious! The service at the counter was fast , and with a smile. That always sets the tone . It's been a minute since I've been here because of the Eaton fire. Not to worry the pizza is fantastic and the sit down part of the restaurant is open for business as well 11-4 . Family owned and always great food If you are in Pasadena, definitely Recommended

    Fried Zucchini

    The place is located on the corner of Washington Blvd. It has a small dining room and a pick up location. We ordered carry out and our order was completed in less than 20 mins. The service was quick and friendly. We couldn't decide which sub we wanted so we ordered two- meatball and roast beef - they ate large subs and so we cut them into thirds to try as well as the fried zucchini. The meatballs were covered with marinara and served in a toasted roll- it was good. The roast beef was tender, tasty and topped with cheese, mushrooms and onions. This was my favorite one. It went well with the slices of friend zucchini dipped in marinara. This meal was a bargain when you divide it three ways because it is enough for three!

    Fettuccine Alfredo

    Like my previous review stated I've been a customer since the 90's- My daughter is visiting from the Bay Area and we planned to have dinner here- when we arrived, it was closed - we were 18 min late. We decided to order food at the takeout side but couldn't find somewhere to go eat it- it's raining- We live far and too wet to go to a park. Luckily I recognized a regular employee there - she greeted me and I mentioned our problem and asked if there was any way we could possibly use one of their tables- without hesitation she said hold on a min- came back and literally opened the restaurant for us- there were 7 of us. Treated us like VIP (as always) served us, didn't rush at all.. I love the ambience and how they treat you like family.. the food is as delicious as it has always been... Thank you Domenicos for your delicious food and hospitality.

    Bummer! Dine in ends at 4pm on Sat!
    Cynthia C.

    Unfortunately, hours weren't updated to Yelp - yet. Hopefully my pic will help someone else. Review shouldn't reflect business, but in order to post hours publicly, Yelp requested a review. So this is just based on not being able to dine in at 6:30 on a Saturday. Best of luck! We will try again in the future. I think pick up is available, but Hubs wanted to sit down for his "pie".

    Pepperoni, mushroom,bacon and jalapeño pizza
    Joseph G.

    Pizza was delicious 10 out of 10, ingredients were fresh. Very peaceful environment with friendly staff.

    soggy wet pizza
    Stacy M.

    Surprisingly bad. The soggiest pizza I've ever had. Tastless as well. I don't know what happened. The crust was literally soaking wet . I've had better pizza at a cafeteria which is saying something. The alfredo pasta also tasted pretty much like nothing and the chicken was rubbery like they made it in the microwave. So disappointed!

    Hours as of January 2026

    Disclaimer/Heads-up... Hours posted online are for "takeout" only. Dine-in hours are from 11am-4pm. Food is still high quality and yummy...just plan accordingly.

    Ask the Community - Domenico's Italian Restaurant

    When will the dining room open? I live way too far to get pick-up.

    Dining room is open from 11-4pm only! Hope to see you soon. 😊

    Is your dining room open? It was closed as of November 8.

    It's now open from like 11am-4pm!

    Plan to visit you on Sunday the 6th for my wife's birthday, do you recommend a family meal/feast for a party of 12?

    All of our family meals are for a family of 4. Depends how much everyone eats.

    Where s the Dine in menu?

    Same place, just next door.

    Is there any other locations in Cali?

    The Domenico's Italian Restaurant in Pasadena is one-of-a-kind- molto bene! That said, there is a Domenico's Jr., in Glendora which will NOT disappoint you- good food. It is owned by a Bitonti. Then there is a Domenico's Italian Kitchen in Beaumont… Read more

    Is this Domenico's affiliated with the Domenico's in Monrovia off of Huntington and the Domenico's express off of Myrtle in Monrovia too?

    Unfortunately it was sold out of the family about 12 years ago and has no affiliation with the original Domenicos on Washington Blvd.

There is limited street parking and a few free parking spots on the side of the restaurant (usually taken). Or you can use the paid lot next door down the alley. I parked at the lot and was supposedly validated by our server, but upon exiting I was still charged the full price of $1.50 for every 15 minutes!!! Not sure what happened there... Venue 3.5 stars: New, nicely decorated upscale facility with indoor and seating and a full bar. They do also have patio seating which I did not enjoy. The patio is these narrow strips on the front and side of the restaurant. The front side is literally on the sidewalk and the side patio is cramped and facing a bunch of parked cars. Not esthetically pleasing or comfortable. They do have heaters though which were helpful as it was a chilly evening. They take reservations on Resy which I would recommend as they get very busy. Service 4 stars: Friendly and polite. Food 4 stars: Modern Italian-inspired. We had the Hamachi Crudo and the Lamb Chops as appetizers. Lamb Chops were good. The Crudo was good but a very small portion. We also had the Scaloppine di Pollo, the Charred Scallop Risotto, the Branzino alla Griglia and the Pork Chop Milanese. The Scaloppine di Polo (Breaded chicken Cutlet) was the best. The Pork Chop was a little dry. The Branzino and the Risotto were good but had way too much butter for our taste. The star of the show was the Pistachio Tiramisu which was excellent. Overall a reasonable dining experience. Prices are on par with similar establishments. Drinks 5 stars: Creative specialty cocktails using unique Italian spirits, full bar, beer, wine, soft drinks and espresso drinks. Drinks are reasonably priced.

However, I'm sure this restaurant will do fine, as it has been a part of Pasadena for so long. We had a reservation for 7:30pm, and we were seated in the back of the restaurant. I didn't even know they had a back room, as last time we sat in the front. All of the dishes tonight were shared, except for the drink. I had the White Lotus drink, which was very similar to an Aperol Spritz. We shared the Pork Meatballs. These were 5 out of 5. They were so tasty, dense, large and the sauce and spice were perfect. We then shared the Mushroom Gnocchi. This is exactly how it sounds; however, I felt it was definitely lacking flavor, and would give it a 4 out of 5. We then moved on to the main course, which was the Pork Chop with an Apricot Sauce and a herb salad with fruit. I would give this dish a 5 out of 5, excellent. We ended the meal with the Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble. This was kind of the disappointment of the meal. It wasn't bad; however, it was not a crumble; we didn't taste any strawberry or rhubarb. The ice cream on the top was the highlight of this dish. It would get a 2 out of 5. Our server was very nice; however, a little rushed at times, especially during the early part of our service when the restaurant was nearly to capacity. Overall, a good to great visit. I would still return again in the future.

I came later after my friend got the table but we were seated outside in the nice little patio seating area. The servers were quick to greet me when I came in and took my drink order. I tried the frozen Negroni and opted for that. We were served bread to dip with vinegar and oil while we looked through the menu to see what we wanted. The server suggested different dishes: raviolis, cacio e pepe, a dish with the name jerry in the title (I don't quite remember the full name!) and so on. I ordered the cacio e pepe and added mushrooms and chicken to my order. As an appetizer, I ordered a half cesar salad which was pretty decent. I was not a fan of the hard crouton though! The cacio e pepe was pretty dry and the chicken was even drier. Adding mushrooms was a nice touch but sadly the dish could not be saved by how dried it was. Overall, it was okay but I would skip on adding chicken. My friends seemed pretty disappointed with their dishes. I think maybe 2/6 thought their dishes were okay while the rest did not enjoy what they ordered. For dessert, I was surprised with a slice of coconut cake since it was a friend and mines birthday. The cake was good and full of coconut flavored goodnessss. The tiramisu I ordered (before I knew of the coconut cake!) was also a very nice sweet treat. Overall, the vibes are nice, the service was super kind and the drinks were good. Dessert was fine but I'm not sure I would return for dessert. The inside is nice and spacious and the place had a nice, relaxing vibe to help everyone unwind for dinner. Parking is a big plus for Pasadena! There is a large parking lot that is shared with surrounding businesses and it's free parking.

Pizza came out hot and fresh, but with prosciutto instead of the perceived menu listed pancetta. Pizza sauce was good, the sausage and mushrooms were great. Crust was a little doughy, not crispy but charcoal charred in places. Not phenomenal but not bad, middle of the road overall. Service started off great but fell flat to the floor.

The food was good, but the service was especially frustrating. I spent over 30 minutes on the phone, in both English and Spanish, trying to process payment, which lead to nowhere till I had to drive myself to the restaurant to swipe the card manually. When it was time to pick up the order, the restaurant could not spare anyone to help bring the food to our car, despite it being a large catering order and the pickup taking place on a very busy avenue. What was most disappointing was the lack of concern or willingness to offer any assistance. The food arrived late for our event as a result. While the food was good, the poor service has made me reconsider ordering catering from them again, returning as often, and recommending them to others. It's a shame because I genuinely enjoy the food, but there are other options available. Hopefully, the service issues I experienced with catering do not eventually carry over into the restaurant experience.
