Apparently, Da Domenico's customer base mainly consists of regulars. The regulars love good Italian food and go back for exactly that. The pasta is wonderful: full of flavor and very authentic. The prosciuto was cut paper thin and was very tasty. The figs that accompanied that dish were ripe and sweet. The musssels were fresh. The broth used to steam them was just right. Not too strong. The original taste of the mussels was preserved well. The wine list was good, but I must complain tha
The pasta is wonderful: full of flavor and very authentic. The prosciuto was cut paper thin and was very tasty. The figs that accompanied that dish were ripe and sweet. The musssels were fresh. The broth used to steam them was just right. Not too strong. The original taste of the mussels was preserved well.
The wine list was good, but I must complain that there wasn't any description of the wine (i.e. the vinyard). Some didn't even list the vintage. When I pay over $1000 for a bottle of wine, I'd like to know a bit more about it. The waiter ended up making a good recommendation, but still.
About the service: in general the service was good. However, one of the waiters was a bit pushy in terms of recommending what to order. Also, he talked so fast that I couldn't understand half of what he said. It's great that he's knowledgable and all, but its Italian food: slow down.
Again with the overall setting of the place. The wait staff needs to slow down a bit. Stop running around at 5mph and clanging plates and silverware. It just ruins the whole eating experience. Yes, they are efficient, but the last I remember, Italians are all about being laid back and enjoying a meal. Being noisy is fine, but stop behaving like you're constantly in a rush.
Okay, the price. I guess you pay for what you get. Despite what others say, price is a big factor in determining whether a restaurant is worth going to or not. The food is great, but with these kinds of prices, I'm not sure how often I can afford to go to Da Domenico.
Overall, great restaurant with great food.
