Orange County's newest upscale dining experience is now open on Lake Mission Viejo! Well known for our iconic location in Long Beach, Domenico’s was one of the first restaurants to serve pizza in California and is famous for our legendary pizzas and amazing Italian and American inspired dishes. Domenico's on the Lake is an upscale take on our original location featuring new steak and seafood entrees, while still featuring the original recipes that have made us an institution in Southern California.

    Wonderful dining experience! Wait staff was top notch. Our waiter even recommended a superb bottle of wine that we all agreed was the perfect pick. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning.

    We visited for Thanksgiving the turkey was outstanding. However, the prime beef was horrible. My mother was unable to eat it and the waitress saw that and didn’t offer to bring her something else.
