“ Shrimp scampi was very good, and large portion. I loved the garlic bread. Lasagna were delicious and ceasar's salad was fresh and tasty. I will definitely go back to Domenico's in Pasadena. ”
“ My family has been going to Domenico’s for years and we have always loved their food! They’ve since re-modeled the interior of their restaurant. Honestly I miss the old setup, it had a more homemade, mom and pop shop type of feel. Now it’s more corporate. But the food still tastes amazing! It’s been a while since I’ve visited but they’ve always had the best tortellini pasta! That with a side of garlic bread is really the chefs kiss! For dessert make sure to try out their signature truffles! I always get the White chocolate Amore. Perfect way to end the meal! ”
“ This is my favorite Italian food place in Pasadena. Their prices are fair and their food is always tasty. I got their Cheese Ravioli/Spaghetti combo plate 12.25 and it was fantastic. Staff is super friendly! They even gave me some free garlic bread. Easy online ordering through their website and free parking in back. ”

“ I don’t know what everyone is talking about regarding them being closed for dine in. They are open, they just have very specific hours that aren’t accurate on Google. The dine in and takeout areas are separate, people! The food is awesome and the staff is awesome too. Worth the drive ”
“ With pickup and delivery becoming extremely popular out of necessity, I decided it was time to give an old stand-by a call. What a great experience! After I got the information from the recorded announcement, I ordered online. Even with my limited tech knowledge, it was easy. After about 5 minutes I received a call from Domenico's to double check my order. I had inadvertently ordered twice. I was very pleased at their thorough follow-up. The girl at the other end of line confirmed my order and indicated when it would be ready. I received text updates as the driver left the business and made his way to my location. It was an easy process. When he arrived,he was very courteous and made sure I had what had been ordered. Everything was packed in a sanitized way, and the food was still hot. I enjoyed the Big "D" special pizza and garlic bread with cheese. Their flavors were on point, and it was nice to have leftovers for another couple meals. I know everybody's very protective of their pizza preference, but this was excellent! It's nice to support a family-owned business with a great reputation. I will be ordering other items off the menu soon. All of their information is on their website. With protocols and regulations changing constantly, it's always good to double-check online. ”
